[SEL] Galloway Sawing Outfit

[Richard Strobel]

  I was going to just email Curt, but believe it belongs on the List.

  I don't remember if you said you found a sawrig, Curt, but beware of the 
belt tensioner pulley shaft.  We could not press it out and had her up to 
over 10 ton.  I can spin the shaft with a pipe wrench.  We finally drilled 
it out and it appears that the shaft was placed in the mold (sand?) and then 
the casting poured.  This sounds weird and we've never seen this used 
before.  The pulley shaft appears to have had a ridge and the casting 
probably had a groove for this to fit in.

Hope I explained it right
