1936 Buick powered sawmill? Not mine

[Paul from PA]

 Currently posted on Pittsburgh Craigslist. He is not sure of the year but thought it was 1936. Someone with knowledge can link it to this site. Motor, tranny  radiator and cowl.

Radiator & body looks more like a 29 or 30.

Boy, that would be one torquey and smooth saw mil!!

 

That would make a great, running display engine for a Buick man's  garage, or could be a good source of hard to find parts. I hope it finds a good home.

I have talked to fellows that had saw mills powered by car engines and in fact wrote an article in the Bugle about the use of Buick engines in these mills years ago. The Buick engines worked well because they had great torque, necessary when the tree widened or the blade ran into knots. Other higher revving engines were not as good.
