Nice Larry. I pulled my sawmill a little while with an Oliver 88. Strong smooth machine.
I also had an Oliver HG crawler for a while.

Larry. Mine was a wide track and had no fenders. I bought it for my Christmas present about 1988. Wife put a bow on the muffler.
I took some hydraulics off a junk combine and built a blade for it. I was a fun little machine. The little Hercules engine was not much power, but it was fun moving dirt around with it. It had a belt pulley on the back.
The clutch went bad in it and when I opened it up, it was the same as an 8N clutch. put one in and kept on going.
Wish I had kept it.

Larry, I put mine to work pushing a little snow when my tractor had a flat. Started right up! That's the tracks left on a hard driveway imagine what a nice wet lawn would look like!

Richard, My neighbor still saws with this old beast! 318 Detroit out of a wore out 72 KW cabover. He just rebuilt the husking bed I think that's what he called it.

I don't recognize the make of that mill.
The husk frame is the part that has the shaft, bearings, feed works and saw blade mounted on it.
I rebuilt mine when I bought in 1987.

Richard, Yes that's what he rebuilt. I think he said Ireland mill. I know of a few more guy's that have their own circular mills as well as a few more with bandsaw portable mills. My wide front 77 used to power my buddy's PTO circular mill. My free cow stall barn was cut with an old mill powered by the carcass of the Brockway truck that I rode in as a teenager. My brother drove and rode for a month on the road. We hauled all the way to the docks in Louisiana and I had a good time but trucking cross country was not for me! Ilost part of the freestall to heavy snow but the rest is still standing that I rebuilt in 1994. Picture 1 is from the book to Wet to plow about the demise of dairy farms in N.Y.S. in the late 1980's.

Richard, another picture from Catskill Life magazine. The pole barn was 50x104 ft and my first major building project. Rough cut boards were only used for the siding.
