Parts used:
one new feed roller sprocket (5140010-81),
one new retaining ring (5140010-80), (order two in case one pops off the snap ring plier)
two new springs (5140011-04).
Suggestion: to know how many parts to order, remove both black side covers to determine if one or more broken sprockets are causing your rollers not to feed. If all is intact, then you have a different cause for the rollers not feeding.
1. Unscrew and remove both black side covers and the yellow top cover that gives access to the dust shroud and blades. Remove the height adjustment wheel to reach the screws securing that side cover. Behind each side cover are two feed roller sprockets, a short chain running between the sprockets, a lever with a wheel on one end that has the purpose of pressing against the chain to keep the chain tracking properly, and a spring on the other end of the lever. In one side compartment, the spring is attached to a horizontal post, and in the other compartment the spring fits into a slot in the metal plate above.
2. On each side, one sprocket is held on the feed roller shaft with a screw and washer, but the other sprocket is held on the shaft with a retaining ring. This retaining ring is round with two tiny holes at each end - it is NOT the 'E" ring retainer! Remove the retaining rings with a snap ring plyer that has nubs small enough to fit into these tiny holes.
3. After I opened both sides of the planer, of the four sprockets, two on each side, one sprocket was broken into three pieces. The others were not damaged nor particularly worn. I also found in each side one broken spring and one sprung spring.
4. I removed the retaining ring and the broken sprocket, then slid a new sprocket onto the shaft, followed by a new retaining ring. Be sure to seat the ring firmly into the groove on the shaft.
5. I replaced the broken springs on each side. NOTE: before replacing the springs, seat the lever wheel on the chains as follows: on the side with the height adjustment wheel, the lever wheel should track along the TOP of the chain; on the other side, the wheel should track BENEATH the chain.
6. Replace side covers. change or flip blades to a sharper side, if necessary; wax the feed table so lumber will be drawn across the table more easily with less friction, thereby reducing stress on the roller parts.
7. Get a test board, grab your ear bobs, flip the switch on, then enjoy watching your newly repaired planer suck in the board then spit a thinner version out the other end. DONE! And so gratifying to repair it myself.
