Old farmer I helped back in the 70's did things the old fashioned way. He used an IH W-4 on a belt to power his buzz saw. To fill silo he had an old table blower that he ran with the W-4 and endless belt. He put sides and a back door on his flat bed wagons and backed up to the blower. He had a head board with cables back to a pipe on the rear of the wagon. Then an small electric gizmo with a shaft that turned the pipe. We stood on the other side of the blower and used potato hooks to help drag the silage into the blower. Its a wonder I still have all my fingers and toes. He quite running his real nice thresher in the mid 60's when his half wit nephew got run through the belt and thrown against the thresher. I remember him telling me that the kid was not breathing when he picked him up, so he shook him hard and got him breathing again. Great memories, but an awful hard way to make a living. He raised 5 kids on a 100 acre farm milking 25 cows. Carried the milk in pails out of the barn into the milk house, even after he had a bulk tank. I bought an old W-4 myself a few years ago for the heck of it. The old guy who owned it had died. But he used a really big pulley to run a front mounted buzz saw with it. The saw was gone by the time I got the tractor.
