50's Vintage

The lumber fairy left a gift in my front yard so I thought I'd show the Dwellars how hillbillies deal with such things. This is my Grandfather's 1951 Ford 8N attached to a Dearborn buzz saw of similar vintage operated by a 1950's era Marine. As you can see all the original saftey devices have been left in place. When I was a kid the old guys used to try to out work us. The saw would really be whining so wood could just be jammed into the blade. It was stupid and we got a metric ass-load of work done. Dad and I take it a little easier.




We had an intense storm earlier which knocked out our sat link so I'm hoping I'm not double posting. Lil Pete took another video which showed the blade better but it didn't upload properly. I'll effort that later.
