They were kind of a staple on just about every farm around back in the day. I converted this one to three point but I have a few others. One I use with a flat belt drive by pinning it to the ground and set the tractor 5 or 6 feet away to power it with the belt pully. That's the way we used the old one on our farm too.
I know the video is a year old but just curious. Have you ever done a video on sharpening the blade on your saw? Thankyou sir for taking the time to make videos and share your wisdom. I'm a new subscriber and look forward to watching them all
Never worry about commenting on an old video...sometimes it brings it forward for others that may not have seen it before as well. Yes as a matter of fact, check out this one:ua-cam.com/video/TZ36Rxpn754/v-deo.html When you watch bear in mind it is also one of my first videos so its not real good as far as editing etc goes. Then here's a bit of a different one using a tool I've had for years but never used before:ua-cam.com/video/06hJGTyCPqM/v-deo.html The second is the most recent, just a month or two ago, but it highlights a Belsaw saw sharpening machine. Thanks Bill for showing an interest and please feel free to comment and ask questions at any time. It may take a bit for me to find them and answer, but I should get to it. Enjoy !!
Thanks Ben. I finally got the video uploaded correctly. I have several more with it in action. Just a matter of getting them on here. I really enjoy running this little Kubota on it instead of the bigger tractors. 16 hp is a plenty !!
Oh I will for sure now that I know the I phone can upload directly to youtube. Ben, I'm sure you caught the similarities between this one in its original design and yours. Just eliminate all the framework for the gearbox and the three point. Its almost identical to yours.
Does the right angle drive come with it or do you already have one for your Massey ? They are hard to find here. I can only remember a handful at farm auctions around here...and I go to a lot of farm auctions. You will love its functionality and speed. Thanks for hanging around Marcus, I appreciate your commenting sir.
I have a whole set of videos converting a Dearborn into a three point set up. Here it is here, but they were my earlier videos and I don't remember how good of a job I did, but here is the playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLk72G9DTzZ1tJEjzkfIvq8dY--UWCpl4-.html You might get an idea where to start on yours.
3 years of wood!!! I'd like to do that! But I don't get enough trees around my house on my small land to do so the same year. I have just enough to supply 15-20 face cord every year with dead trees and fallen limbs. Thanks!
Good evening Joe. That's still a pretty good pile of deadfall you're getting. I saw a lot of what you are splitting and it is impressive to say the least. I have people calling me almost constantly to come get this or that. We just clear cut two lake lots for houses last year. Another farmer had a monster fall into his field and took 6 smaller ones with it. The smaller ones were all 12" - 14" cherry and a 20" black locust. The monster was three massive trees that grew together when tiny. The smallest of the three main branches was over 30" and the other two were almost 36". The widest part of the trunk was over 7' wide and over 48" thick !! I have some pictures but no videos, as it was before I ever thought about youtube. I currently have a good number of red cedar to get for the sawmill as soon as it dries up in the spring...the list goes on. Joe, I haven't cut wood from my own property for over twenty years because it just keeps coming in like that. Thank you Joe for always commenting. I appreciate it sir.
Holy Cow....this is a LATE response even for me !! Two years, and I've not seen your comment. LOL. Thank you sir and please stop in for more buzz saw vids. I've done quite a number since you were here. Thanks for the comment, by the way....LOL
Remember Ray Stevens song 'Sweet Sue'?? The bad guy tied Sweet Sue to a BUZZ saw...!! Gonna saw her in half !! LOL. I don't remember the Stooges skit though. LOL.
This particular one is running approximately 600 rpm. This is totally my opinion and I have not researched the subject. I would think the limiting factors to blade speed are two: 1) the type of bearings. The bearings on these old machines are not designed for extremely high rpm due to heat build up potential. If you have new sealed grease-able ball or roller bearings you can probably turn them at 1,000 rpm or higher providing you have the correct blade. The manufacturer will have that parameter on their site. 2) the type of blade. New carbide tooth blades can sustain the higher rpms attainable with the better ball bearings. These old 60 to 80 year old blades can fracture through vibration caused by excessive speed and open up causing severe injury to the user or machine. These old blades become 'work hardened' over the years and quite frequently fracture a few inches toward the center of the blade from the bottom of the gullet on a tooth. Severe fractures can rapidly widen and spread open to jam in the wood throwing the belt or worse. When that happens, pass them to an artist to paint a farm scene. A quick inspection is recommended before each time it is put to use. Thank you Dewey for your interest....and thanks for the comment and question. Hope this helps...
If you fast forward to 9:26 you will see it being sharpened on a Belsaw sharpening system on this video: ua-cam.com/video/06hJGTyCPqM/v-deo.htmlBut to fully understand you may need to watch the first portion as well. This one as well shows how I learned to lay out teeth to be reshaped from my dad back in the '50's. ua-cam.com/video/TZ36Rxpn754/v-deo.html Feel free to add a comment on one or both of the videos if you'd like.
Please give me more informationa I am from Congo then interessed to know how can we bye such machine wish you the best hear about youb very soon thanks
Old ones like this are easily found in America at farm auctions. I know there are a lot of them across European countries as well. I have no idea if they are available they are in the Congo. They can be powered by many kinds of power units. A tractor is not necessarily needed. There are even companies that still manufacture them in America.www.newhavenpower.com/Woodsman250_Buzz_Saw.html Another place that makes them self contained:www.marwoodsaws.com/enginesaw.html Good luck sir, with purchasing one for your mission.
chris niner a lot of times if it’s fairly warm at bedtime and the fires out, I will bank the furnace and set the kindling on top and let it ignite from the top down. That way it takes a while to get to full burn so it keeps the house from getting too hot too soon. Then there’s usually coals left in the morning. Is that what you’re talking about with the upside down fire ? About the masonry heater I’m not sure. But we do have a 12’000 lb (approx) limestone oven we relocated and rebuilt from the original that my great grandfather built in the 1870 or 1880’s on the old home place. Thanks Chris, for the comment sir.
As a teen I used this type of buzz saw driven by belt from a John Deere model B.
A major source of heat in our home.

Sure is, very neat to see another type of setup. Thanks for sharing. we will make a UA-camr out of you now. 👍
I’m looking at a cordwood saw on auction and it runs on a flat belt. Planning on running it behind our MF135.

I just picked up this same saw and now I was trying to figure out how to adapt it to a 3pt hitch

@@tractorman4461 yes most are made to run at 600 to 650 rpm rim speed. It's the same speed as a sawmill blade runs.
Show us how to sharpen the blade

Ypu burn LOT of wood. Do you know what an upside down fire is? How about a masonary heater?
chris niner a lot of times if it’s fairly warm at bedtime and the fires out, I will bank the furnace and set the kindling on top and let it ignite from the top down. That way it takes a while to get to full burn so it keeps the house from getting too hot too soon. Then there’s usually coals left in the morning.
