This was owned by my great uncle in his shop, along with a homemade sawmill powered by a 1917 Hudson. I remember many logs sawn, and my uncle making siding for his garage with the planer. I think he ground his own profiles for the outfeed shaper heads. Machine is now owned by my father and was used infrequently but was still serviceable. However. the depth adjustment no longer works properly, the back goes up front does not. Would like to communicate with members that have worked on these for tips on threaded parts, flat belt usage etc. Anyone know how to lace a flat belt??
