I need some pics

[lyle niemi]

I was hoping that some of you fine folks could post some pics of power unit drives for the old head saw mills for me. It would sure give me alot of ideas for when I set up my indepent power unit for the mill. Thanx in advance

No picks, but a lot of those mills have been run by Detroit 371, 471 & 671 here in PA.

   I'm afraid I don't have any pics for you either. Both of my mills are powered by tractors and flat belts, but the next time I go to work on one of my customers mills I will take my camera with me.

Lyle,it pretty much depends on how long your "V" belts are.Large long "V" belts are expensive and you need a few of them.What belts do you have on the combine,they were designed for that engines HP.I have six "C" section belts from my engine to arbor never a hint of slip.I made an adjuster to relieve belt strain on the arbor shaft,its a pillow block bearing on the arbor with a large threaded rod into pipe thats fastened to the engine near the pulley.Theirs an adjusting nut that helps tension the belts.
