Central Va. GTG 2013

Two words Dave.......gear reduction. :msp_thumbup:

You beat me to it.

We have already been thru that idea , can get a 671 , but been advised that a unit would turn the mill to fast and since it is set up for a tractor , would not be a good idea:bang:

dave:biggrin:

That would probably be easy to fix with the correct pulley size as the tractor might turn at 540 rpm. You would need to under size the diesel pulley if direct drive or you could use the hydraulic motor to drive.

Ernie would like a 371 power unit , do u know where one is?:biggrin:

 

[sawmandave]

Not only that but a GM 2 stroke diesel is a machine that turns diesel fuel into noise.

That is what ole ernesto wants , strait pipe thru the roof is the only way :fart:

It looks like it was a beautiful day, and a fabulous venue for such a GTG.

me and the wifey made a few pictures and videos, just observing..
i know next time to leave a day earlier, spend the night, get some sleep..
i mapquested, and figured the map thingy was full of #### at at 4hrs. 32min drive.................wronggggggg !!!!
i was a bit concerned about the trailor i had behind me making it without loosing a tire cause i did'nt have a spare...... and thereda been no way in hell to transfer the milling machine i brought for randy (mastermind) into the back of my suburban, which was kinda full of saws, and parts for the mill..
so after what turned into being on the road for close to six hours with a few stops, once we got there i really did'nt even feel like picking up a saw..
i did get to see..
old saws, new saws, 2 man saws, slow saws, really fast saws, and some saws that just make ya think-----why'd he bring that ??????
there were plenty of other saw "nuts" running just abouit everything you could immagine...
got to spend some good time with some really fine folks...
now the wife knows for sure that i'm not the only saw "nut" around !!!!! and i'm not even that bigofa "nut".......

My first GTG my wife was like "Why would anyone go?"
After the next one she was "Where are the rest?"
Its not how big a nut you are to them, its that you are a nut. And it takes one to know one.

LOL, don't forget the uncanny ability to start and run backwards.....or the tendency they have to "run-away". I Was near a 4-53 that ran away......YIKES!!!!!! The operator hit the fuel cut-off, and she kept building rpm, it was actually running on it's own crankcase oil. Luckily it had a "guillotine" style air cutoff. But, when they are right....there is no sweeter sound, than a Detroit 2stroke, at full song....IMO.

Barbee Cox has a 3-71 on his mill at Field Day. Don't know if he would be interested in parting with it or not.
