I just found a Rockwell-Delta 37-110 , 4" planer. The whooziwhatsie attached to the end of the fence (to tilt it, marked in degrees) is cracked in half, but my brother-in-law thinks he can weld it and I'm considering putting it back in service, mainly for kicks.
What I'm trying to find out is:

1-It's belt driven. What horse motor and what speed? I assume due to it's age it would be a 1750,1/2 to 3/4 but I'm just guessing.

2-The infeed and outfeed table are both adjustable.What's the deal here?

3-There are no adjustment increments, unless something is missing but it doesn't look like it. No mysterious holes lacking screws or anything obvious like that. How DID those guys adjust this thing?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
