This makes a most durable and rigid connection, and one that never can fail. Like many other parts of the machine, it is much more expensive than that used by others ; but, if you take into account the increased durability, it more than compensates for any additional cost. David IMf ^^^^'^ ^ So^^ H IlAIVEtTINO MACHINIIY DIVIDER^POINT In very rough ground, frequently a very severe strain comes on this part of the machine. In the Little Maxwell the whole of the Divider End being constructed of steel, with malleable iron brackets, makes it very durable, and capable of standing very severe usage. The method of raising outside of table is simple and direct. I ^^>^^v\L^^^^ ^i/,«,V^lf^^^^^ MAIN WHEEL Strongest and best .Wheel ever used in a Binder. Out of all the Max- well Machines manufac- tured, not a single Wheel has ever failed. : 6 : David HEEL and best ised in a the Max- manufac> gle Wheel : 6 : IRrs iaxwell & Sons ARVESTING MACHINERY KNOTTER In. a Knotter, what is required is somethings simple and sure. These important points are found in the Maxwell Knotter. The en- graving shows the mechanism used in tying. There is no plunger lx>lt| nor' bevel or other wheels used to operate the disc, the whole being done from the single cam. Everything goes in unison, and to miss tying on a Little Maxwell is a very unusual occurrence. Testi- monials have been received from purchasers who claim to have gone through the whole harvest without missing a bundle. TORONTa RIGHT ABOUT The only Right-Hand Binder Manufactured The Little Maxwell, not being manufactured after any other pattern, but being an entirely original Canadian invention, you will find many features not on other machines. Prominent among these is the "Right'Hand Cut." This is, undoubtedly, the proper way to cut, and to those who have been in the habit of using reapers and mowers, the operation of the Little Maxwell will come very natural, instead of having to go around the field in the opposite direction, as is the case with all other binders. : 7 : David 'OQaxw axwell & Sons ARVESTING MACHINERY THOI OPERATING LEVERS The Tilting, the Lifting, Shifting and Reel Levers on the Little Maxwell are all within easy reach of the driver,, and can be easily operated, giving him at all times perfect control of the machine. They can be operated with the machine in motion, and every condition of crop is thus easily harvested. SEAT, ETC. Observe carefully the position of the seat on nearly all other binders, and it will be found attached to the elevator frame, but on the Little Maxwell it is fastened directly on the main frame, and in such a position that the operator can see all the cutting and the discharge of every sheaf. The reel standard and binder part are also carried directly on the main frame, avoiding the rock and twist common to machines where attached to the elevator frame. CANVASES The Elevator Canvases on the Maxwell Machine are from two to five inches wider than on others, and having also larger binder capacity it is capable of going through a heavier crop. In all tests in heavy, tangled grain the Maxwell has proved superior to other machines. Steel Elevator Sides with Brass Roller Bearings : 8 THOUSANDS IN USE MAXWELL REAPER THE UNIVERSAL FAVORITE THE MOST PERFECT MANUFACTURED MAXWELL REAPER IN THE FIELD MAXWELL MOWER No. 3 FRONT CUT : lo David HAaxwell & ^ns M HARVBSTINQ MACHINERY MAXWELL MOWER INOi O A Perfect Qrass Cutting Machine Our No. 3 Mower has been manufactured for the past seven years, and during that time we have never met with a single purchaser who is not entirely satisfied. There never was a No. 3 Maxwell Mower returned, and no machine ever offered has given such universal satisfaction. Not satisfied with having the best mower manufactured, wherever progress is ^o be made, we improve, and have added our new patent foot lift, which enables the operator to retain his lines in his hands and lift the cutter bar simply and easily with his foot. We were the first to adopt this improvement in Canada, and an examination will convince any intending purchaser that it is a useful and desirable feature. SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES OF MAXWELL NO. 3 MOWER Main Wheels are of good height and broad on face, enabling machine to run easy and lights We also use four pawls in drive wheel, so that one is always ready to engage immediately machine moves forward. The Gearing. — This is the simplest gear ever placed on a mowing machine, having only four wheels , and taken in connection with the driving pawls on main wheels, the result is that when machine moves the knife moves, the lost motion being reduced to an impercep- tible point, and the machine will stop and start in the heaviest grass crop without backing. The Pitman. — We use a Hickory Pitman with steel jaws and brass boxing, ball and socket connec> tion at either end of jaws, which are held together by steel bolt and horned nut, held in place by key. The Pitman cod is one of the vital parts of a mowing machine, and we have made it as perfect as possible. II r David Sfc^'j axwell & Sons ARVESTING MACHINERY THK SHORT STflOKC tHC LOMG STROKE. The Pitman on Maxwell No. 3 is no longer than on most mowers, and gives as direct a motion as possible to the knife. The illustrations herewith show the results attained by the long Pitman as compared with the short one> Th« Finger Bar. — In order to have a successful work- ing mower, special attention requires to be given to the Cutter Bar. After two years' experience we now manu- S^SS^^t um BMiium*i«> mab iroKiMA facture our Bar with a smooth top, the nuts being below, with "O POUNDINQ WOH JSKiviww. an improved guard rounded away at the shank. This construction requires less power to cut all the different kinds of grass than any other machine manufactured. The smooth top to the bar enables the light grass to slip over it without htnging. The sickle clip is also formed to oiFer as little resistance to the cut grass as possible. The Cutter Bar Spring. — Oneof the improvements of our new No. 3 is the counterbalanced spring to assist the driver in handling the bar. When the bar drops into a hollow the full force of the spring is exerted in bringing it out without the guards ploughing the ground and choking the machine. On smooth ground, however, the draft rod floats the bar lightly along. When the cutting is heavy, the bar has more of a tendency to hug the ground ; then the pull on the draft rod becomes stronger. In light cutting the pull is less, so the bar is automatically floated. The spring, as we have it arranged, keeps the lever and parts conveniently at hand and prevents rattling. When it comes to raising the bar, the whole force of the spring acts to throw it up high to pass obstructions. The Rocking Tilt. — The perfect tilt upon this machine is one of its best features. The bar can be locked in any position, or, b> the use of the link on end of lever, it can be arranged not to engage in any of the ratchets, and thus the bar will be left free to float on the surface of the ground. Draft, — The draft rod is attached above the inside shoe on cutter bar. A careful examination will convince you that this is the proper point to draw from. : 12 : Day plac par ada a vi Bar any David ^/f axwell & Sons H IIabvbstino MACHINERY MAXWELL MOWER BIG 3 . . . Finding a growing demand for a larger and more powerful machine than any yet produced, we manufactuned and placed upon the market our Big 3. This machine is, in every detail, the same as our No. 3, excepting that the driving wheels, gearing, and all parts are larger, heavier and stronger, and the machine weighs one hundred and Bfty pounds more. It is adapted to carry a five, six or seven-foot Bar if required, and is the only machine offered constructed with a view to the handling of larger crops, and having all the durability of our standard machine with a four-and-a-half-foot Bar. Every machine sold last season gave perfect satisfaction, and we recommend it with the greatest confidence to any of our patrons requiring a machine of this capacity. Its total weight is eight hundred pounds, and it is easily operated by two horses. : 13 »4 MAXWELL BIG 3 IN THE FIELD David mth axweil & Sons ARVBSTINQ MACHINBRY , DIRECTIONS FOR SETTINQ UP AND OPERATINQ ...

We are manufacturing the well-known "Tiger Rake," and with steel wheels, twenty-six teeth, using angle steel where the teeth are fastened. We put several hundred of these on the market last season, and in every instance they gave the best of satisfaction. A careful comparison will convince any intending purchaser that it is by far the best •'Tiger Rake" made. : 19 : David M'l; axwell & Sons ARVBSTINQ MACHINBRV ITHACA RAKE HAND DUMP The Ithaca Rake is one of the oldest and best known of the hand dump class of rakes, and in some sections of the Dominion there is a considerable demand for them. For the coming season we purpose adopting "alUsteel" wheels, and an examination will convince intending purchasers that we have some improvements in this not to be found on any other Ithaca Rake. »o : I I I I r of the trheels, >n any i David axwell & Sons HARVESTING MACHINERY It is no experiment, but is the leading machine of its class in Canada; has been on the market for years and is fully guaranteed. Over two thousand are in the hands of lead- ing farmers throughout the Dominion, and are pronounced invaluable in properly hand- ling a hay crop. SAVES TIME LABOR AND HELP HAY LOADERS HAY MAKING MADE EASIER BY USING THE MAXWELL HAY LOADER 21 : # David Maxwell & Sons ■^ ^ UARVeSTINa THE LOADER nACHlNBRY ADVANTAGES OF U8INQ No fixed number of persons is required to operate the Loader, but it may be handled by one, two, or three to suit the circumstances. If a man is without help, he can load with the machine as fast as if he had a man pitching on by hand. If he had a boy to drive, he can load as fast as if three men were pitching on. If a third person is at hand, two men on a waggon can (with the machine) load a ton In five minutes. In fact the speed of the Loader is only limited by the ability of the men on the waggon to place the hay. Although originally intended to run on hay raked on winrow, it may be used on heavy, unraked hay, or hay in cocks, and all kinds of loose grain and on all ordinary meadow land. Its extraordinary capacity for elevating hay — a ton in three minutes — affords facility for securing hay which, under the old style of hand labor, in showery weather, would frequently be lost. The saving in actual labor in pitching hay on the waggon in the meadow is enough itself to pay every farmer who cuts any amount of hay for purchasing a Loader, the pitching on now being the slowest and hardest part of haymaking. But the saving of labor is not the greatest saving made ; it is the securing of hay when ready for the barn or stack before it Is damaged by the rain. If a farmer has twelve loads cured ready for the barn, and can by hand secure but half of it during the day, the other half must remain and take the chances of getting wet and may be utterly ruined before the weather allows of its being drawn in. With the aid of the Loader, the same help that drew in the six loads would have secured the whole twelve, thereby saving six ioads. We assert there is no implement used in haymaking (except the horse rake) which actually saves so much money as the Loader. We warrant, with the same number of hands, to put at least two loads on the waggon with the Loader while one is being put on without it. It requires no extra men or horses to work it, being attached to the rear of the waggon and operated by the same team that draws the load, adding to the draft, when in operation, only the power of one man. It has no violent motion or side draft when in operation, and being strongly built will not wear out in a lifetime. Attaching to or detaching from the waggon is but the work of a moment. : aa : # David 'fijQaxwe axwell & Sons ARVESTING MACHINERY THE MAXWELL HAY TEDDER in a The growing demand for a reli- able, well-made Hay Tedder, which can be sold at reasonable figures, led to the development and perfect- ing of this machine. It is getting ^o be pretty well understood that, among the most valuable of improved implements, the Hay Tedder ranks first ; not only because air-dried and quickly- made hay is the best and most nutritious that one pound cut early before it becomes woody is worth two cut and sun-scorched on top in the old way, but because with the Tedder the grass cut in the earlier part of the day can usually be made into first-class hay and put under cover the same day, avoiding a vast amount of labor and risk of change of weather, with attendant loss. It usually falls quite compact, the team and mower pass over swath and pack it more closely to the ground, so that 2?, David Maxwell & Sons •^ ■*• Uarvbstinq MACHINERY it is only the top which dries, while the underside remains for hours almost as green as when first mowed. Put the Tedder into this grass shortly after it is cut and how changed its condition. It lies up loose, the air passes through it, and in less than half the usual time it is made into first-class hay. Should there be no sunshine, but a slight breeze, hay can be well made by using a Tedder. If, by any miscalculation, grass is cut and rained on, the Tedder will do the work of twenty men in shaking out the water, putting it in the best condition to dry, saving hay enough sometimes in one day to half pay for itself. Practical experiment has proven that a ton of hay made from grass cut as near the time of flowering as possible, when it contains all its nutritive properties, is, without doubt, worth at least one-third more than when cut at the usual time. Without the Hay Tedder, unless a large amount of hand labor is used, it is almost impossible to make good hay from grass cut early. If cut just before flowering and made into air-dried hay, like green wood seasoned under cover, it weighs heavier. It is also far better feed, producing greater results. When grass is cut at the right time seeding is not near as liable to run out. With clover, when the second crop is wanted for seed, it is the only successful course to be pursued. By being able to do the haying early, it is out of the way, so that other, perhaps, equally important work can be done at the right time. No one who has fully investigated the advantages ot using a Hay Tedder, and certainly no one who has used the implement, will for a moment doubt its great utility, and that it is money in the pocket to own and understandingly use this machine. This Tedder we can put on the market with a guarantee of its success as a perfect working Hay Tedder in every respect, having been fully tested and operated during the past ten years. : 24 David "OOaxwell & Sons fARVESTING MACHINERY DISC HARROW We have greatly improved this Harow for the coming season by putting on our "Patented" Disc Cleaner. The illustration shows the non-reversible or incut form which is the one generally used. We, however, make a reversible Harrow if required, which can be used in the out cut form.
