THE WALTER A. WOOD 



NEW CENTURY 



BEST CUTTER. BEST TIER. STRONGEST. 



REEL.— Can be set in any position to deal with long, slioit, or tangled crop. 



CUTTING. — Guards are fixed to a heavy piece of Angle Steel. This gives a clean cut by 

 stopping vibration. It also reduces draft and wear by preventing Sections from rubbing heavily 

 on the Leger Plates. It also takes shocks from stones, thus saving the Platform from strain and wear. 



ELEVATING. — Elevator extends in front of the Knife, preventing the straw from bending up 

 and choking it. Straw is carried up evenh in good shape for the Packers to take it to the Knotter. 

 Any length crop can be successfully dealt with, without loss or damage. Roller Bearings lessen draft 

 hy eliminating friction. All Canvases ha\ e adjustable spring tension. 



PACKING. -Three Packers, instead of the usual two, gently press the Straw instead of hitting 

 it as only two must do, so the "New Century" doesn't spoil or lose grain here. Each one works a 

 little ahead of the other, and disappears without )>ulling the straw down. The needle lias all strain 

 taken off it by one of the Packers working just ahead of it, so it cannot get bent or fail to take the 

 twine to the right spot for tying. 



TYING. — Knotter is an improved type, very simple, with \ ery few parts. Is made of \ ery best 

 material, put together with great care, and then tested to prove it faultless, so you can depend on it to 

 see you through every season \Aithout e.Kpensive delays. Wastes no twine. Adjustments to take up 

 natural wear. A si|uare-butted Bundle is made, and you can place the twine where you like on it. 



CONSTRUCTION.— Frame is extra strong, well supported, and trussed to prevent sagging. 

 Extra Higli Driving Wheel gi\'es light draft and ample cutting and tying power. Roller and Ball 

 Bearings wherever necessary or ad\ isable. DriNer's Seat adjustable to take neck weight off horses.
