Planer refurbishment

Hi there-

It has taken awhile to recuperate to the point I feel comfortable enough to work in the shop. One oe my longstanding projects is to replace both the infeed and outfeed rollers on a Proplaner I bought used. My question is this: the instructions say to loosen 2 nuts by the motor and tighten the two lower nuts to remove the belt from the pulley. I am unsure about the nuts which the instructions are referring to.

Bruce-

Thanks. I think shoulder joint surgeries are the worst to recover from. But at least I can now work on things without having to rely on pain killers. I didn't want to be on them while working on equipment.

Wise fellow. Shoulder surgeries are great when they work. I pray you continue getting better. Follow the surgeons and PT's advise in every way. Protect that shoulder. If you injure it again you may find yourself unable to improve. Please I do not wise to be maudlin or sound negative I am truly thrilled your procedure is working well. I am one from that small percentage whom did not follow the program and have undergone two additional procedures. I am limited in what I can do and how long I can be active. Today my therapist informed me I have lost nearly 20% of the limited motion I had in the right arm. A reverse shoulder replacement is my only option and the prognosis from that procedure still offers crappy odds. Use care my friend and don't push yourself. Jim
