I was told this planer was used in a large saw mill in Grants Pass, Oregon during the 1050's. I just acquired it and am looking for any information on this size machine. It is a "Pony" and has a 24" 4 knife cutter head, and what looks like an original electric motor. The second, lower motor looks to be a homemade mount to power the feed rollers seperately. Both motors are 3 phase. It is fully functional.
