Does anyone have a diagram or photos to help with setup track and cable pulley system to finish restoring this sawmill. It's a Model 7 Farquhar. Most of the track was rotted and there are insufficient witness marks for accurate setup. Here are pictures of where it is right now. Thank you for any information.

Welcome to the Forestry Forum. 
That looks like a very interesting project.

Can you elaborate more about what you are interested in doing here? From the photo's is seems to be a matter of getting timbers cut to the same size and replace any rotted ones. Maybe not seeing the "rotted" ones that have disappeared. 

There are members here with more experience than me. Hope they chime in with their questions. 

I have been following a youtube channel "Tractor Rescue Ranch" of an interesting fellow in western Wyoming that started with just the steel and very little recognizable wood. His mill is up and running but a different brand. Basics likely close to the same as your Farquhar mill.
