Internutiouul tractor disk iiarru\v, sitle view, showing the strong construction

T Strong, One-Piece FramesHE frames used on the front and rear ganys are practically the same. Each is builtof one continuous piece of heavy anyle steel, i-igidly bolted to the heavy steelangles, which form the liacklione of the hai-row. The corners of these frames areheld rigidly by flat, steel corner braces.

The Gangs Can Always be Kept LevelThe front gangs are held level at all times by the heavy, steel-angle center framing,

while the rear gangs are held level by angle steel straps which act on the angle steel crossbraces of tiie rear frame. The gangs are i)ivoted on strong pivots located back of thecenter line of the arbor bolts so that the front gangs can roll together on their l)um])ers,relieving the bearings of all end thrust. The pull is transmitted to the gangs by heavystrap-iron drawbars working over large spools at the coiners of the fraines. By thismeans the pull is applied at three points on each gang. There is no danger of bending anarbor bolt.

BearingsAll of the bearings used on the International tractor disk harrow are made of a

special quality of hard iron and are made as nearly dust proof as it is possible to make adisk harrow. The rear gangs are built with a thrust bearing on the outside {which isthe proper location for a thrust bearing). All bearings are equipped with grease cups,permitting the use of grease (or hard oil) which is the most satisfactory material forlubricating an implement of this kind. These grease cups have caps which are made totake a wrench. Thus, the gi'ease can be forced into the bearings in cold weather.

ForecarriageTHE Intcrnationiil tractor disk h:irrow is roguhirly equippedwith a forecarriage, which is of great value in keejiing theharrow running steadily. The forecarriage wheels arefitted with grease cups and dust-proof lieaiings, the greasecups being located between the spokes where obstructions on theground cannot loosen them. The forecarriage wheel axle is

swiveled, iJermitting the forecarriage wheels to follow the uneven-ness of the ground. The forecarriage is of especial value whenthe tractor harrow is used after the plow.

ScrapersAll of the disks are equipped with spring steel, one-piece

scrai)ers, each of which can be adjusted to press as tightly againstthe disk as desired. They are made of a special shape, which is

particularly well adapted to keeping the disks clean. The scrapers are held in place by aheavy steel angle, which is firmly bolted to the gang frame.Steel Weight Boxes

The International tractor disk harrow is regularly equipped with two weight boxes, placedon the forward gangs. These weight boxes are made of steel bars and angles. They are ofgreat value when working in ditficult ground.

The International Disk Harrow^ Gives SatisfactionTlie International tractor disk harrow has given thoroughly satisfactory service to all who

have used it. It is an unusually heavy machineone that will get right down to its work andcut its way through, chopping up the clods. The use of the International tractor disk harrowafter the plowing has been done, with a spring tooth or peg tooth harrow trailing behind, and aseeding machine behind the smoothing harrow, is the quickest and best method of preparinga good seed bed and gettmg the crops into the ground under the best possible conditions.

Note the substantial construction of the frame, and the steel weight-box
