You can rely upon this binder, absolutely, to withstand the hardest kind of work incident to the harvesting of a sraln 

 jrop. It is built for use with either horses or tractors and is made to give you satisfaction in every respect. Right from its 

 d foundation up through every part of its structure it is built for service, the principle of its design is correct, none of the 

 15^0 materials are skimped and the manufacturing operations are most carefully performed. 



-—f Main frame is trussed like a 'bridire. Seldom in agricultural implement construction do you find a frame which has the 

 strength and rigidity of this one. Lengthwise and crosswise, it is made up of a series of high carbon steel truss-like forms 

 which are so arranged and united that the strength of each one is contributed to and supplemented by that of the others. In- 

 :leed, so substantially is it tied, trussed and reinforced at every supporting point there isn't the least chance of sagging, 

 twisting or any other kind of distortion, and a positive alignment o¥ all bearings is assured. 



Roller and self-aligning' bearings lighten the draft. Special care has been exercised to provide bearings that would in- 

 sure light draft and long life. For both the main and the grain wheels for the cross and crank shafts, and for the rollers 

 lijthat drive the elevators, roller bearings in cages are used. Then, in addition, self-aligning boxes are provided wherever 

 ithey are of advantage, as at the rear of the crank shaft, at the sprocket end of the inner platform roller, etc. Friction is 

 minimized at every bearing point. 



The platform is of good width for handling the different crops and is representative of great strength and rigidity. It 

 lajis reinforced at the under side by angle steel ribs to which it is securely riveted and at the grain wheel end by a trussed 

 construction — one of the strongest forms possible. It is also substantially reinforced where it connects to the main frame. 

 These various reinforcements are further supplemented by a steel T cutter bar which prevents sagging and retains the 

 ieijalignment of the guards.

 CORN BINDER 



Whether your corn is the large firm varieties 

 which stand erect; the supple, spindly kind that 

 often become lodged; or the short growths which 

 are mixed with grassy bottoms, this machine 

 will harvest it to your entire satisfaction. It is 

 of an improved type and has several exclusive 

 features of considerable merit outstanding among 

 which is a wider range of adjustment for ac- 

 commodating all heights and kinds of corn than 

 is found in other machines of its class. 



Built low with stable foundation. No corn 

 binder of greater stability than this one is on 

 the market. 



The largest drive wheel used on a corn binder 

 generates the power. This wheel stands 40 inches 

 in height, has a 9-inch face, and is well lugged. 



Cutting apparatus is simple and' efficient. 

 It consists of only tv/o stationary knives, one on 

 each side, and a single section sliding knife which 

 is driven by a steel pitman.
