Dewalt 734 making rattling noise?

[Trey1984]

My dewalt 734 is making a rattling noise... It stop for a brief moment thenstart back. Does while are idle and when planning wood and stops while doing both. I changed the blades (while I was checking for loose screws/bolts) and that didn't change nothing nor did I find anything. Was seeing if anyone else has had this problem and if so what was it. Thanks in advance

Sounds like one of the gear drive chains is slipping/loose.

Is that something can be replaced or is it time to get another planer? Thanks

The biggest problem I had with my Dewalt was the gears. They broke causing all sorts of issues. It is a known problem with the Dewalt planers.

I think the chains/gears are replaceable ...some effort to get the out but doable.
