Antique Drag Saw [Restoration] - Part 2: Will It Run?

4 жыл бұрынPart 1: • Antique Drag Saw [Rest...
In this restoration I tackle the largest project I have done to date! This is a 1920-1930s drag or log saw made by the Ottawa Mfg. Co. of Ottawa, Kansas, USA. This is a TE model with a 5HP 4-stroke engine on it. The saw mimics the sawing action of two people using a non-powered crosscut saw. The saw blade itself is 5ft long.
I have not dealt with 4-stroke engines very often in my restoration history, so it was a lot of fun learning along the way.
The tool itself shows signs of many repairs over its ~100 years, including a lot of brazing due to large frost cracks and completely broken castings in other places. The wooden base is rotting away and is cracked in many places. The magneto does not produce spark and the piston is stuck as well!
In this video I tackle the repair of the wooden base as well as reassemble everything for testing. I decided to only paint certain parts and to leave the new wooden base rustic looking to match the rest of the saw. I plan on bringing the saw to antique engine shows, so I thought that making it look "old" would be the right choice.
This project was entirely funded by patrons so I want to keep this tool and show it off when I can as a way to remember everyone's contributions.
I would like to thank Evapo-Rust for sponsoring this video.

later in the news: "A local man was seen today with a contraption that can only be described as "Satans Saw" After 4 hours of devastation to the surrounding forest, officers were able to get close enough to converse with the man. He simply yelled "The stop button has fallen off!" more on this story at 10. But first, Nutella. Delicious grease or simply a sandwich filler?"

I pulled my knees up, tucked my fingers into opposing armpits and turned slightly to the side. My stomach turned into a knot like sympathy pains when you watch a man get kneed in the groin. Why does this machine exist? It's ungodly. He was cutting on the slowest speed, how big of a log could there possibly be to justify running it at full speed? No. Make it stop.

Yes this is a monster of a saw machine. No mercy. If it was never made we wouldn't have learned from it and evolved to better and safer saw machines. For me it looks like a mixed steam engine and an early diesel engine. Surprisingly it runs on petrol (gas)

It was made before the word "Safety" was introduced into the dictionary. Instead of an on/switch, it has a killing/not killing switch. 😄 When my Great-grandpa died we found a generator from the 1930's in the back of his shed. It looks similar to this machine but without the death attachment. With all the noise and motion it made, it only produced enough electricity for one shop light. 😄

I love the sound of a hit-and-miss engine at low RPM. The flywheel will keep the engine spinning and it will only fire when the RPM gets too low so it can go several strokes without firing. The sound you were hearing when it sounded like it was dying is normal for this type of engine. The governor will hold open the exhaust valve and stop the engine from firing when at operating RPM. The intake valve is actuated by suction in the cylinder so when the exhaust valve is open the intake valve is not able to pull in air and fuel. Once the rpm drops enough the ignition and exhaust valve reengage just long enough to get the flywheel back up to speed and then shut off again. These engines can idle at a really low RPM's. Great restoration as always.
