International Reaper Thresher 



[Cutting a 9-foot swath the International Reaper-Thresher will easily 

 rfeap, thresh and clean 15 to 20 acres per day according to the nature 

 of the ground and the thickness of the crop. When fitted with a 

 3-foot extension, supplied on special order, the cutting capacity of the 

 International Reaper-Thresher is increased to 12 feet. 



The threshing capacity is large enough to take in the greatest quantities 

 of straw without in any way affecting the cleaning efficiency of the outfit. 

 The formation of the reaping and threshing mechanism is such that the 

 dirtiest crops can be handled without choking either in the reaping 

 mechanism or in the cleaning portion of the machine. Each sieve has a 

 cleaning surface of well over 1500 square inches, which combined with 

 an original method of spreading the grain evenly over the top riddle 

 ensures absolute and perfect cleaning. 



Undersized and broken grain and weed seed are removed from the 

 full-sized grain by a grader. The small grain and weed seed are 

 delivered into a special compartment to be afterwards emptied into a 

 separate bag. 



The grain box is large so that stoppages to bag are infrequent even 

 in the heaviest crops. 



Special grain lifting fingers enable down and tangled crops to be 

 harvested that would otherwise be lost. 



The straw racks are unusually efficient. The straw is given a thorough 

 tossing, being thrown upward, forward and sideways. Even when the 

 layer of straw is thick, tangled and crowded up to the deck, there is 

 sufficient agitation to shake even light kernels through to the grain 

 pan below. The arrangement of the straw racks is one of the biggest 

 features on the International Reaper-Thresher. 



The International Reaper-Thresher can be used for stationary wortc by 

 making a few changes. Further particulars on application.
