I got this planer off eBay. It seems to be complete and in working order. There is a Maclaren school stamp on it, other than that I don't know the history. I pulled about a quart of sawdust out of the 5 horse motor. The drive side bearing in the motor was a little sticky. I had the motor overhauled at a local motor shop.
