I wish! Believe me, I'd love to.
I had good success moving my lathe into it's current position using a hand winch and plywood, it was easy to get the plywood under each end just by screwing up the feet. It then slid easily enough to winch off the bases of the shed posts. I'd been mulling over rollers, purpose-built trolleys and the like for ages but was pleasantly surprised how easily just a plywood sheet slid on the concrete with about 2.5 tonne on it.
My leadscrew wasn't working when I bought my lathe, there was a mystery box full of levers and pins, it was surprisingly easy to figure out how it all went together. I think these machines are quite simple to figure out when you have some experience with engines and gearboxes and the like, which I'm sure you have.
