Our antique engine club has been invited to bring some tractors and engines out to a Lions Club picnic/fundraiser to benefit a local camp for handicapped children. (South Bend, IN area). I was talking to the organizer and he asked me if I knew where he could obtain some belt-driven equipment like a Baker fan, shingle mill, buzz saw, or other stuff that the tractor exhibitors could belt their tractors up to and demonstrate them -- they thought it would be more entertaining that just watching them sit. Any thoughts? Does anybody have anything like this close to Northern Indiana that they might loan this event? If anyone is interested I can connect you with the event organizer to discuss liability, insurance, etc. Forgive me for posting this on the Farmall board but I thought we would get more discussion than by just putting it in the classifieds.

I have a belt driven buzz saw. Wouldn't dream of running it in front of a crowd of spectators. As long as the operator stays clear of blade, and stays out of the line of the blade itself, it is fairly safe to run. The danger of having a crowd around is that if the blade shatters, chunks of it will fly all different directions in-line with the blade travel. I would sure hate to see a spectator being in the wrong place at the wrong time and end up with a chunk of saw blade stuck in there head if the blade happened to shatter. You might want to restrict your belt pulley demonstration's to safer stuff, such as starting a stationary engine with a tractor by use of the drive belt. The crowd gets an idea of how the belt pulley works that way, and there is virtually no danger.
