Louden Senior Hay Fork Carrier — Continued 



Showing Swinging Fork Pulley 



Loads can be dragged over beams or other obstructions 



without endangering carrier. 



The Track Wheels are 3 inches in diameter 

 on tread, are heavy and of great strength. They 

 are not roller bearing, as it takes very little power 

 to pull the carrier along the track compared with 

 the power necessary to hoist the load. Too great 

 an ease of propelment would be a disadvantage 

 through the tendency of the carrier to "run away" 

 when leaving the trip block. 



With the Louden Senior Track Carrier the 

 barn can be filled clear to the track. There is 

 no danger of breaking any part of the carrier, as 

 the load can swing back directly behind carrier 

 when necessary. This feature of the Swinging 

 Fork Pulley also makes it easy to pull large fork- 

 fuls through small doors and over high beams 

 without danger of breakage. 



The round top of the Fork Pulley and the 

 wide flaring mouth of the carrier is a big advan- 

 tage in busy hay time. The wagon can be unloaded 



from any angle, not having to stand directly under the carrier, and the Fork Pulley will always register 

 true. This feature, together with our patented rope swivel, which lets the kinks and twists run out of 

 the rope while forkful is being hoisted, saves a world of time that is worth many dollars in haytime. 



The rope swivel on this carrier is built into the carrier and is a big improvement over any rope swivel 

 before offered. You simply pass the end of the rope through the swivel and tie a knot in the rope. 



With a good, solid knot in the end of the rope, everything is sure to hold, and the swivel works free, 

 permitting the twist to run out of the rope. 



The Locking Dog has a new, distinctive feature, in that it is pivoted by means of a bolt. The Locking 

 Dog may be easily taken out of the carrier without disturbing any of the other parts. 



The Rope Wheel in the Fork pulley is 7 inches in diameter. The outer pulley casing is extra strong as 

 it has four ribbed spokes and the outer circumference has two heavy ribs running parallel with each other. 

 These, together with the cross ribs, make an exceedingly strong frame. 



The carrier is built for use with any 

 size of rope 5:j-inch to 1 inch. We rec- 

 ommend a 3^ -inch manilla rope as it is 

 easier to handle, and costs less than a 

 larger rope. Some users prefer. ^|, }&, |f , 

 or I inch rope, and where a large rope 

 is preferred the new carrier handles it 

 perfectly. 



Fig. 7 is an end view of the upper frame of 

 all the Louden Swivel Carriers, showing the 

 great strength. The sides carrying the wheels 

 are joined together by two end pieces A. These 

 end pieces have upwardly extending arms (as 

 seen in cut) , which are secured to the sides above 

 while a bolt holds them together at the bottom, 

 thus making the strongest possible frame, and 

 at the same time saving space, as all the space 

 taken up below the track is the thickness of the 

 end pieces A. 



The wheel arms are thoroughly braced and 

 will never spread with a heavy load and let 

 the carrier off the track.
