[SEL] Famous buzz saw rig

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Good looking set up Mike.  If you want to test it out I've got some 
woods behind the house that you give it the workout!  As far as I'm 
concerned, you can't beat the IH engines.  I can sit and listen to them 
all day.  Sawing wood with one wouldn't be so bad (I'll let you be the 
"tester" though).
