One of the kind, I especially noted the seller is well versed in power plants as it was stated is is powered by a flat head engine:hmm3grin2orange:
Man, I don't know. It just don't look like the flatheads I remember.
Could someone pleez 'splain to me what a "belt saw" it?
Looks like a mechanics nightmare to me, and I AM a mechanic. I'd have to agree that it's an old Chev/GMC 6 cyl. and as such it will have babbit bearings, which are probably shot.
Could be a nightmare, but could be interesting. I would like to see more pictures at different angles. I am sure glad to hear that some of you guys know what a 216/235 Chevy looks like. Now I don't feel so old, The machine was built out of necessity. Is this a sawmill only or was it used for various tasks. opcorn:
Aggie I had the exact same reaction as soon as I read that. Belt DRIVEN saw maybe... but belt saw?
I'm sure he's refering to the fact it "origionally" was powered with a wide belt to a steamer or ?? .

If you look closely at the mill it is not a bandsaw. The blades are ganged together on a reciprocating assembly. He may be referring to the blades as belts. The pitman arm is missing from the large sprocket assembly on the left. It attaches to the lever arm that is at the top center of the main frame.
