| Hello all.....looking at a U40 power unit...looking to operate a Frick 01 sawmill with it on a limited basis...was wondering if anyone had horsepower specs for this old hammer...I was told it ran a sawmill many years ago but when the current owner bought the mill he repowered it with something else and the old AC was put in the shed....thanks...Kevin |

Don't know how big that AC unit is but. We ran a four headblock, 20 foot carraige,60 inch blade Frick #1 with a 800 cubic inch Minniapolis Moline engine. Power was never a problem. That should give you a benchmark. Most Fricks around here were powered by Molines as Frick was also a Moline distributor. ------------- Learning AC...slowly |
