Got a planer!

[Braeden P]

It’s a New Haven model 5, made around the late 1880s to early 1890s, more hefty than the later ones in the 1899 catalogue. Got it from Tuckahoe steam and gas and Paolo was able to deliver. Every part is there except the nuts to raise and lower the crossbeam. Even have the oil cups are there. Water bottle for scale near the uprights.

It's beautiful! Maybe a hit and miss engine would be in order to keep it period...

Or even a steam engine…

Very cool.
A guy I follow on YouTube is working on an old planer right now. Keep us posted on your progress.

Cutting oil is my blood.

Hey there Braeden, we can't wait to see what you do with it. Paolo said the offload went well. Post lots of pictures of your progress.

My friend set it down a bit too quick with his tractor, that scared me but it was alright. Paolo knew how to rig it and it was unloaded quicker than we got the straps off. I am going to check if I have any flat belts skinny enough to use and should be able to start working on it tomorrow.
