2 Uncles took a stripped down Model T in the 30's and mounted a wood saw on the back of it.
Went all over the area cutting stove wood for folks.
Would jack up a wheel and had a belt pulley mounted on the end of the axle.
Ran it on kerosene til the valves burned up.

My Family never thought about a front power source !! granpa Frank had a pulley bolted to the rear wheel,my uncles got tired of pulling off the rear wheel to make feed and run the sawmill. that worked for 5 yrs or more til, they got a Fordson tractor and then a WC Allis, Then Granpa bought a 32 Chrysler with a straight 8, that car was gauranteed to go 100 mph.

I fixed an old buzz saw rig for my cousin that was built on a Model T. Drive shaft was cut off and a square shaft adapter put in place, then a flat belt from a pulley to the saw. The T engine was set up and it took a bit to get it running,

Neat old ad.
I wonder if the company made any money off it.
For as simple as it is I would think many would just look at the illustration for ideas then build their own.

I guess they included a governor- and hopefully a water pump! The Model ''T'' had neither. If you used a ''T'' engine for stationary purposes it really put a load on that ''Thermosyphon'' cooling system: The hot water rose in the block, flowed to the radiator, cooled there, dropped to the bottom and was pulled back into the block by the hot water rising to flow to the radiator, over and over- no water pump (theoretically!) needed.
In practice, such a cooling system was stretched to it limits just pulling a light weight car around with large amounts of fresh air flowing through its radiator (there was a belt driven fan to help with that). Placing a stock ''T'' engine under a constant load in a stationary situation usually resulted in a overheated boil-over. Thats the reason why an aftermarket water pump on a Model ''T'' is probably the most common accessory you'll find on one still.
As for a governor, Ford was so cheap, he didnt even put them on his tractors! Again, like a ''T'' with a water pump, it is the most common accessory you'll find on a Fordson.

An old neighbor talked about how hot the model
T engine got in their Theiman sileage chopper. He said he didn't know how that engine could get that hot and still run. Raplacing the two blade fan with a four blade helped but not enough.
