I will be dismayed if we have to disassemble and downgrade to our original system.
I wouldn't think that you would have to disassemble and downgrade to the original system. Just disassemble and reassemble in the pits. The parts that go into the mechanism total up to less than 25 pounds. Just put it together on Thursday. Thus is my humble opinion.
