- Simplicity 2 Wheel Tractor Running a Brush & Log Saw.
Here's something you don't see every day -
This is a 1953 model V with the 20" brush & log saw configured to cut cordwood. Power is provided by a Briggs & Stratton model 14 rated at 5HP.
If OSHA and the OPEI got together & combined their worst nightmares, this rig would be it!
Stay safe & stop back my friends!

Yeah 4X4, a vintage American-made saw that is still doing the job. Looks like it was moving right along without much of an effort!
😊
That Briggs model 14 pulls the saw well! I've also had it on another tractor with a Briggs 19D and it did even better.
Thanks for stopping by my friend!
That is bad to the bone Brother 🇺🇸
It works like a champ.
Thanks for checking it out buddy... it sure chews up that wood!
Dang dude I loved this. That sucker works like new! Great video
Thanks for checking it out, Calvin!
I remember you dragging that home.... Happy to see it in action!!!!!
It's been a while... that was an all-day road trip. I learned that day that while I love my little Tacoma... I do not love spending 10+hrs behind the wheel of it LOL. After all this time this is only the 3rd time I've used the saw, the 1st time it was on a different tractor & I only cut a few pieces of wood. Then the day before I made this I was trying to make a video of it and blew the belt after just a couple pieces. 3rd time was the charm, I cut a bucket load, then went after more. Now I'm wishing I didn't buck up all that wood from the storm we had in May!
Thanks for stopping by, Steve!
That is a find there wish I had one!! Have to keep looking
Thanks for checking it out bud, it sure does work well!
Very Cool!
Thank you for checking it out my friend!
Still works like clockwork
I think the carb could use a cleaning, but then again the fuel in it wasn't nearly fresh.
I'm sure happy with how it did. Thanks for checking it out, Lloyd!
It's always a joy to watch those old Simplicty's run. Reminds me of being a kid and walking behind one for hours at a time.
Thank you for checking it out, Terry! I bet those are good memories, although I know it could be rough at the time. These 2 wheelers really give the operator a workout doing some tasks.
I would make for a hell of a table saw. :)
Wouldn't ya know... there was actually a table saw made for these tractors... I've only seen pictures of it but I would sure love to find one!
Very cool rig Danny. I don't think I have ever seen one quite like that before.
Thank you, George! I know there's no other videos on CZcams of a Simplicity saw running... and not too many pictures of them show up with a Google search. I'd venture a guess this is because decades ago as chain saws became more popular small buzz saws like this were likely sent for scrap.
I must say, thats pretty cool!!
Thanks Scott! I love it, now I'm kicking myself for taking so long to get it out & cut with it.
I've only seen a handful of those rigs. Nice set up with the saw. Works like a champ, and dropping it right in the bucket? Haha, that's livin man! Cheers buddy!
It does very good on this tractor, and pulls even better on my larger Simp VB. Heck yeah, right in the bucket! Drive away, dump it, come back & fill it again!
Thanks much Pat, take it easy bud!
Pretty cool. Back then they didn't care that much about safety.
The folks at OSHA & the OPEI would faint if someone tried to market something like this today LOL
This was really interesting. Love ol'd equipment and tools. Found you via Bill's channel. Nice to meet you. And man that thing is slick. Efficient. 👍
Mr. Goudy is one helluva guy for sure, any friend of his is a friend of mine. Nice to meet you as well!
@@oldchevy4x4 Agreed. I've known Bill for at least 3 years probably 4. We've swapped mailed packages in the past. Great guy.
Danny this is now a great vintage machine, like and appreciate every moment, so good to see the old stuff working, thanks for sharing that old piece of equipment,
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Jan! These old machines are disappearing to the scrap yard, I am proud to have this one out & running. I have something else I'm working on in the shop now... hopefully a video of it before too long ;-)
Very cool. My buddy had about 4 of the tractors at one point. He had lots of the attachments but I don't remember him having the log saw. Thanks for sharing this I love old machinery like this.
Thanks for stoppin' by, Billy!
I have 3 complete Simplicity 2 wheelers, and 3 more that are basket cases. Mowers, turning plows, snow blades etc. are fairly common & easy enough to find... the saws are a different story. There's a couple other attachments that are even harder to find these days. The hunt is part of the fun!
Take it easy my friend.
Way cool! Was just thinking today about getting my boys out This motivated me lol.
I was hoping you'd stop by for this one! I won't lie, it's been a long summer & I haven't been doing anything with the old machines... getting this out was just what I needed to do. This coming weekend I'll be working on my 1951 M-1. I think it will do pretty good behind a sickle mower.
Hope to see some vids of that!
Those old machines are really neat to see in action It would make a heck of a table saw...Same comment as buzzsah said
Thanks for checking it out, Jim! There was actually a table saw made to belt up to these old Simplicity tractors. That's something I'd really like to stumble upon!
Been a while since I've seen one.
Definitely not an 'every day' item... Thanks for checking it out!
I used to have a rig just like that....Strangest thing though, ever since when I order 4 beers, the girl brings 2.......
🤣👍
Nice rig bud. I rad a bit bigger one off the pulley belt on a farmall and man it was powerful at cutting firewood too. How did we ever survive without safety labels and guards 🤣🤣
It sure makes ya wonder how humans ever made it to the day that the safety police started labeling everything! LOL Thanks for checking it out, Steve!
The operator had to be smarter than the equipment, pretty simple for sure
@@frankdeegan8974 Yessir, a little common sense & respect for the machine goes a long way! It seems common sense is much less common today than it was 50+ years ago.
Very cool, Dan, good to see some equipment content! That is a really cool attachment. Boy, you'd really need to know at ALL times where you are working around that blade and be careful with your footing... no guards!
Between the blade & the open belt there is little room for error! You might have noticed I had the tractor's drive belt off while using the saw... I sure didn't want it jumping into gear for any reason!
Very cool. I believe I have a model V or a model VA, I'm not entirely sure about the difference, and unfortunately mine was sold by montgomery ward and its serial tag has worn to the point that it is barely legible.
Thanks for checking this out!
Does your tractor have a kick-stand on it? From what I've seen the model V did Not have a kick stand, and the VA Did. Other than that it looks like the only difference is the year of manufacture.
@@oldchevy4x4 it does not have one. The cultivator hitch is a 4 or 5 inch long tube between 2 crossmembers behind the axle at the base of the handlebars, not sure if yours has the same style hitch.
@@WH32R Yes mine has the same style hitch.
Never used my buzz saw. Probably should just sell it.
You should definitely sell it. Are you close to Tennessee? LoL
@@oldchevy4x4 I live in MI. My aunt is actually going to Tennessee tomorrow.
Looks like she’s loaded with safety features. Did you count your fingers when you finished? Take care Dan
I sure did... and not only did I still have everything I started with, nothing was wrapped up in electrical tape either! LOL
Thanks, Scott
Wish I could find one like that, every time I look always WAY to large!! I need a smaller unit I can mount a small diesel engine to it.
I've been keeping an eye open for this attachment for years, they don't pop up every day. Like you said, every time something shows up it's always twice this size. Thanks for checking it out!
