OK, I am back again and marveling once again at the badass planer with a 10
horse motor on it. If anybody had one of thse back in the day, they would
have plenty of biz running around planing the output from all of the small
sawmills around.

But I have this wise * gene. So..... I just have to do this.

That planer is good and all. But......., where is the dust control
system??

OK, I will go now.

You also seem to have the 'stating-the-obvious' gene. *smirk*

Cool!

Do you know if it's a 2 or 4 stroke diesel?

Those are good questions. What is the RPM of that Diesel?


Typically very low, below 2000 rpm.

Intake manifold. ;~)

Don't know what OP did, of course, and don't know the specific engine
precisely, but most small industrial diesels are torque-rated at roughly
2200-2400 rpm. The little Japanese 3-cylinders JD uses in their small
utility tractors are right in the middle at 2300 rpm for 540/1000 rpm PTO.

So, assuming this is in the same general range, it wouldn't take a
terribly big step in pulley sizes to get roughly the right cutterhead
speed; 20% or so on each from originals would certainly be good enough.

I was trying to be funny... 10 HP with all that weight won't get you
far, eh?

Btw, I have been reading a bit on diesel aircraft engines. They seem
to have quite a following.

A cyclone would work better.
