I recently was given an elderly Sears planer which appears to be identical to the Parks Model 95. Does anyone have an Owner’s Manual to sell or photocopy for sale? Machine seems to be fine but I’d like to know how the Mfr recommends adjustments, etc.. Sears denies the existance of the Model#.

Should be plenty of references in the archives as well as this comes up frequently.
Thank you all! I was able to download the desired document from http://www.oldwwmachines.
Send me, [email protected], your email address and I'll send you a copy of the manual.
Well, I hope you fix it up and use it! I've had a similar Parks (and original motor) for over 25 years and it just won't die. I got it used and paid $800 for it and thought it was a bargin. Really good and heavy machine. Just don't let it fall on you (a little experience here). I have the stand on dollies so I can move it around. I also made my own dust hood for it out of 1/4" plywood. I've hogged an untold amount of rough lumber through it. I take out the bed rollers and slick up the bed when I don't want end snipe.
