Just found your channel love the old bottles, didn't see any recent videos. New SUB.

Please get a bastard file and sharpen those teeth

Yells at the TV "the log is pushing the blade over binding it"! Something's not right with the carriage or the log setup. Oh , and crank that DB up! ;-)

Green you are, those old David browns have a hand clutch for the power take off. It is on the left and you pull it up. Dead tree meets dull old blade, when you pull the lever to slide the log the back dog is supposed to be connected with a rod to the front one abd both move. Same if you have a three dog table.

And speed it up

Put new blade in the rust is holding it back

You can have the old sawmill , as long as I get the old Thunderbird lol

You can film as good as I can sing.

A couple gallons of burnt motor oil liberally slathered over the chains and track and anything that moves would benefit things. Also take a small angle grinder and a wire brush and brush that blade till it shines. A few more horse power from a diesel tractor some new teeth and it will do fine.

Thank you for sharing this.

Its not a sin to not know something if you dont know just ask someone will know

1200 rpms

I think your blades need urgent dental suggère.

Very nice setup, just needs fine-tuning, best of luck with it!

I like these two videos of yours, no matter what many others write, the point is to get the Machine working in its found state. It's easy to buy a new saw, but the charm is to be able to work with the existing one. Haug. Greetings..

Seems way under powered. I think 50hp woud work much better.

I found a house in the forest, and I lived there happily ever after 😊

Yes, the tractor needs to be higher. Lots of work to do!

sharpen them teeth

Whats your rpm?

Try editing your video to five minutes. More people will watch it. And turn off your microphone

That was totally miss aligned, as in the carrage was not in line with the blade , or maybe the blade is blunt and ground "not square", it totally cut towards the operator, your damm lucky the teeth on the blade didnt catch the machine and have a dangerous situation on your hands. The blade needs to be dropped off at your local Saw Doctor and check if it needs a hammer then properly sharpened, actually the teeth looked to me as replaceable tips.

And it would help if yhe pto shaft is not so much in an angle build up the tractor some ,like a lot

Blades dull not enough rpms and oil yhe track wheels or put new bearing ones in,i saw the the whole carriage and frame move not good ,sawing with a dull blade will cause many problems

Water is cheap dry log

Teeth need Sharpening Bad. Teeth are worn more on one side causing the blade to walk out the side. Hopefully you didn't just warp the blade.

Oh thats junk!

Blade appears to be shot.

If you could put a idler pulley between the tractor and the mill that would stop the belt from bouncing / walking off just a idea

Definitely the track needs to be greased its dry or gear oil and the saw is working to harder because it rusty if you take sand paper and sand most of the rust off you will see a big difference and the teeth may need sharpen

Also if you add boards boxing in saw at bottom you won't get sawdust fly out.wish we could post pictures in these reply because I could add some pictures of simple things that really help and speed operation up

On our mill there was belt tightened on every belt that had load applied..this was simply a pulley on armed that was attached to shaft one each side of that belt pulley.as load was applied the pulley that was tightened would take up the slack.the main drive belt would drop almost 12 inches right near engine which had about a 14 in pulley that one was attached to wall it was simply a couple of angle iron pieces with bearing blocks for the 12 in pulley and a cast iron weight at about 30 pounds forced the pulley down on 12 in wide flat belt.without this tighteners the be would slip under load .the blade and idler pulley act as flywheel.abd as load is added the rpm changes that is what makes the belt loose or tight..sorry for long explanation..in short add idler pulley with strong spring pulling it tight against belt..this should stop slippage..third generation mill wright here

To run a mill like that with tractor , you need atleast 70 HP. Especially sawing hardwoods like oak or hickory . And not hydraulic p.t.o. need clutch style P.t.o. the hydraulic drive , will slow down and after while , pump gets hot and break down . Or get a diesel power unit . If use pto , need bigger tractor .

Flop

New teeth set speed up correctly it needs adjusting or someone will get hurt

You need to clear out the junk around your feet. When you trip, That ‘dull’ blade will cut your head right where your hat fits. This has happened already. You need a 4x4 safety bar to prevent you from falling into the blade. Furthermore, this mill was junk when it was new, so don’t plan on sawing much. Hobby fun maybe.

It looks like the second blade was missing the inserts... not sure what they are called but they replace the teeth so you don't have to buy a new blade

Let off on the tension

It’s a death trap waiting to happen, best way to make money-logs with that is to scrap it and spend the money on a chainsaw mill 🤣🤣

Wow killer bottle digs man!NEW SUB! Great history there!

They sure didn't think about safety back then

You think rust on the blade is the problem??? SHARPEN THE BLADE!!🤨

The blade is blunt you fools 🤣

I am sure the teeth on the blade were not sharp but why would you try cutting a hard dried out dead log?

So just finding abandoned sawmills in the woods is a thing now?

More oil please!

You fellows need to learn something about a circular mill before you kill someone.

Well done awesome finds

IF YOU WOULD HAVE FINISHED THE LUBE JOB THIS MAY HAVE WORKED, AN DITCH DAVID BROWN!

4-71 on my bigger mill. Smaller mill getting 2-71 detroit. 4-71 is around 160 hp. 2-71 60-80 depending on what injectors. Detroits work good on mill cause less bob in governor. So keeps blade speed more consistent
