Cedar Log Being Milled on a Foley-Belsaw A-14 Circular Sawmill 2

The Foley-Belsaw A-14 sawmill is finally running well. The blade is a 48" inserted tooth blade we got at an auction. This mill originally came with only two headblocks, but a third was added from a parts carriage. The heavier dogs were also custom made to replace the original ones.
The tractor is an early 50's Oliver 88.
To see Tractorman44 in action, check out this video and see his cordwood saw: • Kubota and a Cordwood saw

    Excellent setup mister and great job! Thank you very much for a window into how its done. Thumbs way up for the upload! It was common to see similar setups like this when i was a youngster. Most folks ran a belt off the rear end of a truck with no bed on it, some with tractors pto as in this video some with committed diesel engines and water wheels. This is how we built our house and anything else including bridges. No Lowes or Home Depot hehe

    Gerald-My uncle in Missouri used to have a modified steel wheel he would put on his pickup to run the belt from the right rear position. He didn't want to tie up his Massey-Ferguson just to run the mill.

    Tim Green I just found your comment today, and even though I was the one who shot the video, I never noticed him do that. I was always focused on the lumber pile at the end. You're correct though, stepping over the spinning shaft is inexcusable, even if it's not actively powered. I'm surprised he did it. Having grown up on a farm, he has more than one PTO story to tell. As I say, safety is a personal choice. That was his choice, and I'm thankful nothing came of it.

    I don't really know. This is just a hobby for us, but I'd suppose there is someone who'd be able to answer that. A brief internet search gave me answers all over the map. Best I could tell is that this log would be about $100-$150. Most everyone has a band saw mill nowadays, so the yield will be a couple of boards better than what we get. That's not a great answer, but it's the best I can do.

    Yes, it's red cedar, but it's in Missouri. Seems that there are a lot of states that like to put their name in front of "red cedar", including us. We do sharpen and swage our own saws with a file and a swaging tool. Not too hard with a little bit of practice. Thanks!
