[AT] Sawing Wood

[Alan Nadeau]

I used to have one that I built on a trailer and powered with a 2 cyl. 
Wisconsin.  That one started great just by pulling on the belt.  One tug on 
the belt, granted it was a pretty hearty "tug" was usually enough.  I think 
it got scrapped when my Uncle, whose farm we used it on, folded up sometime 
in the '90s.
