A lil TLC, and that’d be like new….... (a lot o tlc)........ I want the truck in the background..

-- Roger from KY. Work/Play/Travel Safe. Kentuk55@bellsouth.net

That would take a bit of work, I wonder what it weighs?

-- Bondo Gaposis

that planer is a BEAST
,,, the truck behind it looks likes my Dad’s when I was in grade school

-- keeping myself entertained

Oh my goodness! It would look great rehabbed and planing planks in your shop Jim.

And, its in a JUNKYARD!!! LOL
I don’t have the space for it….
Also, The bearings look rusted….
It will be a nice pair with that crazy table saw (I cant remember his name) wanted.
I really want that old truck…

-- My terrible signature...

Porbably worth close to that for scrap

It actually looks salvageable with a lot of work, most of the paint still seems to be present. Getting a bucket of stripper big enough to dip it in could be a problem though.

Did you see the feed rate on that beast? 45’ or 65’ per minute!

-- Made in America, with American made tools....Shopsmith

45 feet… WOW!
I don’t think it comes with a motor….
But, Imagine changing the knives on it!

I’d offer less. Commodity prices are going to fall. China is having trouble and the Shanghai is down 30% in the last year. Better offer $300 tops Jim ;-))

Roger that looks like it might be a 52 Ford
Bondo it looks like it weighs as much as my pick up :))
Dan I bet your dads truck was in better shape.
Shane did you so the size of the foot print on that puppy ? 8’8”x 12’ 2” I’d have to build and addition :))
Alexandre I think your thinking of Red Green. Looks like you have to get in line for the truck.:))
Hey Bob I’ll have them put the planer on your Pay Pal that’s $300 plus shipping to your house = $7500 :)

I’ll pass. I suspect it will need blades. Besides, I don’t have a tub big enough to put this in for electrolysis removal of the rust.

That thing looks scary ... all those exposed gears just looking for a pant leg, a shirt sleeve, or hand!

A friend of my has a lot of vintage equipment … all working and useable … the lack of proper guarding is just amazing!

How much power would it take to run this thing?

-- Bert

Jim: What, you auditioning for a position in American Pickers?
Holy smokes, it looks like it’s now one big piece of rusted iron.

Hey Tom your 10 ft tall in my mind.:))
Wow I don’t know about the power Bert ? may be some kind of engine off an air craft carrier ? :))
Paul shhhhh ,I didn’t want the others to know, now everyone will want to be the third guy on Pickers. I knew my chances were slim since I don’t have any Tatts. LOL

Sorry to disappoint Al, but I think I am gonna pass. I do have a few friends who are looking at it. My guess is it will be headed east soon.

Though I’d like a larger planer… my wife would shoot me if I brought that beast home :^O

-- Matt, Pine is fine, but Oak's no joke!

I would hurt my back if I moved that.
