There are 2 Keck-Gonermann sawmills in our area my brother-in law owns and runs one. We set it up with a 15" truck tire against the belt pulley for the sawmill. It works great and is a slip point if something goes tight, which can be adjusted by more or less air in the tire. We simply used a 1.5" shaft between two pillow blocks and coupled it with a sliding PTO shaft. This we run off of 540 pto with a 4020 or an 806. The other sawmill owned by a neighbor uses a 13" wheel set up in the same manner. He uses the 1000 RPM PTO and a 4020. The comment by the other guys about the cup and blade being hammered is on the mark. It is something to watch a pro (usually an older experienced sawyer) hammer a saw blade. Constant speed is important and it is amazing to watch the blade "true up" when it hits the log.
