you have inspired me to try my belsaw mill again i run mine with an m also but with the pto ,have had some real bad luck with mine hit one of the dog handles and bent a tooth on the saw and that let it tear the hell out of the aluminum guide then the carb went to hell on the m so i shut her down and went back to my bandmill where did you get the blade
Hi I'm Dave Montgomery I have my Grandfather's mill Belsaw A-14. I want to put the M-14 Drive in. Thanks to you. I have a 42inch blade for it. I have 2000 teeth for it. And a saw sharpener. I have a couple of questions? What RPM on the shaft for the blade. How big are the pulleys on the Hurst? And thank you for the two speed drive. How big are the pulleys ? And how much RPM? I have a 140hp GM for it. But I think I need a governor. I'm asking for help. Please help?
The blade rpm will be marked just outside the hub, if it is an old blade probably will around 600 for a 42". The pulley sizes in the husk are four 8" pulleys one ten inch pulley and a 6" pulley and yes you should not try running the mill without a governor.
No idea what year, they were tagged but not serial numbered but it does have the old style track and I don't know what year they changed to the angle iron track.
She’s a sawin and the ole M is hummin.
Nice work!
Nice to see the old girl is running again. Good job 🎅🏻
Really like watching that old equipment run.
That saw is mesmerizing. Could watch all day.
Nice log.
These are nice saws for one person as you don’t have to walk around a husk and engine. Thanks for the video
Will need to stop by and see that go. Looks like it is cutting pretty darn nice!!
Much better with the new blade
Nice job on your upgrades! And the tomatoes.
Best operating Belsaw I'v seen, nary a thing wrong with that saw. Seems the "M" pulls the saw better than the Deere A.
There is definitely a difference doesn't seem to be lacking power like the a.

I found the blade at the antique engine show at Dublin NH. a couple of years ago for 200 dollars
Handiest tool I have is a two foot cant hook. A larger diameter pulley on your fast feed would help alot.
first thank you for taking the time to film.... have you put one of the optical tachometer on the mandrel / blade
I like that interesting trailer wheel log turner. That would be a good silent helper. Did the drum board scale come with this saw?
The board scale is homemade, there is a video on the build but i don't know what # it is
@@survivingmaineona20acrefar77 Thanks, I'll look for it. The flimsy scale that came with the saw is not impressive.
@@jgoogleheim8880 Not at all, I fought with mine for years before giving up on it. The drum type is worth the work to build.
Good job, good idea on the second feed speed……what rpm is the saw?…mine is pto and too slow….thanx for sharing
Blade is hammered for 580 I try to keep it at 600 while not in the cut
Hard to beat a well benched round saw
This is the first good blade that I have had on the mill and I like it

I have a couple of questions?
What RPM on the shaft for the blade.
How big are the pulleys on the Hurst?
And thank you for the two speed drive.

Have you considered building a hydraulic husk, the ones I've seen have a very smooth and even feed rate.
i prefer mechanical
What year is your Belsaw from? The M that you have on the sawmill is much better! Grandpa had a super MTA on his mill
No idea what year, they were tagged but not serial numbered but it does have the old style track and I don't know what year they changed to the angle iron track.
Hello. What size of flat belt pulley is on your mill and the M?
I think it is 6.5 wide but would need to measure to be sure.
