Serial No. 65-547 I aquired this planer from a man who bought it at an auction for a trade school in Mississippi. It came with a 5HP 3PH motor. I currently run with a 2HP 1PH motor. When I got the planer the knives were installed backwards! I installed new knives and it runs like a champion. I started repainting but too many other projects take priority.
