Cheaper   Farming

An  expensive  farm  power 


Increasing  Cost  of  Horse  Power 

The  American  I'armiT  of  todiiy  is  face  to  face  with 
the  power  problem.  It  has  been  slowly  developint;-  in 
the  last  few  years  and  recent  conditions  have  brought  it 
more  forcibly  to  the  front.  Farm  power  is  usually  the 
horse  and  in  the  i)ast  it  has  proved  a  very  satisfactory 
power.  Slowly  durinjr  the  last  few  years,  but  more 
rapidly  within  the  past  year,  the  farm  work  has  in- 
creased more  in  volume  than  hoi'ses  have  in  numbers. 
This,  together  with  the  large  numlier  of  horses  (78,799 
in  five  months  in  1914  alone)  that  are  now  Ijeing  shipped 
out  of  the  country,  has  stimulated  the  price  of 
horseflesh  far  above  the  actual  value  that  can  be  obtained 
from  it  on  farm  work.  The  maintenance  of  horses  has  also  increased  enormously.  Feed  has 
gone  up  and  is  becoming  more  scarce  in  many  localities,  and  horses  must  be  fed  every  day  in 
the  year.  Horses  and  their  feed  require  large  Iniildings  for  housing  and  protection.  Building 
operatiinis  are  not  only  expensive,  Ijut  the  buildings  filled  with  hay  and  other  inflammal)le 
material  are  a  Iiigfire  risk  —  so  much  so  that  farm  barn  insurance  is  extremely  high,  there 
being  no  adequate  fire  pi-otection  within  reach. 

Decreasing  Cost  of  Oil  Power 

Contrasted  with  the  increasing  cost  of  animal  power  is  the  decreasing  cost  of  tractor  power. 

The  first  machines  operated  on  steam  —  a  reliable,  Init 
— =r'  expensive  form  of  power.     Then  came  the  gasoline  trac- 

tor cutting  the  cost  of  power  below  that  of  the  steam 
tractor  and  animal  power.  Now  we  have  the  Titan  oil 
tractor  which  operates  on  kerosene,  distillate,  solar  oil, 
and  other  cheap  fuels  which  can  be  bought  in  most 
localities  for  aljout  half  the  cost  of  gasoline  —  and  the 
Titan  oil  tractor  uses  less  kerosene  than  the  old  tractors 
did  gasoline  and  delivers  just  as  much  and  far  more 
reliable  power. 

There  is  another  feature  of  Titan  oil  tractors  which 
must  l)e  considered — while  horses  must  be  fed  all  the 
year  around,  the  expense  of  a  Titan  stops  with  the 
work.  It  costs  nothing  to  keep,  yet  it  is  ready  at  a 
moment's  notice  to  start  work  again.  The  winter 
quarters  of  a  Titan  need  be  only  a  small  shed. 


Horses  eat  all  the  year  'round

Tractor  Does  Better  Work  than  Horses 

F.  L.  Peterson,  of  the  Californiji  University  f;ii-m,  says:  "In  an  actual  experiment  a  yain  of 
2U0  per  cent,  which  was  made  in  tlie  pi-odiictiveness  of  a  certain  area,  I'MI  i)er  cent  was  found 
to  be  due  to  better  plowing'  and  harrt)\viny,  tji)  jier  cent  to  better  cultivation,  and  the  rest  to 
better  seed." 

Horses  cannot  be  iJushed  harder  to  produce  these  results.  In  the  spring-  when  they  are 
needed  for  jjlowing,  they  are  soft  and  weak  from  their  winter's  inactivity.     Care  must  also  be 

taken  not  to  overwork  the  mares  in  foal.  It  takes 
more  power,  applied  at  the  right  time,  to  get 
the  maximum  yield.  It  must  be  a  Titan  oil 
t  ractor.  A  Titan  oil  tractor  will  plow  deeper  and 
keep  it  up  twenty-four  hours  each  day  at  the 
same  i)ac(\  till  its  job  is  comi)leted.  A  leading 
agricultural  paper  quotes  that  it  is  impossible 
to  get  several  drivers  to  plow  furrows  of  the 
same  size.  This  cannot  be  true  of  a  Titan.  It 
is  a  machine.  The  si)eed  is  the  same  at  all 
times.  The  plows  are  set  and  mechanicall.v 
maintained  at  required  depth;  the  width  of  the 
furrows  is  fixed  liy  the  rigid  plow  frame. 
Therefore,  the  work  must  be  uniform  in  every 
l)articular,  and  the  same  kind  of  a  job  can  be 
done  at  the  close  of  a  d;iy  as  at  the  stai-t.  This 
is  true  also  for  disking,  harrowing,  seeding,  and 
all  other  work  done  by  a  Titan.  The  result 
A  Tiun  12-25  does  a  clean,  uniform  job  is  an  evBii  Stand   and  a  yield  of  greater  value.

Plowing  and  seeding  in  one  operation  with  a  Titan 


It  does  not  take   lony  to  cut  the  crop  with   a   Titan 


Getting  tlirough  on  time  with  a  Titan  oil 
tractor  does  not  mean  a  hurried,  skimped  job. 
It  means  when  horses  are  standing  idl.v  in  the 
sliade  or  in  tiie  barn,  exhausted  from  the  heat 
and  work,  the  Titan  goes  right  along.  It  travels 
ail  day  in  the  same  re!ial)le  and  etficient  manner, 
never  slackening  or  skimping  the  work.  Never 
a  year  comes  but  what  you  are  rushed  with  some 
of  your  work.  jNIany  times  a  few  days  saved 
means  money  in  your  pocket.  If  you  have 
gotten  beliind  in  your  work  or  you  think  the 
weather  or  soil  conditions  will  not  be  ideal  for 
working  very  long,  you  can  work  a  Titan  night 
and  day — even  Sundays,  if  you  want  to.  It  has 
no  feeling  and  does  not  need  a  rest  every  hour 
or  so,  or  at  night.  The  only  time  it  loses,  is  a 
few  minutes'  stop  to  grease  bearings  and  to  fill 
up  with  fuel,  oil,  and  water  once  or  twice  a  day, 
and  it  is  ready  to  start  again  at  the  same  pace. 
.Much  time  is  also  saved  in  the  morning  and 
night  which  is  given  to  tiie  care  of  horses. 
AVhen  you  <iuit  for  the  night,  the  tractor  stops 
in  its  tracks  and  is  ready  to  start  in  the  morning 
where  it  left  off  the  night  before.  Not  only  is 
time  saved  l)y  the  tractor,  but  it  does  work  in 
weather  tiiat  is  injurious  for  horses  and  does  it 
as  well  as  in  good  weathei',  and  the  operator  does 
not  sutfer  as  he  is  protected  by  the  spacious  cab. 

The  Titan  has  another  feature  that  saves 
much  time  and  is  used  with  success  in  the  North- 
west. On  virgin  land,  where  it  is  desiralile  to 
plow  shallow,  disks,  harrows  and  oftentimes  grain 
lb-ills  are  also  attached  to  the  engine,  making  a 
perfect  seed  bed  in  one  operation.  This  can  also 
l)e  accomi)lished  where  deeiier  plowing  is  advis- 
able by  using  fewer  bottoms.

A  Titan  Saves  Labor 

A  Titan  Saves  Labor  at  Every  Job 


when  the  horses'  work  is  done  you  still  have 
to  take  care  of  them 


going  over  the 
disking  and  harrowing  can  be  done  in  one  operation. 
Another  big  saving  of  labor  is  the  time  spent  in  taking 
care  of  horses.  Tiiey  must  be  fed  and  watered  tliree 
times  a  day  and  bedded  at  night  all  the  .year  'round, 
while   all  the  care  a  tractor  needs  is  a  little  cleaning 

every   day   or 
^.    ^  two  and  a  good 

oiling  every 
day,  and  then 
only  when  it 
is  being  used. 
When  .\()U  come 
to  think  of  it, 
you  are  really 
working  as 
much  for  your 
horses  as  they 
work  for  you, 
and  your  time  is 
„         ,    „  ^  ,  ^  far   more   valu-

A  saving  of  labor  always  means  a  saving  of  money. 
It  is  the  system  on  which  all  modern  factories  and  in- 
dustrial corporations  run.  A  man  with  a  team  can  plow 
only  about  two  acres  a  day,  or  seed  only  about  sixteen 
acres  a  day.  This  same  man  on  a  Titan  3()-6(^t-H.  P. 
tractor  could  plow  nearly  thirty  acres  or  seed  over  one 
hundred  acres  a  day.  Not  only  does  a  man  increase 
his  capacity  and  control  more  work  with  a  Titan,  but 
liis  job  is  much  easier.  He  sits  in  the  cab  in  the  shade 
and  makes  the  tractor  work  for  him.  He  has  ncj  trouble 
lifting  the  plows  out  at  the  end  of  the  furrow  —  the 
modern  power  lift  plow  takes  care  of  that.  All  he 
does  is  pull  a  rope  and  the  plows  lift  automatically. 
When  it  is  time  to  put  them  in  he  again  pulls  the  rope 
and  they  drop  in  and  start  plowing.  Then,  instead  of 
ound   several   times,    the   plowing.

Seeding  a  big  acreage 


Saving  the  grain  with  a  Titan 


Grubbing  and  Plowing 

Clearing  l:in<l  is  easy  \v(irk  for  a 'J'itaii.  The 
large  machine  will  handle  two  24;-inch  <j;rai)l)ing- 
plows,  plowing  twelve  inches  deep  through 
brush  land  and  small  saplings,  cutting  the  roots 
and  turning  them  over.  Tiie.v  are  also  exten- 
sively used  for  clearing  operations,  pulling  up  the 
smaller  trees  and  removing  the  larger  stumi)s. 
For  plowing  they  are  the  ideal  power,  doing  a 
clean,  even  job  in  any  kind  of  soil  at  any  de|ith 
the  plows  will  go,  and  doing  it  in  far  shorter 
time  than  can  be  equalled  by  any  other  power. 
They  are  one-man  outfits. 

Disking  and  Harrowing 

After  the  plowing  the  seed  bed  is  of  next 
importance.  A  thorough  l)re;iking  up  of  the 
jilowed  ground  is  of  great  value  to  obtain  the 
best  results  from  a  good  job  of  plowing.  This 
takes  power,  and  must  be  done  quickly.  It  is 
just  the  kind  of  work  that  a  Titan  will  help  you 
with.  You  can  load  it  up  with  double  disks, 
land  rollers  or  packers  and  harrows  all  at  once. 
No  need  to  go  over  the  same  ground  twice.  Then 
the  disks  and  packers  can  be  weighted  down 
good  to  secure  the  maximum  results  without 
taxing  the  tractor. 

Seeding 

Seeding  is  an  operation  that  must  be  done  on 
time  in  order  to  insure  a  maximum  .vield.  A\'ith 
a  Titan  this  is  always  accomplished.  A  Titan 
can  be  crowded — it  will  work  overtime  or  nights 
without  injur.v,  and  in  case  the  plowing  or  har- 
rowing has  been  delayed,  the  seeders  can  Ijo 
attached  after  the  plows  or  harrows,  and  the  seed 
drilled  in  at  the  same  time  without  going  over 
the  ground  again. 

Harvesting 

When  the  grain  is  rii)e  there  should  be  no 
dela.y.  In  the  heat  of  the  summer  horses  or 
mules  cannot  be  worked  to  their  limit,  and  it  is 
also  hard  on  the  drivers.  Their  limit  is  only  ten 
to  twelve  acres  a  day  to  the  binder,  and  in  heav.v 
grain  it  taxes  the  teams  to  the  utmf)st.  A  Titan 
oiJ  ti'actor  is  not  susceptible  to  the  heat  and  flies 
or  bothered  by  the  lieavy  grain.  It  will  work 
all  da.v  without  rest,  cutting  its  thirty  to  sixty 
acres  a  da.v  according  to  its  si/.e,  and  get  the  job 
done  before  the  ^ram  is  pvera-ij)e.

Threshing 

Titan  oil  tractoi-s  fiirnisli  the  steady,  reliable 
power  necessary  for  the  job  at  less  cost  than 
any  other  power.  There  are  no  sparks  to  look 
out  for,  no  boiler  to  tend,  no  coal  or  water 
waji'ons  with  their  drivers  to  pay  for.  Just  fill 
Lip  with  fuel,  oil,  and  water  in  the  morning-,  and 
a  Titan  will  run  all  day  with  very  little  atten- 
tion or  care;  in  fact,  the  operator  can  help  the 
threshing  gang  most  of  the  time. 

Belt  Power 

Titan  oil  tractors  are  i)articularly  adapted  for 
belt  work.  Their  speed  variation  is  very  slight, 
due  to  their  multi-cylinder  construction,  throt- 
tling governor  and  perfect  balance.  Their  heavy 
flywheels  are  an  aid  to  close  regulation.  Titan 
front  trucks  are  narrow,  so  that  their  is  no  inter- 
ference with  the  belt.  On  a  Titan  the  operator's 
difficulties  are  i-educed  to  a  minimum.  There 
is  no  fire  to  keep  up  or  other  work  around  the 
engine  other  than  to  see  that  it  is  well  lubricated 
every  hour  or  so.  On  a  Titan  you  never  have 
to  wait  for  steam — you  have  the  engine's  maxi- 
mum i)Ovver  at  your  instant  Cf)n:mand. 

Hauling 

There  is  no  better  power  for  hauling  than  a 
Titan  oil  tractor.  They  have  sufficient  weight 
for  tractive  power,  but  are  light  enough  to  cross 
the  avei'age  bridge  without  danger  or  work  on 
country  roads  without  miring.  They  do  not 
i'C(|uire  extra  wagons  for  hauling  fuel  or  water; 
in  fact,  they  I'equire  very  little  water  for  a  day's 
oi)eration.  The  operator  is  comfortably  jjro- 
vided  for.  The  platform  is  spring-mounted,  and 
a  spring  seat  is  part  of  the  regular  equipment. 

Road  Work 

The  success  of  Titan  oil  tractoi's  on  road 
W(ji'k  is  country-wide,  and  the  saving  effected 
liy  their  use  over  steam  and  hoi'se  iJower  is  re- 
markable. They  perform  all  the  work  of  road 
l>uilding.  Digging  up  old  roads,  grading  with 
all  t.\pes  of  graders,  hauling  stone  and  gravel, 
operating  stone  crushers,  concrete  mixers  and 
asphalt  machines  are  some  of  the  jobs  that  Titans 
are  being  used  for.  Man.v  townships,  counties, 
and  contractors  have  pui-chased  Titans,  and  they 
alwa.vs  make  good.

Construction  of  12-25-H.  P.  Oil  Tractor 


Titan  25-H.  P.  four-cyiinder  oil-burning  power  plant 

Four-cylinder  design:  The  Tiliin  ::^.")-H.  P.  power  plant  is  a  disliuctly  superior  type  of 
four-cylinrler  eiiyine,  developed  especiidly  to  burn  kerosene  and  stand  up  under  the  severe 
conditions  imposed  on  an  engine  used  for  farm  work.  It  gives  you  every  advantage  known  to 
modern  designing  and  has  many  new  and  exclusive  features  which  add  to  its  economy  and 
reliability.  It  is  a  far  more  suljstantial  construction  than  the  automobile  type  motors  and  much 
easier  to  get  at.  The  cylinders  are  horizontal,  which  is  a  big  advantage  in  l)urning  oil,  and  set 
across  the  machine  so  the  power  is  delivered  direct  through  spur  gears  without  bevel  gear.  The 
four-cylinder  construction  and  slower  nnjtor  speed  makes  it  practically  free  from  vibration 
and  prolongs  its  life.  The  working  parts  are  completely  enclosed  in  dust-tight  crank  case, 
which  prevent  excessive  wear,  yet  it  is  an  easy  engine  to  get  at.  The  crank  case  cover  is 
removable,  exposing  all  the  principal  parts  for  inspection  or  adjustment. 

Cylinders:  The  cylinders  are  cast  in  pairs  and  are  Ijolted  to  a  substantial  one-piece  dust- 
tight  crank  case  with  a' removable  cover.  Both  the  intake  and  exhaust  manifolds  lead  from  the 
cylinders  so  that  the  cylinder  heads  ai-e  left  free. 

Cylinder  heads:  The  cylinder  heads  are  cast  in  pairs,  each  covering  two  cylinders,  and 
can  l)e  removed  without  disturliing  other  parts.  The  removal  of  the  cylinder  heads  gives  the 
operator  a  clear  view  of  the  valve  heads  and  pistons.  The  only  pai'ts  attached  to  the  cylinder 
heads  are  the  spark  plugs.  This  makes  it  a  simple  matter  to  remove  them  as  they  are  always 
in  plain  sight  and  reach. 

Only  one  mixer:  One  mixer  with  two  fuel  needle  valves  and  a  single  water  needle  valve 
is  used  on  the  Titan  l-2-2r,  tractor  so  that  the  adjustments  are  reduced  to  the  minimum.  This 
also  enables  the  oi)erator  to  reduce  the  fuel  consum|>tion  by  ol)taining  a  finer  adjustment.  For 
starting  a  hot  air  drum  with  a  hot  and  cold  air  damper  and  two  feed  supply  cups— one  for 
gasoline  and  one  for  oil — are  provided.  The  mixer  will  handle  any  of  the  cheap  fuels  such  as 
kerosene,  distillate  down  to  39"  Baume,  gas  oil,  solar  oil,  or  motor  spirits  and  will  also  burn 
gasoline  or  naphtha.

(Construction  of  12-25-H.  P.  Tractor  —  Continued) 

Fuel   supply:     The  tractor  i.s  i)rovided  with  two  fuel  tanks — a  .six-yallon  gasoline  tank 
for  startinj;-,  and  a  thirt.v-two-gallon  oil  tank,  which  is  sutlicient  for  an  all-day  run.     Two  fuel 

pumps  are  also  provided  for  pumping  the  fuel  to  the 
supply  cups,  one  for  gasoline  and  one  for  oil. 

Governor:  A  flyi)all  throttling  t.ype  governor  is 
used  which  operates  a  butterfly  valve  on  each  branch  of 
the  intake  manifold.  This  type  of  governor  controls  the 
amount  of  fuel  mixture  entering  the  cylinders  and  not 
only  keeps  the  engine  running  at  a  iierfectly  steady 
sjieed,  but  varies  the  amount  of  fuel  in  proportion  to 
the  load. 

Ignition:  Tli(>  ignition  is  juni])  si>ark.  the  current 
licing  iiirni^hed   by   a  high-grade  gear  driven  magneto 

The  magneto  used  enables  you  to  start  as  easily  as 
on  batteries  —  eliminating  all  battery  eriuipment  and  the 
troubles  they  are  heir  to.  This  magneto  has  an  auto- 
matic starting  device  which  enables  the  magneto  to 
fuinish  a  good  si)ark  for  starting.  When  the  engine 
starts,  this  device  is  automatically  thrown  out  of  action. 

Lubrication:  The  motor  is  lubricated  liy  an  auto- 
matic force-feed  oiler  with  twelve  feeds.  The  transmission  is  luliricat- 
ed  by  another  automatic  force-feed  oiler  with  five  feeds.  These 
automatic  force-feed  oilers  are  the  newest  design  with  all  woi-king 
parts  enclosed  and  running  in  oil.  These  lubricators  are  valveless 
and  there  are  no  springs  en-  liall  valves  to  give  trouble.  They  will 
force  oil  in  any  temperature  and  against  a  pressure  of  2,(iu0  lbs. 
They  protect  you  against  dry  bearings.  At  the  same  time  no  oil 
is  wasted. 

Cooling:  The  motor  is  water  cooled.  The  water  is  circulated 
through  the  cylinders  and  a  vertical  tube  radiatoi-  by  a  belt-driven 
rotary  pump.  A  lielt-driven  fan  is  also  provided  to  aid  radiation. 
This  method  gives  perfect  cooling  and  is  very  economical  of  water. 

Frame:  The  frame  is  constructed  of  steel.  It  is  spring  hung 
on  the  trucks  so  that  the  engine  rides  easy,  even  on  rough  ground. 
This  also  saves  the  tractor,  and  prolongs  its  life. 

Transmission:     A\'ith  the  Titan  12-25  you  have  two  speeds  for- 
ward antl  one   reverse  at  your  command,  all  controlled  by  a  single

Steering:  The  automobile  type  steering'  device  makes  steei'in<>"  easier  and  tar  more  jiositive 
than  tiie  old  chain  type.  The  castings  are  high-grade  steel  and  the  front  axle  is  well  trussed. 
Operators  who  have  handled  the  heavy  old  type  tractors  will  be  agreeably  surprised  by  the 
Titan  12-25.  Its  light  weight  and  spring  mounting  make  it  very  easy  riding.  The  short 
wheel  base  and  automobile-steering  device  enalilcs  it  to  turn  very  short.  The  t\vo-si)eed  trans- 
mission gives  the  operator  a  high  power  low  speed  for  tough  plowing  and  hills,  and  a  lirisk 
speed  for  road  work,  light  farm  work,  etc. 

Lightweight:  Light  weight  in  the  Titan  12-2.")-H.  P.  tractor  does  not  mean  flimsy  C(m- 
struction,  l)ut  merely  that  tlie  design  has  eliminated  much  weight,  and  the  generous  use  of 
steel  castings  has  not  only  reduced  weight,  l)ut  increased  the  strength. 

Cab :  The  cab  is  roomy  and  provided  with  a  comfortable  seat  for  the  operator,  placed  on 
the  right  side,  giving  a  clear  view  ahead  when  i)l(iwing,  and  within  easy  reach  of  the  operating 
levers,  brake  lever,  etc.

Power  plant  of  Titan  1 8-35-H.  P.  oil  tractor 


The  Titan  IS-li.'i-H.  P.  tractor  has  lieen  dosiijnod  for  those  who  need  a  more  ijowerful 
tractor  than  the  12-25-H.  P.  si/e.  This  tractor  lias  OTan.v  new  and  exclusive  features  of 
design  which  increases  its  sphere  of  usefulness  and  gives  it  many  advantages  over  the  ordinary 
type  of  tractor.  Although  this  tractor  is  lighter  in  weight  for  its  power  than  many  others,  no 
strength  or  draw-bar  power  has  been  sacrificed.  Steel  has  been  used  generously  in  its  con- 
struction, so  that  in  reality  it  is  much  more  rigid  than  the  heavier  type  of  tractors.  The 
engine  has  been  designed  with  a  cast-iron  dust-tight  crank  case  for  protecting  the  pistons  and 
cylinders,  crank  shaft,  etc.,  from  dust. 

For  road  work,  the  two-speed  transmission  and  automobile  type  steer  gives  it  a  decided 
advantage,  and  tlie  lighter  weight  permits  the  crossing  of  bridges,  unsafe  for  heavier  tractors. 
For  threshing,  this  tractor  has  no  siii'ierior.  It  gets  over  the  road  fast,  requires  little  attention 
while  operating,  and  the  throttle  governor  and  twin  cylinders  hold  the  engine  to  a  steady  speed 
at  all  loads.  The  speed  can  also  be  varied  to  suit  conditions  liy  a  speed  regulator  controlled 
from  the  cab.  The  comfort  of  the  operator  has  been  given  special  attention  and  ever^'  pos- 
sible convenience  has  been  provided.

Titan  combined  gasoline  engine  and  air  compressor  starter 
fits  in  compartment  in  front  of  cooling  tank 


Self -Starting  device:  This  consists  of  a  complete  little  gasoline  engine  and  air-compressor 
power  plant  and  an  air  starting  system.  The  gasoline  engine  and  compressor  are  located  nndcr 
the  forward  part  of  the  water  tank  and  consist  of  a  K-II.  P.  air-cooled  engine  geared  to  a 
small  air  compressor  mounted  on  the  same  base.  This  outfit  is  completely  enclosed  by  doors  to 
keep  out  the  dust,  which,  when  opened,  exposes  the  entire  outlit  to  view,  and  gives  easy  access 
to  the  parts.  The  air  compressor  pumps  air  into  a  storage  tank,  located  between  the  forward 
part  of  the  truck  sills,  and  from  the  tank  it  is  piped  to  the  left-hand  cylinder  of  the  large  engine 
and  enters  the  cylinder  through  an  automatically-operated  valve.  For  starting  the  engine, 
mixer  is  adjusted' the  same  as  starting  by  hand,  then  the  air  valve  is  thrown  into  gear  and  the 
compressed  air  enters  the  cylinder  and  operates  it  the  same  as  the  gas.  When  the  fuel  ignites, 
the  air  valve  is  held  closed.  The  air  tank  will  hold  enough  compressed  air  for  starting  several 
times  and  a  gauge  is  located  near  it  which  shows  air  pressure  in  the  tank.  A\'ith  this  outfit, 
there  is  no  turning  the  engine  over  by  hand.

Power  plant:  The  twin  cylinder  60-11.  P.,  fonr-oycle  engine  used  on  this  tractor  has 
established  a  remarkable  record  for  strength  and  durability.  The  design  is  simple  and  all  parts 
are  easily  accessible.  A  sheet  metal  case  incloses  the  engine  and  is  equipped  with  seven  doors 
for  easy  access  to  all  working  parts. 

Valves:  The  valves  are  mounted  flush  in  the  cylinder  head  so  that  there  are  no  valve 
pockets  or  projections  in  the  cylinder  other  than  the  ignitor.

Cooling  system:  The  engine  is  water-cooled 
by  means  of  a  radiator  and  a  centrifug-al  type 
circulating  pump.  The  cylinders  and  jacket  walls 
are  not  cast  integral,  so  that,  should  occasion 
require,  the  cylinder  liners  may  be  easily  taken 
out. 


Removable  cylinder  liner 


Ignition:  The  ignitors  for  both  cylinders  are 
operated  by  an  eccentric  rod  through  a  bell  crank. 
This  eccentric  receives  its  motion  from  the  cam 
shaft.  This  rod  also  operates  the  mechanical  oilers 
and  the  fuel  pumps.  The  ignition  current  for  running  is  furnished  lay  a  magneto,  gear  driven 
from  the  cam  shaft.     For  starting,  batteries  are  furnished. 

Engine  gears:  All  cam  gears  are  steel,  machine  cut.  and  are  located  inside  of  the  crank 
case.    They  are  mechanically  oiled,  and  protected  from  dust  and  dirt. 

Governor:  The  governor  is  of  the  fly-ball.  spring-conti'oUed  throttling  design  operating  a 
butterfly  valve  in  the  intake  manifold.     A  small  rod  operated  iiy  a  crank  conveniently  located 

near  the  cvHnder  liead  permits  the  speed    to  be 
varied  from  2Tu  R.  P.  M.  to  3.")((  K.  P.  M. 

Crank  shaft:  The  crank  shaft  is  made  from 
a  solid  steel  ingot  and  runs  in  three  extra  large 
removable  balil)itt  bearings. 

Connecting  rods:  Connecting  rods  are  drop- 
forged  steel,  carefully  machined  and  polished.  ()n 
the  crank  end  of  the  rod  is  a  divided  bearing  box 
which  can  be  removed  without  removing  the  piston 
or  wrist  pin.  The  wrist  pin  bearing  has  a  phosphor 
bronze  bushing  which  can  be  easily  adjusted  liy 
the  bolts  located  in  the  head. 

Note  the  three  massive  crank-shaft  bearings 

Fuels:  Titan  tractors  are  oil  tractors  and 
need  no  change  for  operation  on  the  difi'erent  grades  of  oil  fuels.  Many  kerosene  engines 
have  been  designed,  but  the  Titan  holds  the  distinction  of  being  the  first  kerosene  tractcjr  that 
has  successfully  overcome  all  ditticulties  in  a  simple  and  efl'ective  manner,  dehvering  its 
maximum  power  on  kerosene,  distillate,  solar  oil,  gas  oil,  motor  spirits,  gasoline,  motor 
spirits   or  naphtha. 

Fuel  mixer:  The  fuel  mixer  is  especially  adapted  for  operation  on  the  lower  grade 
fuels,  and  will  operate  on  kerosene,  distillate,  solar  oil,  gas  oil,  gasoline,  motor  spirits  or 
naphtha   equally   well. 

The  design  is  very  simple.  It  consists  of  two  separate  constant  level  fuel  cups,  each 
supplied  with  fuel  by' a  fuel  pump,  one  pumping  from  the  small  gasoline  tank  for  starting 
and  the  other  from  the  large  oil  tank  for  operating.  The  two  .supply  cups  are  connected 
with  the  needle  valve  and  spray  nozzle  by  a  valve  so  the  engine  can  be  started  on  gasoline 
and  run  for  a  few  minutes  till  the  engine  is  warmed  up  and  then  switched  to  the  cheaper  fuel 
by  simply  turning  the  valve   handle   which  connects  the  supply  cups  with  the  needle  valve. 

One  of  the  strong  features  of  the  mixer  is  the  perfect  control  of  the  air  supply  to  the  mixer 
and  the  automatic  supplying  of  water  when  operating  on  low  grade  fuels.  An  adjustable  valve 
is  provided  in  the  air  pipe  for  regulating  the  hot  air  from  a  drum  around  the  exhaust  ])ipe. 
This  makes  it  possible  to  vary  the  temperature  of  the  air  to  the  mixer  to  meet  the  varied 
conditions  of  weather.      A  third  air  inlet  is  provided  with  a  spring  controlled  poppet  valve,

which  only  lulmits  ;iir  when  the  engine  is 
operating"  under  load.  When  this  valve 
opens  and  admits  air,  water  is  also  admit- 
ted, both  in  proportion  to  the  load  on  the 
engine. 

The  complete  mixer  is  so  simple  and 
so  near  automatic  that  it  requires  practi- 
cally no  attention  after  starting. 

Fuel  pumps:  The  fuel  pumps  are 
located  so  that  the  operator  can  pump  up 
a  supply  of  fuel  l)y  hand  from  the  platform 
or  from  the  ground.  The  pumi)s  are  of 
the  plunger  type  with  ball  valves.  All 
parts  of  the  pumps  are  brass  with  the 
exception  of  the  i)lungers  and  lialls,  which 
are  of  steel. 


Complete  60-H.  P.  mixer  and 
hot  air  drum 

Starting  engine :  The  start- 
ing engine  is  a  complete  little 
power  plant  in  itself,  equipped 
with  its  own  gasoline  tank  and  battery  box.  It  is  of 
the  four-cycle  type  of  design,  air  cooled,  with  an 
enclosed  crank  case.  Jump  spark  ignition  is  used, 
the  current  being  furnished  by  batteries  and  a  jump 
spark  coil. 

For  starting,  the  mixing  valve  on  the  tractor  is 
set  for  gasoline  and  the  compression  relief  cam  is  thiown  in.     The  .small  starting  engine  is 

started  and  allowed  to  run  free  for  a  minute 
till  up  to  speed,  then  the  lever  rotating  the 
eccentric  bearing  on  the  starting  engine  is 
pulled  up  till  the  friction  pulley  is  pressed 
against  the  large  engine  flywheel.  This 
rotates  the  large  engine  at  a  sutHcient  speed 
for  starting  and  the  mixers  can  be  adjusted 
at  leisure.  When  the  large  engine  starts,  the 
starting  engine  is  tilted  back  and  stopped. 

Transmission :  An  examination  of  the 
transmission  will  reveal  many  good  features. 
All  the  gears  and  pinions  are  cast  steel.  The 
di'iving  pinion  is  in  the  i)est  location  to  with- 
stand all  strains.  This  pinion  is  feather- 
keyed  l)y  two  large  keys  to  the  clutch  sleeve 
so  that,  although  it  may  be  easil.v  shifted 
from  forward  to  reverse  position,  it  is  securely 
held  on  the  sleeve.  Note  that  there  is  no  over- 
hanging of  working   parts.     Every  gear  is

close  to  a  bearing.  The  clutch,  even  thouyh  it  is  located  on  the  end  of  the  crank  shaft  exten- 
sion, is  in  a  good  location,  because  the  strains  produced  when  it  is  thrown  in  are  torsional, 
hence  it  is  merely  a  ([uestion  of  making  the  crank  shaft  heavy  enough  to  witlistand  them.  The 
intermediate  gear  shaft  is  exceptionally  short  —  only  nine  inches  long,  and  has  ami)le  bearings. 

Forward  speed:  When  the  lever  is  shifted  for  forward  speed  the  i)inion  on  the  engine 
crank  .sliafL  meshes  directly  with  the  bull  gear  on  the  countershaft  and  the  i)inion  on  the 
countershaft   meshes  with  the  differential  gear  on   the  rear  axle. 

Reverse:  The  action  of  the  reverse  is  just  as  positive  as  that  of  the  forward  sjjced  and 
is  accomplished  by  means  of  sliding  gears.  The  driving  pinion  of  the  clutch  spider  sleeve 
may  be  shifted  to  mesh  with  the  intermediate  gear  on  the  intermediate  gear  shaft  just  l)elow 
the  crank  shaft  extension.  This  shaft  also  carries  the  reversing  i)inion  which  meshes  with 
the  large  countershaft  gear.  This  metliod  of  reversing  is  practically  the  same  as  that  used  on 
autiiiudbiles.

Belt  work:  When  the  engine  is  used  for  belt  work,  the  driving  pinion  may  be  shifted 
to  a  neutral  position  on  the  clutch  si)ider  so  that  none  of  the  transmission  gears  will 
revolve,  or,  the  driving  pinion  may  be  moved  to  a  neutral  position  and  the  clutch  thrown 
in  so  that  the  clutch  sleeve  and  driving  pinion  revolve  as  integral  parts  of  the  crank  shaft. 
In  this  way,  even  though  the  driving  pinion  is  revolving,  there  is  absolutely  no  wear  of  any 
transmission  part. 

The  intei'mediate  gear  shaft  is  short,  and  has  ample  Itearings  and  supports  at  both  ends  to 
hold  it  absolutely  in  correct  alignment  with  the  crank  shaft  and  countershaft. 

The  differential  gears:  They  are  made  of  steel,  of  ample  proportions,  and  of  the  simplest 
design  known  to  motor  vehicle  and  traction  engine  construction:  they  are  located  in  the  right 
hand  drive  wheel,  in  the  large  driving  gear,  which  is  free  to  revolve  and  which  carries  the  four 
bevel  pinions.  Two  bevel  gears,  one  on  each  side,  mesh  with  these  pinions  —  one  bevel  gear 
being  keyed  to  the  axle  to  which  the  left  hand  driver  is  keyed;  the  other  being  bolted  to  the 
right  hand  driver  which  revolves  freely  on  the  axle.  M'hen  going  ahead,  both  bevel  gears 
revolve  at  the  same  rate  and  the  pinions  on  the  drive  gear  are  at  rest.  In  turning,  when  one 
wheel  has  a  tendency  to  go  slower,  the  pinions  revolve  on  the  bevel  gear  connected  with  the 
slow  moving  wheel  "and  transmit  a  faster  motion  to  the  ojiposite  bevel  gear  connected  with  the

outer  wheel.     Tliis  construction  n^lioves  the  strain  on  the  wheels  and  axles,  allowing  one  driver 
to  revolve  faster  than  the  othei-,  although  the  power  applied  to  each  is  the  same. 

Truck  frame:  The  truck  frame 
consists  of  heavy  steel  channels, 
which  are  continuous  from  front 
t<J  rear,  and  a  heavy  steel  bearinjr 
frame  riveted  to  the  channels.  A 
special  quality  of  9-inch  steel 
channels  is  used,  thus  providing  a 
frame  ami)ly  strong  to  withstand 
all  strains  to  which  it  may  lie  sub- 
jected. The  two  large  steel  hear- 
ing castings  riveted  to  this  frame 
liold  both  the  main  axle  and  the 
countershaft  bearings. 

The  engine  frame  is  riveted  to 
the  9-inch  channels  so  that  it 
practically  Ijecomes  an  integral 
pai't  of  the  truck  frame.  This 
construction  is  cleai-ly  shown  in 
the  accompanying  illusti-ation. 

Rear  axle :      The  rear  axle  is 
made     of     cold-rolled     steel,     4/^ 
inches  in  diameter  and  HlH  inches 
long.      It  runs  in  two  extra  long 
babbitted  bearings,  one  being  21 
inches  long  and  the  other  16  inch- 
es long.     This  axle  is  a  live  axle, 
having  the  left-hand  driver  keyed 
to  it,  wliile  the  right-hand  driver  is  bdllcd  to  tli(>  outside  bevel  g(>ar  of  the  differential  and  is 
fi'ee  to  revolve.     Tlie  inside  bevel  gear  of  the  differentia!  provides  a  bearing  for  the  I  mil  gear 
and  is  keyed  to  the  axle. 

Bearings:  All  bearings  are  of  liberal  propoiiions  and  carefully  hand-scraped  to  a  perfect 
fit.  The  two  real-  axle  bearings  give;>7  inches  of  bearing  surface  —  the  left-hand  bearing  being 
21  inches  wide  and  the  right-hand,  IG  inches  wide. 

The  left-hand  countershaft  bearing  is  10  inches  wide,  and  the  right-hand.  12  inches  —  a  total 
of  22  inches  of  bearing  for  this  shaft.  Rear  axle,  bevel  pinion,  intermediate  gear,  crank  shaft, 
and  the  lower  half  of  the  countershaft  bearings  are  of  supei'ior  babbitt.  The  bull  gear  flushing 
and  the  upper  half  of  both  right-hand  and  left-hand  countershaft  bearings  are  special  bearing 
metal.  This  special  bearing  metal  is  used  on  the  C(juntershaft  bearings  because  it  is  this 
half  of  the  bearing  that  is  subject  to  all  of  the  wear  and  strain. 

Front  trucks:  The  front  trucks  are  narrow,  the  wheels  being  attached  to  steel  kiuu-kles 
of  the  autonidbile  tyi)e.     The  steering  knuckles  are  provided  with  grease  cups. 

Steering:  Titan  3<)-60-II.  P.  tractors  are  equipped  with  an  automoliile  type  steering 
device,  which  msikes  steering  much  easier  than  the  chain-to-axle  method,  and  permits  the 
front  truck  to  be  made  narrow  so  the  wheels  will  not  interfere  with  a  low  Ijelt  when  used 
for  threshing.  The  truck  is  made  exceptionally  strong  and  is  rigidly  trussed,  so  there  is  no 
danger  of  In-eakage.

12-INCH    BEARING 


Main  frame  of  the  Titan  H.  P.  tractor.     Note  that  both  countershaft  and  main  axle  have  extra  long 
bearings  and   are  held  in  the   same   casting,  which  prevents  the  gears  from  getting  out  of  alignment 


Wheels :  Tlie  wheels  are  fitted  with  cast  iron  hubs.  The  siK)kcs  are  of  fiat  bar  steel,  up-set 
at  the  outer  ends  and  riveted  to  the  tires  and  hubs.  This  construction  insures  wheels  of  great 
duraliility  and  strength.  The  face  of  the  drive  wheels  is  2-i  inches  and  they  are  eciuipped  with 
proper  sized  Injrs.  The  edges  are  re-enforced  by  small  steel  channels  bent  in  and  riveted.  A 
simple  and  effective  differential  gear  relieves  the  wheel  hubs  from  all  torsional  strains.  The 
left-hand  driver  is  keyed  to  the  live  axle  and  therefoi-e  revolves  with  it.  The  riuht-hand  driver 
is  free  to  revolve  on  the  axle  and  is  bolted  to  one  half  of  the  differential.  The  other  half  of  the 
differential  provides  a  bearing  for  the  large  driving  gear,  and  is  keyed  to  t.he  axle.  When 
turning  corners  the  differential  gear  provides  for  the  difference  in  rotation  of  the  wheels  and 
distributes  the  power  proportionately  to  each,  although  rotating  at  different  speeds.  The  front 
wheels  are  provided  with  six-inch  extensions  as  part  of  the  regular  equipment. 

Oiling:  The  30-60-H.  P.  Titan  tractor  is  luljricated  with  two  mechanical  oilers  — one  a 
10-feed  oiler  and  the  other  a  -l-feed  oiler.  The  lu-feed  oiler  oils  all  the  engine  licarings  and  the 
cylinders.  The  4-feed  oiler  lubricates  the  gears  only  —  the  differential  gear,  countershaft  gears 
and  pinion.  Two  oilers  are  used,  so  that  when  the  engine  is  being  used  for  belt  work  the  oiler 
for  the  gears  can  be  shut  off',  so  there  is  no  oil  wasted.  The  countershaft  bearings,  front  truck 
wheels,  rear  drive  wheels,  intei-mediate  gear  shaft,  and  differential  pinions  are  all  provided  with 
grease  cui)S. 

The  cups  for  oiling  the  countershaft  and  main  axle  i)eaiings  are  provided  with  rods  and 
handles  which  extend  Ijack  to  the  operator's  platform  so  that  he  may  keep  these  parts  well  oiled 
without  leaving  his  position.

Filling  pipes :  The  filling"  jiiiics  for  the  fuel  tanks  are  conveniently  located  on  the  belt 
side  just  forward  of  the  flywheel.  They  are  equipped  with  large  funnel  tops  with  removable 
bi'ass  gauze  strainers. 

Drawbar:  A  swinging  draw  bar  eciuippcd  with  a  spring  draft  gear  is  provided.  This 
prevents  the  load  from  being  jerked  along  and  also  saves  the  tractor  fi'om  undue  strain  in 
starting  loads. 

Cab:  The  cab  is  all  steel  and  made  with  the  view  of  greatest  comfort  and  convenience  for 
the  operator.  The  platform  is  spring  hung  to  relieve  the  operator  of  vibration.  The  windows 
are  equipped  on  special  order  only  with  waterproof  curtains,  so  the  cab  can  lie  completely 
enclosed  when  operating  in  the  rain  or  sleet,  or  when  left  out  in  the  field.  A  comfortable  spring 
seat  is  provided  so  the  operator  can  see  where  the  front  wheels  are  running.

Operating  levers:  There  are  two  oiJcniting  levers  —  one  for  tlirowiny  the  clutch  in  and 
one  for  the  reverse.  The  levers  are  conveniently  located.  Tiic  movement  of  the  front  wheels 
is  controlled  l),v  a  steering  wheel  which  is  within  easy  reach  of  the  right  hand  of  the  operator. 

The  brake  is  operated  by  a  foot  pedal  located  just  below  the  steering  wheel. 

Convenience  and  accessibility:  This  tractor  has  a  large,  roomy  platform,  and  all  parts 
of  the  engine  have  Ijeen  arranged  with  regard  to  convenience  and  accessibility.  The  tool  and 
battery  boxes  are  on  the  left,  out  of  the  way  of  the  operator.  The  filling  pipes  are  only  w-aist 
high,  and  are  placed  on  the  right-hand  side  of  the  engine  towards  the  front,  which  makes  it  an 
easy  matter  to  fill  the  fuel  tank.  All  the  operating  levers,  the  mixing  valve,  si)eed-changing 
crank  and  battery  switch  are  within  arm's  reach  of  the  operator  standing  at  the  steering  wheel.
