Fired up grandpa's ole Belsaw saw mill this today. Much better than the disater I had earlier this week. You know this old equipment will talk to you if you are willing to listen. When I had tried to cut earlier the saw didn't sound right, feel right, the tractor didn't seem to react right, saw heated, sheeh! The net result was 1 log cut and more scrap than boards. Started working through the set up (broke out the level, square, jack, file, etc.) yesterday and took the twist out of the saw bed. Fired her up today and the saw sang, fed much easier, tractor purred right along the belt ran true. Made some nice boards today. So the big question I have is how old do I have to get before I will listen to the old iron rather than pull out my hair (not much left so I hope I get old enough soon
