Hello again all!
Well, to make a long story just a little shorter, my soon to be father in law owns 40 acres of woods and camping and hunting ground just 2 miles away from my house out in the country. He is going to be building a cabin there and was interested in getting a sawmill to saw up some hardwood logs he has to use for finishing interior and such.
After a little searching I found a sawmill a few hours away, or rather he found my wanted add. The price was more than right so we picked it up last weekend, along with a detroit 2-53 power unit (at the time we thought it was a 2-71).
Brought it back to the shop and started working on it, and that's when things got weird.
This sawmill is from late 40's early 50's (to my knowledge) and it works and moves and is free as though it was brand new. The dogs even slide laterally with little effort. there was only one small little ratchet piece that needed a little squirt of oil. and thats it. The cable that runs the carriage is not frayed one bit (though it could have very well been replaced). I was almost disappointed, I thought I was going to have to work on this thing!
I have reservations about whether the 2-53 will be enough power for it, but we already have it so we'll give it a shot.
