vs'''*’
Cushman Binder Engine
The Cushman 4 H. P. is the one Suc
cessful Binder Engine. Thousands are
in ; use every harvest. Fits any binder.
Engine drives sickle and all machinery.
Since horses have only to pull machine,
two horses will easily handle 8-ft. binder
in heavy grain. In a wet harvest Cush
man Engine saves tlu crop, as it keeps
sickle going when bull wheel slips.
Very Important—The weight of the en
gine on the rear of the binder, only 167
lbs., is balanced by the simple cone water
cooler on the front of the binder. This
balancing, and the water cooling, to pre
vent overhearing on all day runs, are
necessary to successful work in a hot field.
After harvest Cushman engine does all other
work. Very light weight and easy to move
around, yet runs more steadily than most
heavy engines, because of Throttle Gover
nor and perfect balance. 4H. P. weighs
only 190 lbs.; when stripped for binder
only 167 lbs. BH. P. only 320 lbs. Also
15 and 20 H. P. sizes.
