(quoted from post at 22:07:29 03/03/12) Love it!!Where's the '12'??
ts out in the snow bank now, I was going to try it on the mill but it has a 1000 PTO and I need a 540 to supply the power for it. Hey steve can you reverse the PTO shaft on that 06???
 
You cant.Your stuck with 1000 rpm.All you can do at
this point is replace the whole assembly with a
newer 2speed unit.
 
My father put together a mill about 1950. He first installed a
blower from a threshing machine to handle the sawdust. It had two
problems:
1. bark and slivers would land over the inlet and clog up
2. When the mill was idling (a 1 man and a boy operation) to turn
the log, or put a new log on the carriage, the blower was too slow
to pick up and move sawdust. You learn quickly that green sawdust
is much heavier and sticky than dry sawdust.
He converted to a chain drag such as yours. Solved both problems
- your setup looks very functional.
