Need part for early 60's Delta 18" planer

[Siskiyou]

Good morning. I've recently acquired a nice old planer from the early 60's. It's an 18" Rockwell/Delta 22-200. The worm wheel is wore out and I'm having no luck in finding another. Hopefully someone here might know where I might find one. I've called Delta and Rockwell and they both said "Good luck". It's listed here as # 9.

You probably will have to find a stock gear from Boston Gear or other and modify as necessary. Looks like 30 teeth and about 3 inch diameter. So, a 10dp 30t gear is required. Boston G1061ARH would probably be a good starting point if these assumptions are correct. Finding a shop to remove the hub, bore it out, add a key slot is much easier.

Good luck.

Your best bet is to post this on the OWWM site, this is a fairly common problem with these machines

Good luck

The set is often sold on ebay. About $600 for the pair. Consider replacing with a modern three phase gear motor and vfd. Possibly a cogged belt drive.

I belive that planer was first made by crescent around 1930. So parts are out there.
