Sounds like a Lane version of a Belsaw.

The Lane "sawyers favorite" is the name usally given to one of their special headblocks used on setbeam type mills. I think they used to sell what they call a tractor mill which was a light duty mill, that may or may not be powered with a tractor. Frank C.

Mick, I know little of that mill but do know Lane never made any junk, you'll just have to get a look at it. Frank C.
