Lane Ranger 11,998 #1 Posted Friday at 03:13 PM This is a new one on me! I have never seen a homemade big saw attachment made like this before! This is being sold with a Wheel Horse 8 hp tractor in southern Indiana. The person who made this saw a need that could be fulfilled with his Wheel Horse! The big saw blade frame looks substantial and appears to have a pulley setup similar to the tiller setup! I had to post this as this is probably second to the chicken feather plucker attachment as the most innovative thing I’ve ever seen on a Wheel Horse! 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,911 #2 Posted Friday at 03:39 PM @Lane Ranger think as long as the related , blade rotational set up is smooth free and easy , it would definitely work , most of the stuff I see , is brutal neglect , COLLECTIVE DRAG , thats the killer , that led me quickly to related " lubrication failure / breakdown ". the commonality of lube failure is like glue , pretty simple fix , you want a lubricant that exceeds, original , PENNY PINCING , set ups . every one of my removable wide bearing side shields , is easily removed , small flat pocket screwdriver / smallest flat putty knife , wipe out , carb clean flush , lucas x tra hd , green chassis grease , 550 deg flash /drop point , polyurea ? anti sling , assures staying with it , every spindle and related pto , mule drive set up , also VERIFIED FUNCTIONAL DETAILING , try/ test / try . issues ? adjust / verify . my pto lever set up is effortless in movement / no belt scream or clutch wear . repetitive problem , shows you the way to change, use this mind set on one eliminated issue , it becomes home base . pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 10,054 #3 Posted Friday at 04:53 PM A good strong WH and premium medical insurance required! Like wooden frame on top. Must have been throwing dust up, hence the guard! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCW 1,508 #5 Posted Friday at 07:22 PM I have worked with a lot of saws over the past 70 odd years and I don’t think I would touch this one. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 8,992 #7 Posted Friday at 10:28 PM (edited) We just had a WhatsApp call with the Finnish exchange student we had during the 2000, 2001 school year. He is now a doctor, his wife is a dentist, and they have 5 kids. They built a house on her dad's farm. During the call, he was wandering around the farm. He showed us the firewood processing machinery. It is a buzz saw very similar to to this one. On the other end of the shaft from the saw blade it has a splitting device. Basically, it is a disc with a splitting edge. His description - "this is the axe, very, very dangerous to use".

Lee1977 7,652 #8 Posted 15 hours ago Typical cut off saw run with a flat belt off older tractot. They were quite common in the thirtys thrue the fiftys here in farm country. Used for smaller logs and slabs that could be lifted on the table. EB could make good use of one with his smaller fire wood. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent tools. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcrage 634 #10 Posted 7 hours ago Reminds me of the setup Grandad had for fire wood and cutting points on oak logs to make fence posts back in the sixties. Powered by a flat belt attached to the drive coming out the side of his Farmall H. I remember him throwing some used motor oil on the side of that blade before cutting. And I remember at my younger age (mid teens) thinking “Geez that is not a safe setup!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
