I have seen actual real life setups just like that, where an old tractor ran a sawmill via a belt. Ptetty cool stuff.After the drive belt I'm gonna try and find these miniature saw mill machines, be awesome to run them via belt from the flywheel haha![]()
And back in the day, machine shops used to have a central drive running through the shop with belts going to each machine. I ran some old belt drive vertical lathes that had been converted to a motor driven belt system, but they still used the old canvas belts.
