Louden Junior Hay Fork Carrier — Fig. 430 



Illustration shows our 

 patent End Stop for Lou- 

 den Double Bead Steel 

 Track. Two are furnished 

 with the Junior Carrier. 



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. 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 strong- 

 est 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. This is a distinc- 

 tive Louden feature. 



The wheel arms are thoroughly 

 braced and will never spread with a 

 heavy load and let the carrier off the 

 track.

The Louden Junior is the most popular and the biggest selling 

 hay fork carrier. Its construction is simple and compact. More of 

 these carriers are in use in the barns of the country than any other 

 hay carrier made. For twenty years it has been standard and doing 

 its work safely and surely on thousands of farms. 



This 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 "Louden swivel" carrier and where hay is 

 unloaded from a center driveway it is quickly reversed. The pulley 

 through which draft rope works in the end of the barn is changed 

 from one end to the other. The carrier can then be swiveled around 

 by giving a swinging pull on the draft rope. No climbing up to the 

 carrier necessary. In long barns where hay is unloaded at both ends 

 the carrier can be changed from one end to the other without changing 

 a rope or pulley. 



The carrier has the wide flaring mouth and the round topped fork 

 pulley that have made all Louden Carriers popular with hay growers. 

 The fork pulley never fails to enter the carrier at the proper time. 

 It is not necessary that the wagon should be directly under the carrier. 

 The wide flaring mouth receives the round fork pulley no matter from 

 what angle the fork is drawn and regardless of swinging load or 

 twisting ropes. No failure, no backing up of the team to make the 

 second trial.
