So, recently, I purchased a used Grizzly G1033 from a fellow Creeker. He had bought it used off someone else, and admittedly hadn't used it. He gave me a great deal, and while it works just fine (actually, it purrs), it could really use a tune up. Could I do it? Maybe. This type of thing really isn't my forte. I have the manual and have read it through (a couple of times) and know what I am comfortable fooling with and what I'm not. Partly because of tools (for tuning up) and partly because of experience. I bought some new blades and changed the gear oil already. New blades aren't on, but I do know how to do that. The belts are in good condition and don't need to be changed.
What I don't want to do is spend a lot of time trying this and that, not being familiar with planer tune ups, only to end up needing someone to come in anyway. I called Grizzly and they neither have field techs nor companies that they sub out to for field calls.
So, anyone in my area (due South of Hagerstown, due west of Frederick, 25 minutes from both) with the know how, that wants to come out and tinker? I'll be more than happy to help. To use an analogy, I just don't want to change the battery, spark plugs and oil on my car when what it needs is the timing belt to be adjusted...which I don't know how to do...
If you are available, let me know what you want for it. Cash, beer, cash and beer....
Thanks.
