| The text beneath the photograph reads: "This cut shows the side view of the tractor with binder mounted. The arrow points at the bull chain which operates the binder from a sprocket on the jackshaft of the tractor. It also shows a side view of the general construction of the tractor as it appears when binder is mounted, making it a COMBINED MACHINE operated by the same power plant with ample power to run an 8 ft. cut binder up to its proper speed REGARDLESS of how heavy the grain may be. This eliminated the trouble of the binder choking, which is caused by the binder slowing down from the bull wheel slipping on the ground when binder is drawn by horses. The main frame of the tractor is about 10 inches from the ground at the point where the binder rests on the frame, this allows the binder to cut the stubble about 6 inches high on a level, but can be cut lower than this by lowering the grain wheel." |
