[SEL] Lineshaft equipment

[Richard Strobel]

Yes Curt, It will definetly be driven with an old engine.  Eco fer now 
should turn it just fine and down the road, the 12hp Witte would surely do 
the job..if we ever get it:-((.
  Yes a mill and planer would be nice.

  Wondering if it was commom practice to put the engine in the middle of the 
lineshaft??  I can see the bene's...but I'd like to put it on one end, next 
to the big door and then drive an approximate 25 footer.

Thanks all for the replies

Rick
