New guy here, can ya'll tell me where to get 20" band wheels for my homemade sawmill. I'm using a 20hp. motor off my lawn mower that has .75 axles. thanks ray

 Welcome broncrider. 3/4" seems a little light for axles for bandwheels??? We used Boat trailer axles and wheels/tires. Use 12" wheels and you get 21.5" dia. for the blade.

  You taking pics ??? We LIKE pics on here.  ;D :D :D

  There are LOTS of threads on here regarding homebuilt mills. Do some searching and see what we have accumulated. Good Luck.  ;D

Try WW Graingers, they handle the large Browning Vee belt pulleys. Use the largest pulley that your wallet will handle, 19 inch A belt size  to 26 inch.  Most of your bearing supply houses can order the Browning Products or other makes. If you get off-shore made pulleys, make sure they are balanced and are strong enough to handle the RPM.
