Cleaner Chain
ALL-FORGED HOOK-LINK™ CHAIN...
Available on Super 300 and Super SOO barn cleaners
I
RUGGED REVERSIBLE FORGED LINK CHAIN...
Available on Super 300, Super 500 and Super 750 barn cleaners
Basic components of link chain
A C old-rolled allo\ steel pins of connector links
are double swaged so they cannot work loose
so moisture can t corrode them Pins fit
contour of links
B Each rugged link can be reversed for longer
> ears of sen ice •
C High-carbon hot rolled steel flat bars of
connector links are 5/16in thick (not *4 in as
in some i to handle the biggest barns
D Hot-rolled angle steel scrapers c 2 in or 3 in
high) fit snuglv into link groove with flat side
up The 65 000 pound tensile forged link
carries the workload, not the bolt
E Steel wear shoe carries weight so chain
doesn t drag on gutter bottom The 1 3 4 in long
wear surface reduces wear on gutter and
scrapers
F Bolt secures wear shoe and scraper for easy
replacement The flange whiz lock-nut is up
for speed-wrench assembly Nut and bolt are
plated to resist rust, make removal easy
.npat o waging dovetails pins to pi, «ent lo
even if they are worn smooth (See diagram)
Reversible chain lasts longer

forged, (2) reinforced with
extra steel at wear points, and
(3) thoroughly hardened for
maximum strength by means
of closely controlled heat treat'

Hook-Links are reinforced at
both the hook neck and at the
wear point of the eye The high
tensile strength Hook-Link
features 5/A-in thick steel at
the wear points Extra thick
ness is provided where it is
needed for longer service life
IMPORTANT : Look for the
parting line” on any bam ch
chain you buy It shows whert
excess metal has been trimmi
It is your assurance that the Im>.
was totally forged, not ]ust punched
out of a flat steel bar with gram
flow in one direction only
You want a totally-forged link because forging
changes the grain of the steel, causing it to curve in
unbroken flow lines around the contours of the link,
giving the link greater strength to serve > ou longer

Editor:
I think by now most of us have
gotten our school taxes. Our dis
trict had a two mill increase.
Another district not far from here
had an 11 mill increase. We as far
mers are hit hard, and it will really
hurt August 30, 1987 (Deadline).
Now we can all do something
about this! In February of 1987
State Representative Samuel Mor
ris, D-Chester County, has intro
duced (H.B. 440), which will give
local taxing bodies the option of
replacing all or part of their proper
ty tax with a tax on income.
Morris says farmers have been
among the hardest hit by skyrock
eting property taxes and a local tax
structure based on the ability to
pay, rather than the amount of land
owned, would insure that farmers
do not pay more than their share.
I urge all you readers to get your
different organization that you

resentatives and senators and ask
them to vote for H.B. 440 when it
comes up for vote.
Governor Casey says he will
call a special session of the legisla
ture to deal with this issue alone.
My one representative told me it
probably will not come up for a
vote. This is the reason we must all
write or call our legislators in Har
risburg and let them know we can’t
keep paying more taxes.
Also since they got a 34 percent
raise, maybe they can hear us a
little better.
