'LITTLE PITTS" STEEL FRAME THRESHER 
 
 STEEL FRAME : The "Little Pitts" thresher has a strong and rigid steel frame, which 
 will not warp, sag or twist out of shape. The upright steel channels are filled with hard wood, 
 the wood sides of the machine are fastened to these and all are securely bolted to the chan- 
 nel bars. This construction makes the frame practically indestructible, and one that is very 
 light in weight. 
 
 STEEL FRONT; The "Little Pitts" thresher has a solid steel front, which forms a rigid 
 support for the cylinder. 
 
 THRESHING CYLINDER: The cylinder is of the heavy Pitts type, open space, has 12 
 bars and is equipped v/ith the regular heavy Pitts teeth. 
 
 The cylinder shaft is I ;'+ inches in diameter. 
 
 Number of teeth required are 5 I -T5 and 2 1 -T6 in the threshing cylinder and 46-T5 teeth in 
 the concave. 
 
 CONCAVES: The concaves are made heavy and strong and are adjustable in a true circle 
 to the cylinder. The concaves take the regular patent cylinder tooth. 
 
 SEPARATION: The separation in the "Little Pitts" is done, first, with the Pitts patent 
 separating cylinder and big grates behind the threshing cylinder, which is the same construction 
 as in the Niagara Second steel frame thresher. This insures the best of separation at this point. 
 Second, with the one-piece zigzag straw rack or bolter with a lifting fork in the center which 
 gives a sharp break to the straw and changes the motion or flow of the straw.

 GRAIN PAN: The grain pan in the "Little Pitts" is a one-piece pan with a long chaffer i 
 attached extending over the sieves in the shoe so as to relieve the mill and enable the shoe to do 
 good cleaning at all times. The separating bolter and pan are hung on rocker arms, are perfectly- 
 balanced, and are driven with one crank which is placed under the pan outside of the machine 
 and out of the dirt. 
 
 PI 1 MANS: The pitmans driving the bolting pan have metal bearings and an end take-up 
 which is easily adjusted. This helps to make a quiet and smooth-running machine. 
 
 BOXES: Self-adjusting boxes keep the shafting in perfect alignment at all times and are a 
 necessity in all machines where smoothness and light running are desired. 
 
 SHOL: The shoe has an end shake and is hung on four ball and socket hangers. It is 
 driven on each side with a steel crank and wood pitmans and has plenty of room on the sieves. 
 The sieves are the same quality as used in the Niagara Second steel frame machine. 
 
 ALKjtKS : Augers are used both in the grain and tailings spouts, which results in positive 
 Vi'ork. 
 
 ELEVATOR: The elevator is of ample size to handle the tailings under all conditions- 
 It has an endless chain belt with wood blocks, which secures a positive drive and satisfactory 
 results. 
 
 BELTING: The system of belting on the "Little Pitts" is simple. Only the highest grade 
 of leather belting is used. The belts are wide enough to prevent slippage at low tension. 
 
 TRUCK: The "Little Pitts" with drag stacker and hand-feed attachment has 4-inch face 
 truck wheels, 36 inches in diameter front and rear. These wheels are of the highest grade steel. 
 The "Little Pitts" equipped with wind stacker and feeder has 6-inch face truck wheels, 36 inches 
 high in front and rear. 
 
 The axles are made of heavy channel iron with tapered skeins, and are well braced. 
 
 DECK: The "Little Pitts" has a steel deck which is absolutely water tight. This is a 
 decided advantage, as it protects the inside working parts of the machine from being damaged 
 by water. 
 
 MEASUREMENTS AND WEIGHT OF MACHINE: The "Little Pitts" thresher is 7 
 feet 5 inches high from the ground to the top of the deck. Length of the "Little Pitts" thresher 
 without feed tables or stacker, is 14 feet. Length over all, with hand-feed tables and drag 
 stacker folded is 20 feet. The weight with drag stacker and hand-feed attachment is 4,800 lbs. 
 Weight with self-feeder and wind stacker is about 5,800 lbs. 
 
 EQUIPMENT: The "Little Pitts" steel frame thresher is built in one size only — 28-inch 
 cylinder and 48-inch rear. 
 
 Equipment can be furnished as follows: 
 
 Feeder: Hand feed or Universal self-feeder. 
 
 Stacker: 1 8 or 22-foot drag, or Russell wind stacker. 
 
 All types of grain handling attachments. Can be equipped for hard wheat threshing.
