Bought wheels for new build

[ozarkgem]

I see. I could use some of the hydraulic guru's when you are done with them

This will definately be an interesting built to follow.
I like the hydraulically driven bandwheels.  ;D

I am curious about the car engine.
Did you find a good way to mount the hydraulic pump(s) to the engine?
Building or adapting a governor and linkage that will keep consistant speed under a load may be one of the most challanging parts of this build.

I look forward to watching this project unfold.

more than likely you can order a mech gov that will just bolt on if its got a carb if its fuel injected it can still be done but im not familiar my stuff is to old

There is one thing that I'm not sure of yet, and that is guide wheels.
I cut one v wheel on the lathe to see how hard it would be, fairly easy to do.
But now I'm wondering if I would need a cam follower or something to make sure sawhead can't lift off the track??

Had planned on angle iron welded to top of 2x6 tubing, but I may rethink this if anyone thinks the blade could make the head rise off the track?? Or would the weight of sawhead hold it down??

I had the head of my mill tip over when it was running,  it was caused by a broken lift cable.  It was dangerous and probably damaged a couple hundred dollars worth of parts.  I would recommend something wrapped around the beam to keep the head from being able to tip.

Probably a short driveshaft from crank to pumps, one off front and rear. Ill just make an adapter to bolt to flywheel and crank pully.
As far as governor, a cruise control should work.

I have the band wheels now, they are browning brand, so if anyone looking for some they are on clearence at grainger, get them before they are gone! 3x610 part #.
