Introducing the New 
JOHN DEERE 
HAMMER MILL 
Now you can get an inexpensive and economical John 
Deere Hammer Mill that will enable you to prepare your 
own feeds as desired from the crops raised on your farm. 
The work of this new 10-inch mill ranges from the finest 
grinding for chick or pig mash, to the cracking of corn and 
the coarser grinding for other classes of livestock. It does 
an excellent job of preparing feed at remarkably low cost, 
and its big capacity with a minimum of power consumption 
is a surprise to every farmer who has seen it in operation. 
BUILT TO LAST 
The John Deere is a sturdy, long-lived mill. The sides 
and ends of the mill are of boiler plate, securely welded 
and bolted together. This construction provides a rugged 
frame for supporting the main shaft and bearings. All 
operating parts are of high-grade materials, insuring low 
cost, trouble-free service. 
ROTOR SHAFT 
The tough, high-carbon steel rotor shaft in the John 
Deere is 2 inches in diameter—amply strong for the most 
difficult grinding jobs. This shaft is a combined rotor and 
fan shaft, and it runs on heavy-duty New Departure ball 
bearings, which are equipped for Alemite grease-gun lubri- 
^There are seven triangular mounting plates for the ham¬ 
mers on the rotor shaft. These plates are spaced between 
grey-iron collars which are 6 inches in diameter. The 
collars serve as stops for the base of the hammers and 
also act as a flywheel on the shaft. 
NEW-TYPE HAMMERS 
The semi-rigid hammers used on the John Deere are 
provided with step cuts and sharp cutting edges. Unlike 
the ordinary hammers, they cut as they grind, thereby 
reducing the material faster and without the usual ten¬ 
dency to “sliver” fibrous material. 
The three sets of hammers are so spaced that the entire 
area across the width of the mill is covered by hammer 
action. Spaced 120 degrees apart, the sets of hammers 
permit feeding various materials easily, which accounts tor 
the large capacity. „ , . , , , 
The special heat-treated hammers are of highest-grade 
hard alloy-steel and they are reversible, to give double 
wearing life. After both cutting edges are worn, they can 
be resharpened and their effectiveness renewed. This in¬ 
sures a long-lived trouble-free hammer. 
SCREENS 
The John Deere Hammer Mill is regularly furnished with 
two screens, one with %-inch round punching and the other 
with V’-inch square punching. Round-hole screens in 1/20- 
inch, 1/16 inch, 3/32-inch, 3/16-inch, %-inch and %-mch 
sizes, and square-hole screens in 11/16-inch and 1-mch sizes 
can be furnished. , . 
Screens can be quickly and easily changed. Simply loosen 
the two hand wheels holding the mill top to the base, tip 
the top back, remove the screen lock and breaker bar, and 
lift out the screen. Screens slide easily in the grooves, 
and it’s only a minute’s job to change them. 
The breaker bar, combined with the screen lock, causes 
feed to be broken up more rapidly and into finer particles. 
POWERFUL FAN 
The extra heavy steel fan housing is built onto the main 
frame of the mill and the fan is mounted on the rotor 
shaft. The three-blade fan is. powerful enough to elevate 
ground material 60 feet high, if necessary. 
FEED COLLECTOR AND TRIPOD 
The dust-tight feed collector is equipped with a double 
sacking spout for sacking feed on the barn floor or gioun . 
A handy damper controls the air intake into the collector, 
preventing too much blast from going into the bags oi 
US A°heavy channel steel tripod supports collector. 
POWER REQUIRED 
The John Deere can be operated up to its maximum 
capacity with a John Deere Model A Tractor or any other 
tractor of similar H. P. rating. When smaller tractors are 
used, the same quality of grinding is maintained at only 
slightly reduced capacities. 
ROUGHAGE MILLS 
The Letz roughage mill cuts, mixes and grinds grains, 
hays, straws, fodders, any feed crop, bundled or otherwise. 
Turns the whole crop into money saving feed. 
It is a cutter, recutter, crusher, grinder and mixer com¬ 
bined. It is a grain grinder, an ear corn crusher plus a 
roughage cutter, recutter and mixer, the entire product 
being discharged from cutter head and grinding plates. 
This combination does everything that a hopper mill will 
do, everything that a cutter and recutter will do plus 
selecting and mixing feeds in the proportion desired, at 
big capacity.
