NEW JOHN DEERE (MODEL E) MANURE SPREADER 
9 ADVANCED FEATURES 
WHICH INSURE 
EASIER LOADING—EASIER PULLING 
BETTER WORK—LONGER LIFE 
From the all-steel tongue to the wide-spread beater 
which won’t wrap, the new John Deere Model E gives 
you everything you want in a spreader. Nothing 
has been spared in making it a better all-around 
value. A spreader that will give more years of 
profitable service on your farm. 
1. WIDE-SPREAD BEATER: Reduces wrapping, runs easier 
and smoother, and gives a wider and more even spread. 
Box scrapers keep sides clean. 
2. BEATER ON THE AXLE: Permits higher drive wheels 
for easier pulling—a lower box for easier loading— 
makes possible fewer moving parts and sturdier con¬ 
struction. Beaters are close to the ground—winds do 
not cause drifting of manure. 
3. LARGE, FOUR-BAR UPPER BEATER: Reduces wrap¬ 
ping, lightens draft and does a better job of shredding 
manure. 
4. HARDENED STEEL ROLLER CHAIN DRIVE: More than 
twice as strong as ordinary drive chain—does not wear 
out sprockets, lasts longer and runs easier. 
B. HIGH, WIDE-TIRED REAR WHEELS: Give same light- 
draft advantage that a high-wheeled wagon has over a 
low-wheeled wagon. 
6. STRONGER, BETTER BOX: Finest quality wood, 
creosoted and painted to resist manure acids and the 
weather. Well braced to stand up under years of heavy 
service. Stands heavy twisting strains without bending 
out of shape. 
7. FRONT END RIDES ON CUSHION SPRINGS: Springs 
absorb field and road shocks—add to comfort of driver 
and life to spreader. 
8. NEW, EASY. SHORT TURN: Easy to handle in sheds 
and field lots. 
9. STEEL POLE AND EVENERS: Will not break— 
eliminate costly replacements.

THE NEW IDEA MANURE SPREADER (Model 8) 
The Model 8 NEW IDEA Spreader is the latest development of the 
original “wide-spreading” spreader, which was invented by the founde- 
of the New Idea Spreader Company. 
Steel—The steel used in the frame of the Model 8 is of the same quality 
as that used for car rails. New Idea steel is specially rolled and is still 
stronger, finer in grain, tougher in fibre and more induring. Government 
tests show that it is nearly three times as strong as the structural steel 
generally used for farm machines. 
The shields, distributor blades and other flat metal parts are of copper 
bearing steel, resistant to rust and the acids of manure, and will wear 
longer and are more durable than the ordinary sheet steel generally used. 
Wood—The bed of the Model 8 is built of the very finest grade of yellow 
pine, free from knots and checks. New Idea lumber is graded on both sides, 
while even the finest interior-finish lumber is graded on one side only. 
Castings—The few simple castings used on the Model 8 
are of semi-steel, lighter in weight and much stronger and 
more durable than common castings. The simple design 
and the use of high-strength, light-weight materials is one 
of the chief reasons for the low cost of operating this 
machine. 
Riveted Frame—The entire framework is riveted through¬ 
out and is in turn riveted to the body of the machine. 
There are no bolts to work loose and fall out, and the 
body cannot warp or fall apart after a few months’ use. 
Tight-Box—Tapered Body—The body of the machine is 
built of tongue-and-groove boards, each of which is painted 
before being joined The box is IV 2 inches wider in the 
rear than in front, thus reducing the friction and per¬ 
mitting the load to move easily to the rear. 
All-Steel Beaters—The cylinders of the Model 8 are 
strongly built, properly timed and correctly adjusted to 
pulverize thoroughly and move the load with the least 
effort. 
The diamond-pointed steel teeth are inserted through one 
leg of the angle steel bar and firmly riveted to the other 
leg. The teeth may be quickly and easily replaced. 
The Bottom—The bottom is built of ship-lap boards of 
very fine-grained yellow pine. Each board is riveted to 
steel cross sills. After it is assembled the entire bottom 
receives an additional heavy coat of paint. The bottom 
of the Model 8 cannot warp or work loose. 
The Wheels—The wide, heavy rims of the New Idea wheels 
are electrically welded and the spokes are hot riveted, 
headed both on the inside and outside of the rim. The 
hubs of semi-steel are bored and reamed their entire 
length, making smooth running, correctly aligned wheels. 
The wide drive wheels are equipped with heavy channel- 
steel cleats and center lugs that guraantee perfect traction, 
prevent skidding and permit the machine to be used on soft 
or sloping ground and under other unusual conditions. 
The Conveyor—An endless conveyor or specially designed 
heat-treated steel links runs over the tight bottom of the 
Model 8. The joints of the conveyor chain are rust-proof 
and always remain flexible and free-running even in the 
coldest weather. Angle steel bars mounted on the chain 
at regular intervals move the load back and keep the 
bottom cleaned. Tighteners are provided and strippers on 
the feed shaft keep the chain from wrapping. 
Capacity—The Model 8 is a two-horse spreader with 
three-horse capacity. The load may be varied from 50 to 
70 bushels depending on the height of loading. Two horses 
can handle it easily under most farming conditions. A 
three-horse hitch may be had, if desired, at a small addi¬ 
tional cost. 
Low-Down-Easy to Load—The Model 8 is low down and 
easy to load. The sides are only 39 V 2 inches from the 
ground and the space between the wheels is free from 
obstructions that might interfere with loading. 
High Clearance—-While the bed is unusually low, the 
space under it is exceptionally high, leaving a clearance of 
16 inches.
