From the looks of it, I wouldn' think there would be too much rust that it wouldn't clean up fine. The tops of the infeed and outfeed tables looks okay, so it's not like it's been sitting out in the rain. I'd just put some new knives in it, since it's been working okay so far.
How old is my Jointer?
I am trying to figure out about how old my jointer is. I need to replace the blades and just might go ahead and replace the cutterhead assembly as a unit, especially since it comes with all the associated parts, inluding 3 knife set and bearings. A new v-belt pulley and this should perform like a new one.
I have been using it for about a year and it has worked fine so far. New blades would make it produce a better looking finish.
It is a Jet JJ-6CSX - with the blue(?) paint scheme and factory mobile base.
The problem is apparently it had been sitting for awhile and the head is kinda rusty on one side and so are the bolts and the blade. Probably condensation since they were on the bottom of the head.
Other than that, I like it.
I found the replacement parts at eReplacement Parts.com. I haven't found anywhere else to compare prices.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

Dang, you guys are great! Just ask and you shall receive! 
So pre 1998 it is. After thinking about it, I have owned it for about a year and a half. I got it from a guy that was selling a hugh amount of big machines - wide belt sanders, panel gluing frames,etc. He had a unisaw but no way to test run it and I couldn't figure out how to move it because it was so heavy.
I found the spiral cutterhead at Grizzly so I am now thinking about gong that way. That should last me for years. The six inch is a good size for my small work area. No way I could have an eight inch so I might as well make this one work as good as I can.
Thanks again for all the help.
I really appreciate it.

I placed my order for the spiral cutterhead so good times are on the way.
BB, the head is rusty and so are the bolts. The blades I saw were 80-100 buxs. I did some that were $20 or so but have no idea how they would perform. I have no experience changing/setting the cutters. The spiral will solve that problem since it is plug-n-play. And it comes with the bearings installed.
