My son's F-I-L has had this setting in his back yard for the last couple of years. I asked him if he was planning on getting it back in working order or just letting it ruin. His reply was one of these days, maybe. I then asked him if he would be interested in selling it. His reply was no, but if I wanted to take it and play around with it, I could have it. Needless to say, I couldn't get it loaded fast enough. It has a 9 hp Honda motor on it, which I have removed to get it in running order. I put some gas in it and pulled the rope a couple of times and it fired up but it needs tuning up and carb. rebuild kit. There are no indication as to brand on it so I have no idea who made it. A guy at work said it looks like a Norwood, but he wasn't sure. Since it needed a new blade anyway, I broke the blade and laid it out flat to measure the length of it. It is 143 1/2 in. long and 1 1/4 in wide and 1 tooth per inch. The rails appear to be in good condition and other than some minor surface rust on the saw frame everything looks OK. Not sure if all the parts are on it or not. It doesn't look like it has anything on it to hold the logs in place, which I assume it should.
I would appreciate any help and advice on getting this up and running and being a newbie i'm sure there is a lot to learn.
It may be more work than it's worth, but the price, FREE, was just too good to pass up.
I have been a long time woodworker and turner who has been interested in milling my own lumber and wood. When the chance came up to obtain a mill I just couldn't let it go by.
