OK. Just bought my first tractor. Early model WD45 with loader and both snow and dirt bucket w/forks. Also bought my first farm??? 9 acres in NW WI near Superior WI w/o any buildings. Well is in. Retired 4/16/04. Have cut my own lumber (5K BF) to build the homestead. Also bought the buzz saw to cut some more lumber I need some type of engine to power the buzz saw. I don't want to use the WD45 to power the buzz saw 'cause I would have to disconnect to move logs. My thoughts are to buy a 2nd WD-45 and install a side pully. I would then be able to interchange parts. OTOH setting up a permanent mounted engine might be less expensive. I am 64.5 yoa and have wanted to farm in some way all my life. I will be building "Green" and "Off the Grid." I plan to have 2-3 horses, a truck farm or greenhouse and bees. Also my hobby is building fine furniture. Is this too big a bite to undertake?

I'd use a tractor to power the saw and not a fixed power unit. You can do other things with a tractor that you can't do with a fixed unit. Things like pulling one tractor out of the mud with the other when you get stuck. It's really not much problem at all to use the belt pully to power a saw mill. Once you get it in position, you'll know exactly where it goes so taking it off the saw and putting it back on is no big deal. I'd sure try doing that a few times before I put money into something else to drive the saw.

You could use a power unit like AC, JD, IH made years ago. A common AC was the same engine as in the B, C, tractors. They also built larger units like in the WC and WD45, D14 tractors. Usually come with a shaft or pulley, along with the clutch.
