I'm starting to appreciate the old lineshaft. Skip the electricity and just spin a shaft?

You're not going to believe this .A guy I worked with once with 10 kids and four teeth was going to belt up an Oliver diesel tractor with about 100 HP to a big drill press so he didn't have a big electric bill .It was only 5 HP single phase .He was a journeyman electrician to make things worse .I was just at a loss for words .

More on the above .Good old Ralph bought the Ollie cheap,bad engine .Bought a Massey diesel,also cheap .Spent two years and ton money to make it work .Way more than a good unit to begin with . :D .

Never thought to use the PTO directly on the drill press?  :D

If you had ever met Ralph you'd have figured it out why he thought like he did .Some people have the ability to take a pile of junk and make something out of it .With Ralph it was a pile of junk and it just ended up being another pile of junk when he gave up on it . :D
