Scarey! I cut a LOT of elm with a similar saw back on the farm in the late sixties - ours was flat belt driven off the pulley of the 1949 Massey Harris 44 - it would cut wood all day running at idle on a gallon or two of gas. OSHA would have a BIRD today!!! No guards on the blade or the belt |

Likewise, we had one that we ran off an 8N Ford. Everybody had one back then. Don't recall hearing of accidents with them, though looking back, it's almost amazing you didn't. Back then, communications weren't near as rampant as they are today. Also people were more liable to keep their problems, deaths, injuries, whatever within their own specific communities. At least, that's the way it was in the communities I lived in. |

Well - communitites were a lot tighter then - albeit, larger than the micro communities of today. Farmers knew each other, their daily goings-on, etc. Local communications were quite quick and spread throughout the "community". When someone got hurt, everyone knew it within the day, and as was the course, neighbors rose to helping out. People may have kept personal issues to themselves more than the idiot Facebook mentality of today, but that was not true of events such as farming accidents, deaths, etc. You had the communications between neighbors, but you also had the "network" which consisted of "carriers" such as the milk truck driver, etc. that got the word spread quite widely, quite quickly. Indeed - if accidents did happen on the farm, everybody around knew about it very quickly. -- -Mike- |

If you think accidents didn't happen, you never were in a town where the big industry was a sawmill or shake mill. |

Those straight 8's were big old thinigs - our other neighbour had a '47 Buick .. I'm pretty sure that the neighbour who used the Durant to power the buzz saw - went through the clutch & tranny and through the differential ? to a home made belt drive.

"woodchucker" wrote ... Very scary..The antithesis of saw stop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKKcyKxu7aQ We had a bigger saw like this on our tractor growing up. It was on the front of a massy Ferguson tractor. It was on the loader and could be raised and lowered. It was driven by a big canvas belt that was powered by a power take off wheel on the side of the tractor. Yep, our tractor came with the ability to drive equipment with canvas belts. Just like the old water wheel and steam engine factories. Only this was portable. Talk about bridging to eras/technologies. Brings back memories. (codespeak for I am an old fart) |
