Cool.....


I have video of a drag saw at work...at one of the log shows I've attended.....


Fast? Like watching paint dry..... Neat to watch? Yup!

They are pretty cool. But kind of like owning an antique steam driven car.

Get Mr Silky to make a custom blade for it, and take on the Predator!

My dad told the story of having a drag saw that mounted to the back of a John Deere model B .It drove off a pitman arm attatched to the power take off and recpricated about like a hay mower back and forth .Every so often it would get stuck then the tractor did the dance back and forth .

The old boy said that two stout young farm boys could out saw it with a crosscut ,they just couldn't out last it .

I have one... in about 50 pieces... it was my grandfathers from the 20's or 30's. When I get my truck done it will be one of the projects i have been meaning to get to. I need to make timbers for it too...

That I would be interested in Steve... The one that came with the saw has been sharpened down to dangnear nothin'...

You wanna part with it?

Gary

 

[stehansen]

Yeah, I would part with it. Here are a couple of pictures. I thought it was a handsaw missing a handle and Willie clued me in that it was a drag saw blade.

My Dad had a John Deere B model too Al. He sold it when I was a kid.

We had a B too. I remember asking Dad what the stack next to the muffler was for (air intake) He told me it was for hornets to make a nest in.

Ha reminds me of parking an "A" I have plus a D4 Cat inside of a metal roof shed during winter ,no cans over the stack .


Unkown to me at the time the danged red squirrels thought the stacks were a good place to store nuts . When I fired them up in the spring the nuts bounced off that metal roof like machine gun bullits .

Steve... I will check the mounting pattern tonight to see if it will be close enough to mount up...

How far apart are those holes?

Gary

 

[stehansen]

They are 1/2" holes 6 1/2" apart.
