I have pretty much taken apart my buss saw, making darn sure that everything checks out OK, just to bee safe. I have taken the blade, and using a wire brush on my angle grinder, I cleaned off all the surface rust on the blade. I removed the PTO driven gear box, and drive pulley assembly, and I'm going to drain, and flush out the old gear oil. Then put new gear oil into it, and reinstall the assembly. I next going to remove the sliding table, and replace the boards on the deck. Clean up and grease the axles, and rollers for the deck, so it will slide nice and easy. I still need to grease up the bearings for the drive shaft for the blade, and the other drive pulley. I have made a new drive belt for the buss saw. For measurements while cutting, I an going to make removable table extenders for cutting into lengths. One for 12" lengths, and one for 16" lengths. For the log side of the blade, I am planning to put groves into the table, one for 12", and one for 16" lengths with the router, for the last cuts. While cutting, I plan to have my bale/grain elevator set up, so that the blocks of wood fall from the saw table, into it, to remove the blocks of wood, and put into a pile. I will use the tractor and loader to carry the 4' logs to the saw, and slide them onto the saw from the bucket. Now that my buss saw is PTO driven, what rpm is recommended to run the tractor at wit a 540 rpm PTO? Your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Bruce.
