When my Uncles built the sawmill at the farm, they used W115 wiper motors and transmissions to power the adjustments. Power to the saw blade used a hydraulic motor hooked up to one of the tractors.
The motors were readily available, there were multiple W114/W115 wrecks in the hollow serving as parts cars for the ambulatory ones.
