Where can I find new buzz saw blades for sale??
Mines 30in. Last year I paid $100 to get it sharpened. If they dont cost that, or much more I might as well get a new one.

I've never done it but, you could sharpen yourself... But truth be told, I'd not myself...
Hey you mind posting a picture? I'd like to get one but don't really have a good way to power it. My Grandmother has an old one that I bet I could talk the family into letting me fix up (several uncles like old equipment and trade it). I think they've left this one alone because it needs to stay in the family and not fixed to sell...
but again, I don't have a good way to power it...

Good grief Bill. Where do you find enough help to buzz wood. You need one guy to push the table, and one to offbear. Now you still need enough people to pick up a log and carry it to and through the saw. I started to say guys for that last job, but hearty, corn fed country girls could handle the job if you don't drag up to many big logs with your Farmall. That would be a good place to sort out a proper help-mate. That would weed out the prissy ones. A good wife could sharpen a buzz-saw blade in a whip-stitch. You could buy her a new bastard file for her birthday. Just trying to help...LOL

If I tryed that Will, B______d would be on her lips alright, but not pertaining to a file LOL. I use my CC Case to saw with, as it has higher RPMs than the H. Funny, the H is 14yrs newer. Last year I couldnt pull up a trunk with the H, so I got the neighbor and the Case and we went down and I hitched one tractor to the other, than to the log, and then we walked right out with it. I split it up myself. I kept splitting till I could handle the splits myself. I carried them up to the saw myself, I would lay the split 1/2 way across the saw and make a cut. Then id cut the split part on my left, and when it was done, split the part on the right. I cut with the blade inside the woodshed, so it isnt much of a throw to put it on the pile. Like my last GF said. No big thing.
nc If I could sharpen it myself, Do u think id pay somebody else $100 to do it??

Hey brother, I'd be the same way.... I've just met a few guys that at least SAY they do it themselves....
How much horsepower/rpms does it take to safely use one of those?

Perhaps I should say "effectively"?
I just figure at too load of a speed, it would cut too slow and perhaps go to jamming up and throwing/pulling the wood. I've seen people cut some with one but it's been more for show. I'd imagine it takes some nerve to saw all day with one. And if you loose your balance or attention for a moment.... won't be pretty

My buzz saw was my grandpas wedding gift to my dad. Suppose he thought that with it he would get his wood cut also. He had already bought the CC Case I now have. They used it till round 56. Dad used it with Uncle Milt to around 58 when mom had gas put in. I took it in 69 when I bought my first farm, and have used it every since. Never had an accident. My 10yr old boy used to be the off bearer, so I had to keep a watch on him all the time. My DD and X brought up the wood.

Ours mounted - still does I guess, if I'd ever use it - on the H, so about 25 hp is needed. Could lug down the engine and stall it - well the flat belt would run off - but that's about the limit of what you wanted to feed in a blade anyhow, so I'd say about 25 hp is where you want to be. A tad more wouldn't hurt.
Since I got the Stihl chain saws and retired dad's behmouth McCullith, (that ain't spelled right?) as a one man band I just use the easy start, lightweight chain saws to cut up the wood.

Yeah, I bought a new $180 Poulan this spring. Hope I dont have to buy another. It starts easy too, Well, easier than my last. At least im assured after it all that ital start, but it floods easy if yer not in the right sequence of things, itall flood easy. My Buzz saw runs offa belt, And yes, what u found on your H is what I found on mine, which is why I switched to the older, BIGGER Case. No problem with it. If I bind it, The tractor will just run the belt off of the saw.
