The "Climax" Wheel Scraper. 



It has fewer parts to get out of order, fewer bearings to cause friction, and has 

 greater lever power to raise and dump the load, than other Wheel Scrapers on which 

 great claims have been made. In fact, it can be operated with greater ease to a man 

 and team than any other Scraper on the market. 



The device to prevent the Scraper from dumping while filling is the most effectual 

 of any in use. It does away with the objections of the hooks hanging so near the 

 ground when the Scraper is in a dumped position, and removes the hooks from con- 

 tact with the dirt in filling. 



It does not lose its load in going to the dump. All the parts are made extra strong. 



An ordinary team will handle one containing half a yard of earth with greater ease 

 than it will a common drag scraper holding one-eighth of a yard ; and will make as 

 many trips with one as the other, making an immense saving in the cost of handling 

 earth. 



On hauls of 50 to 600 feet it will move earth so much cheaper than by any other 

 known method, that it is placed beyond comparison with any other machinery or utensils 

 in use. On hauls of from 600 to 1,400 feet, earth can be moved at one-half what it will 

 cost to do it with wagons and shovelers, besides enabling contractors to do work which 

 it would be impossible to get done at times when labor is scarce. 



It fills in any kind of soil in which the Drag Scraper will fill, does not waste, and 

 can be used on enbankments of any height.
