T HE Nelson Tractor is the nearest approach to 100 per cent efficiency 
ever attained in a tractor. In official tests it has consistently developed 
82.6 per cent efficiency at the drawbar, a performance never before equalled 
or even remotely approached by any other tractor. 
It has the sturdy construction, weight, power and flexibility to satisfactorily 
handle any kind of farm or commercial tractor work under most adverse conditions. 
A New Type of Chain Drive — every other link adjustable and with a tensile 
strength of 70,000 pounds — provides maximum power and flexibility. 
Anti-Friction Thrust Bearings prevent disastrous effects of side draft and thrust 
of differential gears. 
Open Faced Wheels Prevent Soil Packing and Assure Maximum Traction. Rear 
and front axles full floating with heavy duty anti-friction bearings, interchangeable 
from one part to another. All working parts enclosed and run in oil. Minimum 
axle clearance 15% inches—body clearance 19 inches, making cultivating practicable. 
A Twenty-Inch Maximum Wheel Tilt combined with four-wheel steer makes easy 
work of rough, rocky going. Low Center of Gravity, with equal distribution of 
weight, leaves no possibility of Tractor tipping over. 
Powerful Four-Cylinder Wisconsin Engine, with gear-driven fan and double-core 
radiator, assures the most efficient service with the minimum operating cost. 
The Nelson Tractor has been thoroughly tested. It has worked in the swamps 
of the South, on the rocky hills and mountains of New England, and on the hot, 
sandy plains of Arizona. 
Mud, Snow, Stumps, Rocks, or Hills Won’t Stall the Nelson, for it is built to with¬ 
stand great shocks and a 200 per cent overload. An all-year-round tractor that will 
make your farm more efficient and save you time and money. Write for prices, 
booklet and name of nearest dealer. 
We wish to secure at once a few big distributors to handle 
a large proposition. We have desirable territory open for 
dealers who are known and respected for square dealing 
and who will be in a position to give to the purchaser of a 
Nelson Tractor, full 100% service which we are advertising 
and which under our contract we guarantee to give and 
pay for. INVES TIG A TE—A CT PROMPTL Y
