Special Features of James Carriers 



"Long Life" Tubs 



The James Carrier tubs, like the rest of James Equipment, are built to last throughout 

 long years of heavy usage. Although a tub full of wet manure weighs but 650 pounds, 

 the "Big Boy" tubs have been subjected to a test of three times that weight, without 

 breaking or developing any weakness, either in the tubs or the other parts of the carrier 

 outfit. The Combination and the "Chore Boy" carriers are of equal strength in proportion 

 to the loads which they are designed to carry. 



James tubs are so shaped as to be self-cleaning when dumped, there being no corners 

 where litter can collect. Ends of tubs are rounded, higher than the sides, making them 

 neater in appearance and providing more capacity. Also prevents contents of the tub from 

 binding the bail or clogging the latch and thus interfering with the proper dumping. 



Liquid manure is often the last to be loaded, and is apt to settle at the ends; the 

 rounded ends being higher than the sides prevent the liquids from slopping over the ends 

 when you push carrier along the track. This higher rounded end costs much more to build, 

 but it is a feature greatly appreciated by the user, helping to keep hands, clothes and 

 floor clean. 



James tubs for the "Big Boy" carriers are constructed of 1 8-gauge galvanized steel, 

 well riveted, not spot welded, to a framework of galvanized angle iron. 147 rivets are 

 used on the tub. The angle iron at the side edges is 1 J/2 x 1 '/2 x '/g in. and at the ends 

 ^xl %x'/8 in. ; end of tub reinforced with steel plates weighing 4'/2 pounds each, 4'/2 in. 

 wide by J/g in. thick. Rivets are fV in. sherrardized, excepting corner rivets which 

 are '/4 in. 



The heavy angle iron framework, steel plate reinforcing on the ends and the heavy 

 riveting give the James tubs great strength and durability, making the tubs almost inde- 

 structible, and absolutely rigid so that they will not rack. The strength of these tubs, and 

 the superior workmanship put into them, cannot well be described; but can be appreciated 

 only on seeing the tubs themselves. 



Bail 



When the "Big Boy" carrier is dropped to the floor, there is no horizontal bar in the 

 way to interfere with loading. But when the tub is raised, the bail hangers lock in position 

 against the horizontal shaft, forming a complete bail, and giving necessary rigidity to 

 insure the carrier running steadily along the track. 



Thus the bail of the carrier is in place only when a complete bail is needed, and is out of 

 the way while loading the tub. 



The bail hangers are heavy, flat steel bars, t^j x 1 '/2 in- with malleable fittings. Being 

 turned edgeTvise to the tub, the bail hangers will not bend when a sudden jerk of the tub 

 puts strain upon them. In carriers where such hangers are turned flat side to the tub, 

 sudden endwise jerking of the carrier may bend them, interfering with the operation of the 

 latch and trip. 



Dumps Either Side 



Tub can be dumped to either side, according to which side is loaded the heavier. This 

 makes it easier to load the spreader or wagon evenly, and gives greater dumping area. 



The simple latches at each end of the tub are so connected as to lock and unlock 

 simultaneously; latches are protected against clogging with manure. 



Gudgeon 



Gudgeon is of malleable, strongly riveted to the bail hanger. Gudgeon support is 

 riveted through the two thicknesses of galvanized steel — the end of the tub and the steel 

 reinforcing plate — and the rivets will not pull through.
