Louden Hoisting Singletree — Fig. 344 



Specifications 



For use wherever hoisting is to be done 



with a horse. 

 Body of hard wood. 

 Trimminge of malleable iron. 

 Weight. 6 pounds. 



The Louden Hoisting Singletree was designed for use 

 anywhere that hoisting is to be done with a horse or 



team when the Singletree has no support. It is especially popular and desirable 

 for use with the hay unloading rig at hay time. It is equally valuable for any 

 kind of hoisting with horse power, plowing or cutting ice, plowing in orchards, 

 vineyards or other places when the ends of the singletree is liable to injure the 

 trees or vines. 



The Singletree does not drag against the horse's legs, and the traces do not unhook or get under 

 the horse's feet in backing or turning. The traces pass through keepers (K) and along back of smgletree 

 to hook in center. The Singletree being bent, this brings it close to the horse, like a breeching, without 

 having to shorten the traces and it is held up by a cord (C). having a snap (S), which hooks into the trace 

 carrier iron. The eye to which the draft rope is fastened is swiveled. which keeps it from kmking. 



The Singletree saves much time. The horse can be turned short around and there is no chance for 

 the horse to get over the traces. Also the rope is held up off the ground so the horse cannot step on it. 



Louden's Spreader Attachment— Fig. 345 



Fig. 345 shows our Spreader Attachment by which two 

 Singletrees can be hitched together for use with a team. For 

 ordinary hoisting purposes, we use a rope with a spreader and 

 attach the hoisting rope to it, as shown by enlarged figure in 

 center. For other work a chain may be used. There is no other 

 rig equal to this for four or six horse teaming, as it does not 

 strike the horses' legs and causes no weight whatever on the 

 necks of the team behind. To attach Singletrees remove the 

 hooks from ends of Spreader, hook on Singletree and replace 

 hooks and bolts. Weight, 5 pounds.

 Made of malleable iron. 

 Hinged together with heavy bolt. 

 Weight (one hinge only). 2 pounds. 



Weight full set fittings for gable door 

 (2 hinges. 2 hooks and staples, 2 small

The Louden Offset Hinge was 

 designed for use on the gable hay 

 doors on barns. The hinge is 

 made with an offset to allow the 

 door to lap on the siding to shut 

 out wind and rain. It is made of malleable iron and is 

 very strong. Two hinges are sufficient for all ordinary doors. 

 For extremely large, heavy doors three hinges should be used. 

 The hinge is made wide to insure a solid bearing on the door 

 and to give plenty of room for bolts and screws. 



The gable hay door hung with our Offset Hinges, as shown 

 in Fig. 347 is practical, cheap and easy to make. The door 

 can be opened and closed with the hay carrier. This can be 

 done from the ground either by hand or with a horse.
