Comments:
Machine was found on CL and had at one point been in a barn. It was complete with no major issues other than rust. Bearings were replaced with a complete rebuild. The motor is an old LeLand 3hp repulsion/induction motor. The planer seems to be from around 1950, based on the craftsman badge being on top, 3 hump gearbox, tall nuts, and waffle pattern on bottom of table. The long read on the rebuild is located here http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=88172
