1940's Corley sawmill powered by a 1953 Detroit diesel

[@anthonycoogle8898]

Nothing sounds better than those old Detroits

[@cotontop3]

They do sound good

[@arkansas1336]

My dad had 2 Corley sawmills almost identical to this with a five man crew....last one I ran the edger for him. He average about 8000 bdft/day. I could nearly watch this all day. Thanks for the video!

[@cotontop3]

Very cool!

[@newhampshire-bob1604]

Love the old stuff! No electronics breaking, no plastic parts, just simple!

[@cotontop3]

Exactly!

Used to see a lot of these little mills here. Brings back memories of going with Grandpa to get lumber sawn.

[@jamesfranks545]

Boy that brings back memories. My dad was a logger his entire life and I remember riding to the Mill with him many times and watching them unload and saw logs. That was late sixties when I got big enough to go with him until the late seventies. Back then all the mills here in the Ozarks were circle blade mills just like this one. I'm sure band sawmills were in use at different places across the country but us Hillbillies here in the Arkansas Ozarks didn't even know what they were. I enjoyed this video Tim thanks.

[@cotontop3]

Good stuff 👍🏻👍🏻

Sweet setup, I like his way of working at the stick.

Cool to see some the older history still being used

[@cotontop3]

I do too

[@trevormegson7583]

Amazing that a 73 year old engine is still powering this saw mill operation. wow.

[@cotontop3]

Yes sir 👍🏻

Good morning. Watching while filling out Anhydrous Ammonia training paperwork. That time again. Diesel & Sawdust lol. Appreciate your time spent on this.

[@cotontop3]

Thanks again!

[@regsparkes6507]

Always fascinating to watch logs being processed with this type of mill, even more so than watching a bandsaw mill in operation, but I like both types. Thanks for doing this video Tim, I appreciate the work.

You bet 👍🏻

Good video, thanks for sharing.

[@cotontop3]

Thanks for watching!

[@Perfect5Recurve]

Shame these boys ain't wearin hearing protection. I've got bad tinnitus and I can only imagine how much hearing loss they're experiencing by doing this.

[@Tedinoz]

Too true. Of course they might be using in-ear protection in which case it would be very hard to see.

[@shaneclark207]

With that Detroit even the neighbors should be wearing hearing protection!!!!

No problem

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

I like your mill and hate negative comments. Hopefully this comment is seen as constructive and not negative. There is a lot of "double" video showing the same cut from different cameras. Maybe it would be better to splice each cut in half and use both cameras for a single cut. Would make for a more interesting video. This is a good video otherwise. Please don't take offense. Dave

[@cotontop3]

No matter what you do on KZbin, you are not going to make everyone happy. You for instance, don’t like the way I place to cuts, but on the other hand someone else wants more in it. It doesn’t matter to me, I film and post and thankful to be able to get out and enjoy and do it.

My grandfather had a frick mill ran on a international 6 cylinder that started on gasoline than u turned it to korsine

[@jimdaly5077]

Hi was the blade going backwards, or just appearing that way(like wagon wheels on old cowboy films) 👍🐝🌞

[@josephboley]

Good morning Mr Tim ✌️👍🙏🙏

[@cotontop3]

Good morning!

[@Torsee]

If anyone is really interested in wood mill operations, I’d suggest a KZbin channel called: Real Macoy Super interesting!

I agree 👍🏻

[@northhill9293]

What size and how many teeth are on that blade? I just realized at the end how far apart the teeth are. I'm guessing it might be a B style. 371 does well with it.

[@40yeartrucker25]

If a 671 is 238 HP what is a 371 ?

[@northhill9293]

@@40yeartrucker25 I think probably something just under a 100. Maybe 80-100.

[@ClassXIRoads]

@@40yeartrucker25 I think it is a 371 also not V671,

[@gekkehenk1980]

If a diesel has so much tourge, why does it need to run at such a high RPM? Engine will life way longer then running it like this.

[@cotontop3]

That is a 2 stroke diesel, that is why.
