OK guys, I took a look at the machine, and it is quite the beast. Now, I
need help... I am looking for Operator & Parts list manual since I would
want to install a new cutterhead and bearings. Did a bunch of searching,
came up relativelly empty with the minor exemption of a Delta model that
looks to be close. Just point me in the right direction woule be great
Any leads on replacement parts, parts list etc would be greatly appreciated.
I need to act quickly as I doubt it will be available for any great period
of time.

Cannot help you too much beyond noting the other day that your preferred
cutter head is available...
I also see that it is an F3a and not an F9a... Not sure how a 3 became a 9
even with a typo!

Since that machine was made in the mid '70s, its doubtful the manual
is online anywhere. Google found this thread:

Fellow did a beautiful restoration with a Byrd cutter head - maybe he
could help you find more information. Or maybe Byrd has some info for
the cutter changeover.
