Hodges' Steel Frame "Single Gear" Header. 



With "Center-Drive" Sickle and "Stop-Draper." 



In 1892, at the urgent request of many dealers, we had built for us fifty of the 

 above machines. These were well scattered throughout the State, in order that we 

 might decide if they were adapted to the requirements of all sections of our territory. 

 We have been more than satisfied with their operation, and have received many let- 

 ters of approval from purchasers who have run them through one harvest. 



No description of the "Center-Drive" Sickle is necessary, as it is well known in 

 California, and very popular. 



The "Stop-Draper" feature of this Header will be appreciated by all those whose 

 lands are not easily harvested, on account of standing trees orother obstructions. This 

 Header overcomes all difficulties, as the Draper is readily stopped, and the grain is 

 held in the spout, without waste or scattering, while the header is being driven around 

 the obstruction. We are the first to supply this need. 



As to construction it is simple, strong and durable, nothing but first-class material 

 entering into its make-up. 



It is, in fact, the "Hodges' Haines Header," so well known on this Coast, but 

 greatly improved by changing the wood frame to a steel one, and by adding many 

 valuable and tried appliances. 



We shall also add new features and make such changes in construction as we find 

 desirable for future trade, and will promise to give purchasers a machine as nearly 

 perfect as it can be made. 



In a nutshell, our good points are as follows : 

 Angle Steel Frame, fully braced ; 

 Four Truss Rods, holding Frame rigid and true; 

 Patent Equalizing Spring, easily controlling height of cut. 

 Center-Drive Sickle, always in order ; 

 Single Gear, the most simple known ; 

 Stop-Draper, the great grain saver ; 

 Light Weight, the lightest Header known.
