After a day of puting the big MM unit up on a crib of crosties when they fired it up mill would just run thru logs with no let up. People drove for miles to see the MM powred sawmill. This engine was fuled with propane which was also very rare at time in rural Tennessee. You cold run the unit 200 hrs and the engine oil would still be clean looking.
