The belts a thresher belt. I had one 1/2 the length thereabouts. When I built the tool shed last spring alongside the woodshed, I thought I had measured so that I could still belt up the saw. Nope. Had to get another belt. Got 2 lengths of 50ft bailer belt already gripped. It would have cost me $10 to have it cut and gripped, makeing the cost $20. I decided heck with that and just laced them together.

Buzz saw running. Made in Hillsboro Kans. Grandad bought it in 1940 as his wedding gift to my dad and mom. The tractor came a few years later. The idea was, If you owned a saw, you could find a neighbor with a tractor to come down and run it.

Saws running. Tractors wide open. Just wanted to show the dangers of doing this when or if you were too old, or it was so cold you needed a couple drinks to warm you up.

Thanks for the pics! Is it just nastalgia or is there a particular reason why you like it better than a chainsaw? Also, how'd you get that white oak split? Did you just use wedges or do you have some sort of contraption? Before I could afford a chainsaw, I split a big white oak log up like that using wedges. Then used a bow saw to cut it up small enough to fit in the stove. It was work, but really demonstrated what one could accomplish with hand tools...

gal. I havnt got any talents at all. Thats why I need so much (stuff). I decided LONG ago that I didnt want to end up retired and still be able to do things, but not have the things to do stuff with and afraid to spend the money by betting on my continuing good health. I got the stuff. Its paid for. If my health goes to health, then I guess it can be sold. SF. Its the fact that I dont know how to work on a chain saw when its worn out. Its also nostalga also. Its also that I know, if I cut that much wood with a chain saw, bending over for every cut, Then picking up the cut pieces and throwing them in a wagon to bring up to the wood shed and throw them in it. Im going to be wore out and down in the back. With the BS, Im bending, straightening, lifting. All nearly within a 20ft radius. The swinging sledges puts muscle in my muscle depleating arms.
