Just a tid-bit...Lowe's sells these little trinaguar low-rider casters for $7 a piece...imagine a little bitty auto-creeper with only three caster wheels connected to a rubber-coated metal cup in the middle. They are rated for something like 200 lbs each.

I position 4 of them under the outer anti-scalp wheels of the deck and lower the deck onto them. Pop the shaft and the over-center rig in the front and just slide the whole thing out the side. Then you are free to wheel it wherever you like (if you, of course, remove it in your garage or a similarly smooth surface), greatly increasing the storage possiblities.

I also have 4 under my 4' BoxBlade and 4 under my aerator simply for the sake of not killing myself moving them around. Now I can just line them up against the wall until needed.

Haven't figured anything out for the FEL yet.
