slim67 2,735 #2 Posted October 3, 2020 Looks like a beautiful day and great show. I missed not be able to go to the show near me this May. The power saw is awesome stuff. Thanks for the pics. Makes me feel like I was there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slim67 2,735 #3 Posted October 3, 2020 To comment on the last photo of the tweels, I wanted to add that they work really well on zero turns. My employer demoed a John Deere zero turn and I was amazed how well it hugged the hills. Very expensive at the time to buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were a lot of H & M engines powering the standard mills and pumps, and rotary firewood saws. This was the first reciprocating saw I have seen. First I have seen these all plastic wheels....I believe this was on a Wright Zero turn. I did wonder how much the height of cut was affected by the change in the bottom spoke bending due to changes in torque and weight change on slopes.

8ntruck 7,080 #5 Posted October 3, 2020 The hit n miss powered saw is very cool. Bet it was fun to see it run. One of the last things I did before retiring was to work up a tooling quote for the steel centers used in those non-pneumatic wheels. I don't know if the company got the business or not.

One to release the blade and to catch it when it cut through. The other guy engaged and disengaged the recip from the H & M engine. There was also a chain binder strapping the log to the saw frame that required some time and manpower to reposition the log. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if its enough to matter or not. They surprisingly went well through water logged sod near a catch basin. On the subject of antique power shows. I happened to go past the location where the May show mentioned earlier was having antique farm tractor pulls. Stopped for about 1/2 hour to check out some tractors and talk to some drivers. Thanks again for sharing pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great weather for a change. I lot of interesting Hit & Miss engines with a good display of implements. The Wheel Horse was represented well with the @ericj and Charlie Culley herds. BTY, thanks Eric for the help getting my rig hooked up last night. Also a shout out to @SPINJIM. I did see you on Friday Jim. Sorry I didn't get to say Hi. I kept one eye looking for @roadapples. I certainly understand your reluctance to attend a show Jay. As you can see, social distancing was not the greatest. Hope you are feeling fell.

I didn't stay long because no one was wearing masks, and I can't afford to take a chance. Sorry we didn't get a chance to chat. Looking forward to next year and better circumstances.
