guess the seabees used these


Probably not although I did run across a circular saw mill in one of the
hollers east of here that was powered by a Ford Model T engine in all its
glory. It even had the wide canvas belts what were engaged by a big lever.

Has a circular saw (abou 40 inch diameter) that was belt driven off
the pulley of the 1949 Massey Harris 44 with a 6 inch wide flat belt.
Cutting rock elm would open the governor up pretty good.
