Seems like a few of the OSHA covers have been removed from those machines. I wonder if Grizzly included shipping for those monsters back then?

Thanks for posting this.

In my sawmill career I have ran several
belt driven planers(none steam powered).

A babbitt bearing Woods molder,
A 1936 woods 412 four side planer,
and a 1950 yates a-20.

Still have a scar on my back where a belt parted
and slapped my ass to the floor.
