I bought this planer from someone listing it on Craigslist. He owned another Forsberg planer (almost exactly the same model). I was able to find info from OWWM and the former owner. Unfortunately it didn't come with a crucial (factory made) drive pulley,allowing the cutter head and drive rollers to be powered by the same motor. I overcame this obsticle by having seperate motors for the cutter head and drive rollers.
