- Опубліковано 25 гру 2021
- Welcome back to the HOT ROD Frontier Sawmill! We doubled the HP on our Frontier OS23 Portable Sawmill. The project took more time to build! Parts and the engine were hard to get. I bought the last 13.5HP engine in one hundred miles of our home. I was so happy the engine was in stock at Northern Tools

Tony I just had to watch it again you work so smooth.
I switched my TK 1220 from command Pro 15 to the 22hp predictor what a beast! I cut mostly oak and American Elm. Cedar like butter already melted
May the Lord bless U 2
Thank you. God bless
Power horse is what runs my generator. Seems to be a good one. Getting close to getting it back on the Mill. Thanks Iowa is watching
We are getting close. We are looking at 5 days of rain here. I am ordering gravel for the road back to the sawmill. Going to be a mess.
SHE SAID YOU ARE NOT ORGANIZED, HAVE A MESS AND THEN SHE CAN BE THE SOLUTION!!! PUT HER TO WORK!!! USE EVERY BODY'S TALENT TO THE MAX!!!! GREAT JOB CHANGING THE ENGINE OUT!!!!
Thank you! I love that woman.
From my previous line of work: "Shine she may, Run she must." It runs like a champ. Well done brother.
Thank you. We shall see!
👍👍👍👍 sawhoggen time !!!
Motor, Engine, some people just can't take a joke. LMBO. Have a blessed day, Tony.
Most people poke fun at me, and that is OK. A few people go overboard calling me dumb hick, and stupid. I deleted those comments. They are not part of our community. They are passing by, looking to feel superior for a few seconds. I feel sorry for those people. A very few posts are downright mean. I just block them.
I’m stoked and if I could cut a circle, freehand, with a plasma cutter, I’d brag about it.
AMEN, my friend. They talk about me, they're leaving someone else alone
That is a great way to look at it.
Best way to get something seized off is heat it up as red as you can and then add cold water do that up to 3 times ,works every time. I use a plumbers torch with the yellow tank
Thank you. I appreciate your advice.
Nice Hot Rod Tony. As for the hole, I used to work industrial instrumentation and controls maintenance in chemical plants. I had a boss man that used to tell us "if you can't make it work, make it pretty". Enough said.
I look forward to running it through the pace over the next few weeks. We are on to something.
It's nice to be at a place where I have internet where I can watch videos. So I'm catching up on Tony's Tractor Adventures
Catch up my friend.
Good job, brother.
I have it right now. It will throw sawdust!
I'd give ya a hundred percent on the project so far Tony. I'm impressed with your resourcefulness. But I gotta admit....I actually laughed just an instant before the Missus let out her cackle when the chair hung on your backside !! LOL. I ordered my OS27 with the 13.5 hp electric start upgrade from the start. I think you'll like the increase for sure.
Thank you. Today, I would buy the OS31. I didn't understand how much I would use the sawmill.
Fantastic Tony. The 0S 23 now stands for “ On Steroids 23”. I too went with an after market clutch that can handle up to 15 hp. I’ve had my new engine for my 23 for quite some time. You have motivated me to get er done. Can’t wait to see it in action.
Don, I have cut through my first log, and the engine doesn't even slow down. We were cutting Black Cherry.
@@TonysTractorAdventure That’s great news. Trevor at Norwood told me about a year ago that the O23 would cut like a dream with an upgraded clutch and engine. Guess he was right. Can’t wait to do mine. Thanks for taking the time with the videos so all of us can see the correct way to upgrade our mills.
Awesome video. You know you doing good when you have tools everywhere lol. God bless
Thank you and God Bless
Looking good. More power is always better. Congrats on hitting that 50K mark. Have a great day, and God Bless
Thank you. We are looking forward to getting back to work.
Nice replacement of the motor!! Yes, Im from the South also. Have a Safe Day
Thank you. Motor on my friend.
Fantastic Job! I would have been so worried about that crankshaft being higher than the original. Looks like you did your research!
I have done a good bit of fabrication before, but it is a bit scary when I start putting it back together. In the grand scheme, this not that far out there. I am thinking about building my own sawmill.
I have 7 hp on my sawmill. I thought about doing the same thing you’re doing. I’m interested in seeing how it goes! Thanks for the info Tony!
Kevin, Let me make all the mistakes. We are running it through the pace over the next few months. I should be able to order different types of blades now. I will have the power to pull through a 4 or 7 degree. Several people make those blades in our length.
You have a good helper.
Tanja is the brains of the operation! I am kind of like that old stubborn mule on the farm. 😜
Great Job! I have had a lot of the Chinese engines of that design on generators. All were great. One thing I noticed is I would always run the engine 1 hour and dump the oil. In all of them I had milling glitter of metal come out of the first oil change. I always wanted to clean that out of the engine as quick as I could.
Sound like a good idea. This engine should have an easy life. Thank you.
Nice upgrade!
We shall see! We shall see.
I have that Powerhorse engine on my log splitter. Its a beast. You definitely need the electric start, especially in cold weather....unless you're Thor or Superman.
That is what I thought too. I hit that start button and away we go.
Excellent job, Tony! Love how you take your time with things and take everything in stride! 👍💪
Thank you. We just roll with it!
Can’t wait to see her rip a log , I know you will love the hp upgrade
We are going to go at it the week if the weather holds.
Great job Tony, bring on the logs.
I hope to get started this week. A lot of rain schedule here.
Great video. Be careful about wanting a bigger shop. That means Tanja will want a bigger “she shed”!!!!!
You wouldn't believe the chicken house she wants me to build.
Tony nice upgrade. You may want to think about adding a oil drain tube to the engine to facilitate future oil changes.
That is a good idea. Thank you.
Great video. Can’t wait to see it in action.
I appreciate that. Video coming soon.
I’ve been waiting for a video like this for a long time!!! Hope that Chinese muscle doesn’t twist the chassis 🏎💨💨💨, can’t wait to see it run! We still have pure stock on our mill.
Frontier offers this sawmill with a 10hp engine, so I am not going to a great extreme.
Great job Tony. Your videos are always impressive
Thank you, Mike. I appreciate that.
I had the same idea! Looking at the mills, frontier seems like amazing quality considering it's price camparable Mills. And then just mount a larger. Motor, because I don't need a larger mill. Can't wait to see u mill with the extra power and see how it goes
Video coming out soon. We have so many irons in the fire.
Quite a handsome chap without your cap, Tony. LOL. Bob. NZ.
I got a big old nugget! LOL
Very cool!
If it will ever stop raining, I will get some lumber made up!
Enjoyed the video! Great info! Congrats on the 50,000 subscribers you deserve it!
Thank you. It was neat hit 50k on Christmas.
Very interesting video, keep them coming !!
Thank you. More coming soon.
It sounds good. Glad you able to put the Hot Rod together! lol Looking forward to see how well it does. Happy New Years Tony! See ya!
I am ready to run it through the paces.
Excellent video, have same sawmill cant wait to upgrade also. Thankyou for doing this. I bought some blades from kenne-saw in Cartersville, Ga. I think they are much better and sharper blades. Also a little cheaper than ones from Frontier. Fast service got blades in about 3 days from ordering.
Thank you. My last blades were from Cooks. They seem to do a bit better and at a better price. No, I have the extra HP, I can run 4 or 7 degree blades also. This opens up different possibilities.
Looks great buddy should work just fine thanks for sharing hope you had a merry Christmas
Thank you! We are looking forward to putting it through the paces.
Great job !!!
Thank you! No to see if it really works.
Great Video Tony, Looking good 👍
Hey brother! Thank you we will run it through the paces over the next few weeks.
I like it a man to my own heart
I will be throwing saw dust to the next county
Great video Tony, love the up grade. Im struggling to figure out which way i want to go. Buy the right one first "go in debt" or buy small and upgrade later and "stay out of debt"
I appreciate the Dilemma
Good job! Let's see it work.
Dave
Working on it soon! Thank you.
Tony, You should have slapped a Kukje A1100N2 on there. Yes, on these Chinese engines, run them for a few sessions of 1h each and change oil. Usually on 3rd it comes out with no silver glitter in em, and it will last forever. I just got a Duramax XP12000EH generator with the same engine you didn't get. And that is how I broke it in.
Thank you for the info. My Briggs was the same way. It had tons of oil glitter.
Next year, supercharged LS with nos deck for those stubborn knots! Thanks for posting again you two.
PS I hadn't noticed you passed 50K subs, congratulations on that man!
I though about putting a Turbo on a TYM T25. I has the Yanmar engine in it and it could be tuned up 10 more hp!
@@TonysTractorAdventure Oh yea, Turbocharged TYM T25 . Just go for it,& get-r-done. Tractor time with Tim is supping up a JD 1025 & he has me "glued to my seat" in anticipation.
Mine is still under warranty for 6 years. It would be something.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Tim took a Brand New Rig a JD 1025r @ 25,000.oo$ TLB made the greatest vidios & knowingly VOIDED the warrenty, --- nothing stop Him.
Never under estimate your vocabulary Tony, LoL. I talk exactly the same way. Motor is acceptable for me.
Thank you, Dean. I appreciate that.
Love the upgrade. Wouldn’t the smaller clutch pulley get the speed back up? Or were you going more for torque?
The smaller pulley on the engine slows the blade down and increases the torque on the blade. I may step up one more because I have more torque and hp.
I know you mentioned you were in the Army, were you enlisted or commissioned? Did you retire?
I was enlisted and then Warrant. I retired after almost 30 years.
I'm curious on the clutch I have the same mill and have a 13hp Honda engine (motor 😊) and the shaft height is 1.143" taller my question is which clutch did you use? Was one of them the Hilliard H1P3 with a 3" pully and 1" bore
I get that question a lot. In my haste, I misplace the place I bought it from online and the specs. It will suck if it ever goes out. I will have to research it all over again.
I just replaced the clutch on my OS23. I got the clutch from Frontier. Did your new clutch come from frontier? I would not know what to order from a 3rd party vendor. At some point I would like to upgrade my 7hp engine to the 420cc.
I ordered third-party everything. It took a good bit of research.
Another question Tony. Do you know if you can buy an upgraded 420cc engine direct from Frontier to replace my 7hp engine. Since they sell a version of it, seems it would be possibe.
The bigger engine uses a different band case. The base is the same, but the cases are different.
Did you ever show how you fixed your throttle? I got the duromax 440cc and the throttle seems really tight.
There is a small nut on the throttle linkage. Loosen it just a bit.
@@TonysTractorAdventure thanks. I appreciate it. I got everything done but the throttle. It's a hoss
I'm having a problem with belt wear. I had to loosen the tension as much as possible. My blade is showing a wheel mark on it. Could it be I'm over tensioning the blade? I used a kevlar 5/8x75 from tractor supply.
we saw
It does what is needed.
Hey buddy where did you buy that 3 inch clutch from I’m doing the same thing right now and I like to purchase me a clutch can you help me out
I wish I could tell you. I lost the invoice and I can't remember. I must have searched every online store out there.
OK I appreciate it that’s where I’m at right now I’m at a standstill
I hope mine holds up. It will be a pain to find again.
Where did u get ur clutch do u have info so I can look up the clutch info
I ordered offline. I have lost the information over the build. I can not find the part number.
Do u remember if it was eBay or amazon
It was off a single company on the internet. It was a one-time purchase. I have looked in My email and nothing jogs my memory. I am leaking knowledge as I get older.
What size did u get to fit that right size that will help
I'm pretty sure the 3" is a Hilliard brand model number H1p3 I think it's rated at 13hp though so I'm not sure I have found plenty that are 3" pulley 1" bore but are only rated up to 8hp but the h1p3 is 13hp
You changed engine because the old one was bogging down?
I did. They offered a 10HP, but I went with 7HP. That was on me. It will cut everything it was rated to cut but slowly.
@@TonysTractorAdventure You did a good job of it. WWould have been great had you recognised the need for more HP engine when you bought it. But you fixed it and now everybody knows how to do that too. Great vid.
Less than 4 cylinders is a motor to me and I’m from the north. I sometimes call my 350 a motor 🤣😂 oops.
I hear you! I was so surprised when so many people just could not deal with me saying motor. I have had guys write essays about it. That is a lot of wasted time on their part. I will read paragraph, but we get over a 1000 comments each week. Happy New year.
Nice video but get rid of the music.
