In the past 4x4 Wood Tracks for hay 

 carriers were installed in a considerable 

 number of barns. This was when wood 

 was cheap and steel high in price. At the 

 present time a wood hay track is rarely 

 placed in a building. The steel tracks are 

 as cheap as wood, they occupy less room 

 and hay carriers work so much easier and 

 smoother on the steel that it is a mistake 

 to put wood track in a building. 



Where track is already in the building 

 or where for some special reason it is de- 

 sired to use a Wood Track, no better carrier 

 can be put into service than the Louden 

 Junior Wood Track Carrier. 



This carrier is built exactly like the 

 Louden Junior Fork Carrier for steel track 

 (Fig. 430, page 8). except it is built to 

 operate on a 4x4 wood track instead of 

 on steel track. 



The carrier is suitable for use in any 

 style of barn. Where hay is taken up at 

 the end of building it works easily and 

 smoothly as a One- Way Carrier. It is a 

 Swivel Frame Carrier and in barns having a 

 center driveway it is easily and quickly re- 

 versed to work on either side. 



The carrier has the wide flaring mouth 

 and the round top fork pulley of all Louden 

 carriers. The fork pulley never fails to 

 enter the carrier at the proper time. The 

 wide flaring inouth of the carrier receives 

 the pulley no matter from what angle the 

 fork is drawn and regardless of swinging 

 load or twisting ropes. 



The grappling hooks in the carrier take a deep grip in the frame of the fork pulley. They grip the 

 pulley securely, at the same time permitting the pulley to swing freely. This permits the mow to be filled 

 clear up to the track without danger of breaking the pulley. 



The frame of the carrier is of refined malleable iron built sturdy and strong to handle heavy loads. 

 The members are clamped securely together with bolts; there is no possibility of the frame spreading or 

 breaking under the strain of heavy loads.
