Saw
OK gents I would like to know what this thing is and what it was used for. It has a 29" blade and the bed in the front swings forward into the saw and back to where it is level again. All of the fasteners are four-sided square bolts and nuts. The only thing I can come with was it was used to cut wooden shingles, square up the ends. In the pictures the one with the blue strap is the bed all of the way into the saw, the rest are of it away from the saw. I made a Corp. decision last night over a couple of beers that until I know what I have I wasn't going to use it. That and what LPS said about his friend getting klobbered by a different saw helped a lot too. Thanks Barry. So, I'm going to lag a couple of 4X4s to the bottom and it's going to be yard art for now. Thanks in advance. Mark. :happy1: :happy1:

Re: Saw
The blade does look smaller than the ones used to cut firewood now that I see it better.  When it knocked my friend out he was alone on their acreage.  He woke up and heard his neighbor and yelled until the guy heard him and came over.  Craig said the first thing he said was Oh GOD.   Well Craig couldn't see a thing but wasn't hurting that much yet.  Huge chunk smashed in on his skull.  So they get to the Stillwater hospital and the first nurse that saw him said OH GOD..   lol  They packed him up and sent him to a bigger hospital in the cities and the first person that came out to get him said Oh my GOD.   lol   He said he wished he could have seen himself since everyone was shocked at seeing him.  LOL  He has a good sense of humor over it.  At least he used to.  I need to call him.  Been many years.  He owned a couple of real big tree spades and he still ran the business but now had to hire someone to drive each truck.  I drove one for him nights and weekends.  That is how I met him.

Re: Saw
It's a tractor saw. I think I still have a belt laying around. The H still has the other pulley on it, just below the gas tank.
I've used them before.
Not the most safest thing in the world 🌎
We used it to cut firewood or fence posts.

Re: Saw
By the looks of it lawn art would be a good choice.
Amazing the things people use to do. I suppose that's why life expectancy was so short.

Maybe paint it bright colors, add some Loony Tune Characters?

Re: Saw
At least it has an OSHA approved safety shield on it...:whistling:

Being part of sawing those walnut planks when I was a kid opened my eyes to how dangerous and how much power it took. Made that M Farmall grunt.

Was thinking along those lines recently db, watching guys rolling across the fields in their nice warm combines, harvesting corn with 12 row corn heads. When I was a kid I remember seeing a lot of one-handed farmers. They froze their assets on their open station tractors picking ear corn with one and two row pickers. The husking beds would get plugged full of crap and of course they'd reach in there with the machine running. Good times... :coffee:

Re: Saw
Went to see one of my neighbors several years ago. They were using one of these only it had a sliding table instead of a swinging one.They were in their 80's and were cutting limbs to length for firewood.. Scared me watching them use it. I didn't stick around too long.

Re: Saw
I did find this saw on the internet. It's called a "cordwood saw". It is definitely NOT getting used to cut wood with the rusty fasteners that are currently holding it together. Got all Winter to think about it. Thanks for the comments and information guys. :happy1: :happy1:

Re: Saw
Yeah, it looks dangerous as all get out.  I don't know if that loop of steel that attaches to the log cradle and loops over the blade is supposed to be the handle that you use to pull the log into the blade, but it looks to be a bad place to be holding your hand if a log gets kicked off the cradle.  But then again, I don't know how it is supposed to work.   :scratch:
