@@moforkevin Honwstly it’s been so long now I can’t remember. But due to the price of repairs we sold the car to the dealer and made our escape. It would be hard to do these days due to how little they cost after depreciation. But check through my notes on here and I explained what’s up I just can’t can’t remember details now

@@3dg323dg3 I ordered a new tensioner gear and it didn’t fit. I gave up at that point. I’ve got an old Shop Smith that’s older than I am that’s still chugging along. Very little maintenance needed and a simple design. Now I don’t need the planed board to be 100% dead even (even if the DeWalt) could do that with the over engineered worm screws of death but the Shop Smith works great for me. Please if you get it going let us know about it.

I was raised in Phelps, I'm about sick of it and I'm getting ready to leave it.

@@IanHager It was a different world in ‘65-67. I’ve only been back a couple of times. They’ve paved “Widder’s Branch” hollar and torn down my old high school. I’ve heard you can never go back home. Still, I have wonderful memories. My dad once was the pastor of Phelps Baptist Church.

@@DrBible-ThD-HarvardLaw I usually attend that Church, I still live here now and I was born in 08', my main issue right now is the crackheads that walk around and get into stuff. Anytime I go out I always carry a gun to be safe.

@@IanHager It’s the same where my wife came from in Rockcastle Co. In better days we could walk from her home place back to Egypt, Ky. I wouldn’t do that now if I was armed and dangerous. I’m retired FBI, FBI SWAT & Vietnam vet. But the meth monsters have ruined the mountains.

@@DrBible-ThD-HarvardLaw Definitely agree with you, god bless you and thank you for your service.

The issue come back again

That correct, Mines just did that out of nowhere, I couldnt find the proper video to guide me so I took a stab at it without touching or unhousing the planer.

I appreciate it!! I gave up and used a much older one that still worked after decades of more use. Go figure.

@@edratliff In reply it took me a full day to figure this problem out. Provided your problem is the same as mine. As I understand you have only the front left post that is spinning and it should not be. Remove the planer from the stand to access the the tightening screw at the underside for that post. That should keep it from spinning. Strip the planer of all its top covers as you did when you cleaned it. You then will have access to all the chain path and it's tension take up mechanism at the front of the planer. Loosen the chain so that it drops out of place. Here is the tricky part. Look under the covered part of the post you just tightened and you will see a large retention collar with two small Allen head cap screws. The purpose of this collar is to retain a backlash tension spring. The tension setting for these springs is intended to protect against any backlash of the cutter head while in turn letting the height adjustment crank work smoothly. This spring can be very tight which in turn makes the chain cog above be very stiff or not turn in concert with the others at all. Try if you can to loosen those two cap screws. They were treated with blue lock tight at the factory so it will initially be a challenge to get them to turn. The cap screws are a right hand thread. You will have to remove those cap screws in order to turn the retention collar. Doing so you will have to find where they screw back in along with the "sweet spot" of the retention spring. As you remove the cap screws, so will the collar spring loosen they are holding by turning the the retention collar. (The collar also is a right hand thread.) By turning this collar you effectively loosen the cog above. Magic! After removing the cap screws, turn collar and feel the cog above with your hand to see if you feel any difference in resistance. If your with me so far the real frustration begins. So you may say you want to check the others while your at it. Go ahead at your own peril because just looking at the engineering of this planer you understand those chain cogs HAVE to be in concert with each other going up and down the screw posts. They provide for the knives and feed rollers to be absolutely parallel with the planer bed. This is where it took me all day to get right. I loosened all my spring collars and got them so that they would 1) make easy to crank, 2) hold enough tensioned so the knives wouldn't backlash. 3) that all four corners were raising and lowering uniformly for a flat feed and surface results. All the while trying to get all four corners to be at the same level and the stupid chain not to bind around the cog's. ( I'd rather try to solve Rubik's Cube than do this again) Should you attempt these adjustments I truly believe you'll have many "A-HA"! moments as you discover what it is you are trying to accomplish. Good luck, and God speed my brother!

@@campion05 wiw campion that’s a detailed tutorial. I’ll try what I can. Where I’m stuck now is that toothed wheel that the chain is tensioned by has a broken tooth. It made of plastic and all the hard turning before I found out for sure it’s fouled up broke it. I ordered one from Amazon and it’s a different size. I gave up as I needed to move on. I’ll have to try again and find the right right sprocket and put it in.

On 2/1/2024 I bought mine brand new. On 2/2/2024 I exchanged for a new one. Same issue, but it was back left pole. Stuck at 2 on vertical depth tape, and getting it to six was a full body work out. 😂

We sold it

Hey what was the issue

I figure you got it figured out by now. The hookup for the cutter is straight forward. The only tricky parts are getting the PTO shaft engaged and the deck of the cutter adjuster level so one side doesn’t dig in.

We sold the car not long after this. 😱

Did you check the brake pads?

Yup. I had an AFX full race PCM that bumped rev limiter up to 8600 on another Neon. Top end staid together surprisingly.

@@edratliff so it was the 2.0 dohc still with the afx ecu

I believe it was..If it wasn’t it was an AFX-R PCM.

I’m not sure where this was at…it was actually closer to Ezel I think. I was just passing through and stopped to watch this guy.

I have this same code right now. What was the issue

​@@meshawilliams837any luck figuring out that code? I have the same problem

Are you saying the bridge workers make good money? I’d say they do but for me anyways it ain’t enough lol

He does literally

It’s the master cylinder controller in this situation. In the end they sold the car at a loss because this was thousands to fix.

​@edratliff brother issue in my car , only while on the AC , messages appears in screen

Hey did you figure it out? And did you receive the class action settlement notification for your car?

Nah. I’m sure this has happened countless times before.
