Abandoned pto sawmill working again with Detroit 3-71 diesel.

Ойын-сауық

We found an old Utilizer 3 point hitch sawmill designed to run on tractor pto. It was in a field grown over with weeds and vines, and in pieces. We managed to find the owner who said he was willing to part with it. After a few weeks of tinkering around with it we have it running again. We made it a stationary diesel powered mill.
Part 2 is out now, with better cameras and much less shaking • Abandoned Sawmill Part...

    Interesting machine, almost looks like a combination between a traditional Frick mill and a bench rack system. Might consider a poly carbonate shield between the blade/operator but you would have to design something that wouldn't encumber the operator. Met 2 different guys that have been hurt on them, one by flying shrapnel. Best Regards

    They can be dangerous for sure. Standing off center of the blade greatly reduces the risk of flying bits.

    Really nice set up! very impressed by how you have it so it flows no edging on main saw takes lots of time to do, what runs the carriage hydraulics or cable or where does power unit set

  • @zuleamen

    Hydraulic carriage. If you look on at the bottom of the sawmill on the ground there is a wooden box that runs along the floor. That wooden box covers the drive line that is running to the power unit. When you operate the mill you are standing between the mill, and the power unit.

    Like your setup brother. Can't believe someone abandoned that baby. I'm in the process of reviving and upgrading my old belsaw. Installing a hydraulic motor to run the carriage spool. Belts aren't smooooth. Is that an excavator in the background? Have a 750jd myself.
