Cut a lot of wood on one of those.
After I left home, folks got electric heat.

I have a couple of those and, perhaps, 8-10 blades.

It's designed for an N series Ford.

The blade is worth several times more than he paid for it.

That saw brings back a lot of memories. I built one back in the early 80s. It stands on four legs, all parts were welded, has a roller bearing table with wood table and back stop. It also has a special cage around the blade. The blade only comes off when you remove the steel blade guard. It is PTO driven and ran off my 2600 Ford. Blade speed is 1300 RPM, which cut the best. I spent a lot of time with it in our woodlot. Others wanted me to build them one and I said no since I did not want to get involved with any liability problems.

Ran a Sears version this last weekend
at an event. Cut 1x4 at about 500 rpm.
However we cheated as we had a carbide
tipped blade. Only about 24" in
diameter. Cut through anything we put
in front of it. Ours was driven by a
steam engine.

Have one on my 2N, works great.

RM-MN · Oct 5, 2016

I have the adapter to hook to the PTO to run the belt for one of those. Wonder what it's worth?

tx68 · Oct 5, 2016

I sold it at the Kent Farm Supplies consignment auction.
Dad bought it 20 years ago but we never used it.
We already had another one that we usually used.
The belt pto pulley that sold with it fits a 35 or 135 massey.

Hello larry@stinescorner,

I helped my Dad saw lots of wood with a saw just like that in the late 1950's-mid
1960's...It was on our 1947 model 8N Ford...

Ford PTO pulleys for the no longer common 1 1/8" shaft (as nearly all are) are quite common, rarely used these days, and can be bought for less than $50.00.

I helped my dad long ago too. He made this after measuring a factory one.

Bret4207 · Oct 6, 2016

Got one just like it, only I was clever and took the belt off so it wouldn't get lost and put it "away, somewhere safe". I can't find the darn thing anywhere!!! :lol:

Got another free standing rig that I run with a VAC or Cockshutt 30. Great for pole wood up to 6-8". After that my back likes the chainsaw better. It'll turn a pile of small wood into sticks faster than any chainsaw, and no bending over to cut, just to pick them up and pile them. If I could rig a conveyor to stack it I'd be a real happy guy.

I have a freestanding one I bought
cheap also. I've said it before my dad
had a cutoff saw with a rolling table
in his sawmill. We cut all the slabs
and edgings into firewood lengths. They
went down a chute, up a conveyor into
the back of the 52 Studebaker 2 ton
dump for delivery. The saw was run off
the main power unit so it had plenty of
power. We would stand the slabs on edge
and kind of flop them into the saw,
stand on edge advance, flop into saw
until it was cut up. We would push the rolling table with our hip also, you developed a rhythm. It went much
faster that way. Don't forget dad was
still sawing on the headsaw and you had
to keep up. Three people working was
best.

Kirk-NJ · Oct 9, 2016

I have basically the same one only the early model ferguson. You will need a belt pulley and the piece that attaches to the pulley to hook up to the saw. You will also need some kind of adapter if you are
running 1 3/8" on your tractor to the standard 1 1/8" pulley used on the 9n/8n unless you are lucky enough to find the 1 3/8" pulley.
