Have you tried old tractor-engine forums ? Several of these on the 'net.

Adam, is the generator three phase and usable.? If so put the engine in a shed a ways from the mill and run the mill with an electric motor. Its nice to be able to talk to your help and just hear the saw. Frank C.

Hey Frank.  Yes it is 3 phase and usable. I have thought about doing that, but this mill is my father's baby and he is very hard to convince to do this for some reason but thanks for the advice
