Re: Looking for a Planer # 505990
Well I think I've found one. It looks in good shape, a little dirty and dusty from storage. They bought it at an estate auction sale thinking it was a stand alone. Won't get a chance to look at it or know until Monday. According to them it has the manual but doesn't have the mounting parts that secure it to the Shopsmith. I don't know what they look like, so I don't know what to look for. If somebody has pictures of what I need, I'll order them. I'll take a guess and say that there are brackets/clamps that hold it to the tubes.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A POLITICIAN AND A FELON IS... THE FELON GOT CAUGHT !! 
1995 Shopsmith 510 (bought new), and 510 mounted SS Router,SS Jointer,SS Bandsaw,Sander,Vacuum System, Delta Jig Saw(bench top)and many other tools in which to hurt myself.

Congratulations - hope it is in good shape and you are able to get it.
The brackets are as you guessed:

Looks like a pair with handles will cost about $40 plus shipping.
When I got my planer, it too was missing the brackets, but they are the same as the one on a speed reducer (and a lathe duplicator so it appears by the name on the Parts List), and I just made 2 out of wood and some hardware store clamping knobs:

Thanx for the pics...
Those wooden ones you made look sweet! They won't mark or scratch the chrome tubes making it rough to move the headstock around. Already fought that battle removing some gouges that happened a few years back. But I got them smoothed out again. So I'm cautious now.
