I recall there sawmills around here run by everything from U-2 to a UD-18 power units, depending on mill size. Most common however seemed to be the -6 and -9, both U and UD flavor.

Power to the mill was taken by belt from a Rockford (or Twin Disc?) PTO on the flywheel end of the engine. However in the case of the UD-18 the power unit was direct connected to a generator, then separate electric motors ran the saw and accessory drives.

For some reason MM power gasoline units were also popular on sawmills around here. And there was at least one each Caterpillar and Detroit 4-71 diesel. The Detroit-powered mill you could hear running several miles away on a still day!

Bob: Oh those Detroit Diesels, if mankind had been intended to listen to those, he would have been born with ear muffs.

Some of those sawmill diesels clocked a lot of hours on the meter. Most of the one's I remember if operating a turn down carriage, 4' saw, edger and trimmer, were looking for a 100 hp minimum.

In nearby towns, there were two cotton gins powered by UD-24's. One in Estill and one on Lake Washington near Glen Allen.

During the time of the letter series tractors, various IHC power units could be used depending on the size of the sawmill. Some sawmills were also operated off the belt pulley with flat belt from various tractors. Power units available during the time were: U-2, U-4, U-6, UD-6, U-9, UD-9, UD-14, UD-18, and UD-24.
