THE ENCLOSED ENGINE THAT OILS ITSELF 
The John Deere farm engine is far ahead of its field 
in design and construction—i t places the farm engine 
on a plane with other types of modern power machinery. 
Users say, “John Deere is the greatest advancement 
ever made in farm engine building.” It is a fact that 
no other farm engine has ever been designed with so 
many distinctive advantages. 
The complete enclosure of its operating parts and its 
automatic oiling system, while outstanding features, 
are but two of the many improvements that make it a 
profitable investment for every farmer. 
Take the time to read the following facts about this 
farm engine. You will recognize at once the reasons for 
its great success. 
All Vital Parts Completely Enclosed 
All the important parts—crankshaft bearings, con¬ 
necting rod bearings, cylinder, governor, timing gears, 
etc.—are completely protected within a dust-proof 
housing. 
There is no more opportunity for sand and other 
foreign matter to get into the vital parts of the John Deere 
than there is for such particles to get into the motor of your 
car. 
Longer life, less repair expense and better service neces¬ 
sarily result from this advanced design. 
Governor Accurately Controls Speed 
The John Deere operates on the hit-and-miss principle. 
By merely turning a hand nut located on the outside of 
crank case, the speed of the engine can be varied from one- 
half normal speed to ten per cent above normal speed with¬ 
out stopping engine. The vital parts of the governor and the 
hook-up mechaism are hardened to resist wear. The governor 
is entirely enclosed within the dust-proof case and operates 
in a bath of oil. 
Engine Operates Without Vibration 
Smoothness of running is a feature that every user ap¬ 
preciates in the John Deere. Because the operating parts 
are carefully balanced, this engine runs without vibration 
at any speed.

NEW JOHN DEERE (MODEL E) MANURE SPREADER 
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. 
9 ADVANCED FEATURES 
WHICH INSURE 
EASIER LOADING—EASIER PULLING 
BETTER WORK—LONGER LIFE 
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 
wrapping, lightens draft and does a better job of shred¬ 
ding 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. 
5. 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.
