Sargent plane yoke source

[Bill_Houghton]

Incidentally, if you're looking to make a user, rather than a restoration, you might ask, in contacting parts sellers, whether another maker's yoke will fit.  The basic geometry is the same for all the Bailey-type planes.

Biggest difference will be in the size of the pin....and the holes it will be going into.  DAMHIKT

I had this problem once before on my Sargent jointer. Fortunately for me, one of the other guys here was able to send me a replacement yoke from a donor plane, and another of the guys installed it for me.

If you can't find the yoke specifically, you may be able to find a Sargent plane of the same model to use as a donor plane--or perhaps a whole frog assembly. It would save you the trouble of trying to replace the yoke itself, which is a delicate operation. Both the yoke and the frog are cast, so if you're not very careful, you can end up breaking one or both pieces.

I got it sorted out with a yoke from a really junky plane from the flea market. Thanks everybody for the ideas and help.
