How many Farmalls do you have?

My dad used a buzzsaw but without guards on a JD-B. The closest we were allowed to get to it while buzzing was more than 20 feet away.

When little, we only used fuel oil to keep the house above freezing. All degrees above that were from wood. Every fall, we would take the JD B into the woods and cut up dead elm trees. By dad would use a chain saw to cut the tree and then he'd run the longer branches thru the buzz saw. After the wood was cut and littered on the ground, us kids would go around and toss wood chunks into the wagon. Preference was log diameters that didn't require splitting since elm split poorly not to mention too much work since we didn't have a hydraulic log splitter - only an axe and wedges.
