My dad had an old belsaw mill. Got tired of running it off our old case. When saw slowed, the 4 ft blade would change shape and not cut straight. He wired in 2 large 3 phase motors to fix his problem.

Try ebay for digital tacks. I purchased one for my mower on ebay. Yes made in China. It lasted 4 hours before it screwed up. After writing many emails to seller, I contacted Pay-pal. They got me a full refund. So, if you find a seller, try getting one based in the US and use pay-pal.

I have an old mechanical tach that you connect to the shaft and it tells me the RPM's.

My IH C and most old tractors have a 540 RPM pto. My tach confirms the 540 RPM's. Jubilee will spin a tick faster.

So, if you want 600 RPM on the mill, do the math, the pulley on the mill will need to be a smaller diameter.

My dad found the flat belt will slip a little when under heavy load and the tractor speed will be less too.

If I recall, dad put a pulley that would use 4 v-belts and 2 went to each motor. After that conversion, it saved him fuel and gave him a good cut. His mill was set up next the the big saw dust pile, next to his shop where he got the electricity from.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
