  I don't have the money right now or else I would, if you want to buy it, it is on Lancaster pa Craigslist but you have to search wheel horse no space or else you can't find it.

I don't think they would let you demonstrate that saw at the "Big Show"! At least I hope not.   :hide:

I would not want any of my body parts near that blade. Is that a hydro pump on the front under the mount for the saw?

Yes I think it is hydro, it is very cool and a total death machine, but not as bad as the saw that hooks to my grandfathers 1948 John Deere A

Yeah, I don't think so.  I could lose major parts of my body using that thing, some of them deeply important to my overall well-being.  I'd be happy to watch from a safe distance if one of you guys wanted to buy it for "us".  Or maybe watch a video. :hide:

It is a cut off saw. It only looks dangerous until you know how it works. The tray is in the closed position in that picture. It swings out to load the wood. Then you slide the wood out and push it through the saw you don't have to get that close to the saw blade. It's the same as any saw, when the wood your cutting gets too short it's dangerous. A person would have to be really careless, dumb or drunk to get hurt. There were at least three of them around on full size tractors where I grew up. They were used to cut fire wood before chain saws. They were real handy for cutting up slabs. You could get a load of slabs at the saw mill for free they were glad to get them out of their way. You could hear them half a mile away.

 

Safety was your own responsible when I grew up.  We had all those things that the government has banned in the last 60 years in an open garage.

All good points, Lee1977.  There's a similar set up on one of the tractors on display at the Big Show, it may actually be identical.  It's inside one of the big barns.  I meant to get pictures when I was there yesterday, but I didn't.  If anybody gets a photo or two, I'm sure we'd appreciate it.

 

It actually looks safer in person, at least to me, because when you're standing next to it there's some really obvious things you should and shouldn't do.

That's it Craig, thanks for the pic! :thumbs:

 

Looks like a different design, but same basic idea as what 12 hp Kohler posted originally.

I know this is of and about Wheel Horses first and foremost, so I will go  :text-offtopic:  but David Bradley had a larger blade that which worked on their two wheel walking tractors for cutting off brush and small saplings at ground level.  IIRC that brush blade could be rotated up ninety degrees and used as a saw mill also.  I always though the kick-back from the brush and saplings could be quite dangerous.  I would rather think for myself and take responsibility for my own actions rather than let the government do it for me.  Unfortunately most of the safety driven items are straight out of the courtrooms and  :auto-ambulance:  liability attorneys offices.

I saw the sawmill  tractor at the Big Show even with the protective cover on the blade it looked too dangerous. My grandparents had some similar that ran off a power take off from an old farm tractor. My dad would not let us any where near the blade when it was not running. We were sent inside when he and my uncles were cutting slabs into stove wood.

      These belts have been hanging in my garage since last used I believe there off a 754 I used to have. Bought them new and didn't use much.
      Don't know why I took them off. Some fraying on top in a few places from use, also don't know why but selling as is and photo'd. 20.00 shipped if you can use them.
      PM for PayPal info or questions. 16" ID approx.

      Okay friends husband and I brought home another mutilated mutation that I felt sorry for and wanted to fix….  Questions will it run??  Lol… what model for sure?  So I believe it’s an 854 and would like feed back to confirm..  lots of stuff coming off… has the k181s tag on the engine!  Two piece gas tank!  So if my friends on here would agree or disagree I would be able to see how much I have been learning over the years!

      Hello y'all,
       
      I hope everyone is staying safe and staying healthy. If not, i pray that you or whoever is afflicted be healed soon. 
       
      I hope to learn a lot from the forums and hopefully can use some of you young whipper snappers for your brains (ideas, how to's and such). Lol. Btw i am only 30, much respect for the older generation(s)!
       
      For me, well... If i would have found this 5-6 years ago, i would have said I am new to Wheel Horse. That is about the time my dad bought the 312-8 (that i now own). That purchase and talking to my dad about implements/attachments that i could purchase is what got me so interested in wheel horse. 
       
      Like i mentioned, i started with a 312-8. When i purchased from my dad, it came with a mower pan and a snowblower (wrong model tho). Wisconsin winters were brutal and a regular snowblower was taking me 2+ hours to clear the driveway. Thats when i bought my B-100, included in that deal was a mower pan and a plow. Boy... that B-100 has plowed a lot of snow. I love it. 
       
      I had also bought 2 lack luster tillers at some auctions. Well, that made me look for a tiller attachment. Found one relatively close and went to go look. $200 later, i had a tiller loaded into my truck and i had asked if he had the tillers mount for the rear axle. He said he wasnt sure, but he has a wheel horse sitting in the back. Told me to go look. 
       
      I look over this 854, and there is no rear mount. Just as im getting up, he asks if i want the tractor. I said i only got the $200 i gave you. He said free of charge. And thats how i gained my 854. (854s hood is in my shop)
       
      I want to start restoring my wheel horses, pretty paint, new decals, clean them up. I am proud of what i own. 
       
      And now im looking at getting a D200 with FEL and a backhoe. Its a sketch time to buy but i could use the tractor for house and cabin work. 
       
      Pics are attached. Please ignore the messes. They aint the prettiest tractors, but they all run.
