Pro Planer Overhaul

In a previous thread, I mentioned that I had purchased a restorable planer. It had evidently been dropped on the table so hard that it bent the adjusting screws. I have purchased new screws and the owners manual and am now awaiting a replacement infeed roller. In the meantime, I have been busily cleaning up the unit while awaiting the roller. I have everything disassembled and in a box (or 2). Is there a step-by-step set of instructions available for guidance in reassembly? Since I have a strong tendency to do things wrong first, a guide would be real time saver.

I have never had to "reassemble" my planer but in other instances I have been able to get procedures from Shopsmith. I would suggest you call customer service, tell them what you are facing and ask with they have an assembly procedure for your planer.
