from the trivia I can find, belt take off tractors started 1923 Sears open in 1925 the last belt drives on tractors in 1959.

they were also known as Cord saws. or belt buzz saws
Sears Buzz Saw 700-141 this is forum April 2020. you want ask around at that site for more info.
also some showed he made a blade guard for it

my best guess is 1925 to 1945 when the three point hitch became common in the US.
also most of what found are similar model 700-141. next model out.
there are some the had nice looking blade guards.
