Remarkable that tiny part still available.
Most of the parts on my 25 year old planer were listed as obsolete and unavailable. It's remarkable that every single part out of hundreds was listed. In a world where millions of people can't get a loaf of bread, I got my key. And it worked

I\'ve got a Delta 22-560. The planer smelt like burnt plastic, so I removed one of the side covers. There are 2 screws at the bottom of the side cover. I then found out that this side housed the chain drives, and they all looked alright. So I then removed the other side cover, and the cutterhead locking handle. This exposed the be

So I ordered a new cutterhead pulley, key- way and drive belt. I tried to order a new belt guard but I found out that it was discontinued. So I formed one out of plastic. I then reinstalled the parts and assembled the side covers. While I fixing it, I also replaced both motor brushes and cleaned off the outfeed roller and the infeed roller. For $70.00 in parts, I\'m back woodworking. Better than $300-$400 for a new one.

Nut on cutter head drive pulley came loose during normal operation and belt, pulley and key were destroyed. Also, belt cover was badly damaged.
1. Be certain the planer is disconnected from power! Remove side cover by taking out two Phillips head screws and taking off height locking handle.
2. Remove two more Phillips head screws holding the damaged belt cover in place and remove the damaged belt and cover.
3. Use the heat gun to remold the cover and then apply duct

4. Next I wiggled the pulley until it finally pulled off the shaft of the cutter head and also removed the damaged key sitting in the key-way. Used the file and 400 grit emery paper to smooth out the shaft, especially the area around the lip of the key-way.
5. Dropped in the new key and inserted the new pulley on the shaft. Put Removable Loctite on the threads of the nut and shaft, then tightened the nut holding the pulley onto the cutter head shaft.
6. Worked the new 6-rib drive belt onto the motor pulley and cutter head pulley. This is a very tight fit, so you need to start it on the smaller motor pulley and then force it in and forward on the larger new cutter head pulley. It will fit, but requires some brute force.
7. Before reassembly of the reshaped belt cover and planer side cover, I plugged the planer into power and tested it without any load (wood being planed). It ran well and there was no wobble in the new pulley which had fit smoothly on the cutter head shaft.
8. Disconnected from power and reinstalled the belt cover with two Phillips head screws, the main side cover using two Phillips head screws and reassembled the cutter head locking handle.
9. Reconnected to power and tested without planing wood and then under load. Works super!

Nut loosened on cutter head drive and destroyed belt and pulley
Remove the belt cover, remove the damaged belt and pulley. Make sure the key way in the cutterhead shaft is okay. Install the key in the shaft line up the key and the key way in the pulley and tap it on with a mallet. Then use some blue loctite on the shaft and tighten the nut.
Install the new belt and replace the cover.

Making noise and found that nut on pulley was lose and pulley was wobbly
I removed the nut, pulled the mangled pulley and key off of the shaft, and removed the shaft lock, Then, after cleaning everything up, installed the new parts. I used Lotcktite when replacing the nut. Apparently, having the nut back off the shaft is a known problem with this planer, but I used it for 15 years before having any kind of
