HOT ROD Portable Sawmill | Frontier OS23 | Doubled Engine Horse Power

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

    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.
