Can a 12" Planer w/o feed motor be converted to manual feed?

[jsburger]

I hate to have to revive this thread, but I find myself in need of a replacement brush housing for a Shopsmith Mark-mount 12" planer feed motor. The brush shouldn't be a challenge, but one of the housings and cap are trash. Has anyone confirmed a source? Thanks, Scott

Search the forum Scott. There is an extensive discussion on all things feed motor a number of years ago. Brushes, brush housings, motor manufacturer, rewinding source , etc.. Don't know if a brush housing source is in the thread but it is worth a look.

If he is unsuccessful I will spill the beans.

Yup I think it is. So if the answer is not there I guess there is no answer for now or ever.

Gents, I've been searching this forum, and while I don't expect someone to do the heavy lifting for me, the dead ends and dead URLs are a little maddening. If there is a complete thread that someone knows, I, and I'm sure others after me, would appreciate a bread crumb trail.

If you don’t find what you’re looking for, maybe try reaching out to a motor repair shop locally?

That will likely be my next stop, but I’m awaiting a response from Von Weise.
