Next there are chain sprockets that have to be taken off on the left side of the Unit.
They are held by some compression spring washers.. I had to use a special tool for
those compression washers. Took the sprocket off and the chains of ... Read more f. They have to
be taken off together or they won\'t come off. Now there are two sets of screws, with Philips
screw driver heads that hold some small brackets that hold the bushings in place. Those
are going to be hard to take off with out messing up the heads of those screws. The rollers
have a spring that pushes down on the rollers.. It would be a good Idea to relieve the pressure of the springs and rollers that the brackets are holding back before trying to remove those two screws on each bracket. I used a piece of wood and cranked the rollers down to relieve some of the pressure. But still had a hard time to removing those two screws without messing the heads of those Philip Screw Heads. But I finally got them off. I\'ll never forget their size. They are 10/32 SAE small Philip Headed Screws. { I replaced these with some easier to take off and put back on screws. }
Before I put everything back the way I disassembled my Unit, I went out and purchased new screws to replace the 8 Philip Headed Screws that go through the brackets that hold down the bushing that the rollers run on.
Those screws that I replace, I used Allen Wrench Head, Case Hardened Screws. They can be purchased at Lowes, or any good Hardware Store that handle small case hardened screws..
Everything put back the way I found it, I turned it on and my Wood Planner runs like a champ. Those bushing were oblong and wouldn\'t let the rollers turn, and push the boards through the machine. I ordered a new Belt, just in case I would need to replace it.. But it wasn\'t the belt that was causing my problem. So I now have a spare belt just in case I should ever need one.

Feed rollers kept skipping. Initially thought it was bad chain, but turned out one of the bushings had been almost entirely worn through.

2) Remove plastic yellow side panels. You must remove the one on left side of planer, the one on the right just makes it easier. There are two small screws at the top holding each in place. Quite a lot of forc ... Read more e is required to pop these panels out.
3) On left side of unit, remove plastic housing covering chain/sprocket assembly. There are two screws from the bottom holding cover in place, one on either side, near the vertical rails. This should expose the ends of three axles, with two chain connecting them.
4) Remove retaining clips from end of axles to release sprockets. This was the hardest part, especially if you don\'t have the correct tool. I tried to get them with needle nose pliers and screwdrivers, but folded and purchased specialty pliers. Much easier with the right tool.
5) Remove sprockets, chains and spacers from axles.
6) The two bushings on this side should be exposed. You can identify the retaining bracket that is holding the bushings against some springs.
7) Remove all four retaining brackets. Each one is held in with two screws from the bottom of the assembly. This will require a very short screw driver as the clearance is minimal.
8) As the retaining brackets are removed the bushings will drop as they are being pressed by springs out of the assembly. Be sure to retain springs, they rolled all over my shop when I was not paying attention. There are two springs pushing the back left bushing, be aware.
9) Remove old bushings. Inspect for wear on the rollers. As the rollers are now out of the planer, this is a good time to clean them.
10) Lubricate new bushings. I used a silicon spray lubricant as suggested by my local power tool store. Slide new bushings on to rollers. Wipe away excess lubricant, you don\'t want that interacting with the rubber on the rollers.
11) Prepare retaining brackets, springs and bushing/roller assemblies. Insert spring first, then slide in bushing, paying attention to orientation. The long side should be parallel with the planing bed. This should mean there are no gaps between the sides of the bushing and the cutting assembly. Once spring and bushing are in place, re attach retaining bracket. Do this for all four bushings. Be sure to add the second spring to the back left bushing. This is the bushing where the rod had two sprockets, one from the motor and one going to the other roller.
12) Inspect chains. Lubricate or replace as needed. Re-attach sprockets with chains. Put the spacer on before putting the front roller sprocket on. Re-attach retaining clips.
13) Re-assemble housings and you should be good to go.
When planing, drive chains would jump causing a cut line across the board being planed.

Symptoms: When planing, drive chains would jump causing a cut line across the board being planed.
Cause: Found drive roller bushings worn elliptical causing excessive looseness in drive chains. Further inspection revealed worn ball bearings, cutter head drive pulley worn and loose, m ... Read more otor bushings excessively worn, lack of grease in motor gearing; gear shaft ends/bushings not lubricated (from factory), unsealed ball bearings in motor shaft housing dry and unlubricated (from factory).
Solution:
1. Completely disassembled the planer and removed worn parts, shafts, motor, disassembled motor gear housing, removed ball bearings, removed head-stock, removed head-stock bearings, cleaned all cast housings, shafts, etc.
2. Reassembled gear housing using sealed and lubricated ball bearings, lubricated drive gears, replaced motor brushes (be sure to run-in the motor brushes under no load for 10 minutes before re-mounting in head-stock casting), reassemble head-stock cutter shaft bearings, cutter head shaft, pulley and feed roller bushings.
3. Note: lightly lubricate roller bushings with heavy duty grease where bushings slide against casting and lightly lubricate the roller shaft ends with heavy grease. A steel shaft against a steel bushing is not a good thing and is what caused the wear to begin with. Ideally, these bushings should have been made with sintered bronze.
4. Continue reassembling remaining parts and realign the head-stock for even planing side-to-side.
Second note: For 733 type 1 planers, remove the locking nut at the top of the two height adjustment screws and discard. These cause binding when raising and lowering the head-stock.
