Melter-Applicator
Clipper Manufacturing Co., Inc. a leader in the concrete sawing and joint sealing field announces the PORTA-SEALER, a highly portable melter-applicator.
The PORTA-SEALER will melt asphalt and rubber based sealing compounds, and pressure-seal all types of pavement joints in highways, airports, and parking aprons. It is ideal for sealing jobs on industrial floors, swimming pools, driveways, sidewalks, bridges, and other jobs where nominal quantities of material need to be melted and applied.
The Clipper PORTA-SEALER is the only compact, portable joint sealer on the market which offers three different methods of applying sealing compound into the joints: 1. Through a specially designed Hand Bar for sealing transverse joints, and for use around columns, posts, and other hard to reach areas. 2. Through a Mounted Pressure Bar for fast sealing of longitudinal and transverse joints in open areas. 3. Through a unique gravity flow Applicator Shoe ..for application in final construction joint sealing.
The cil-jacketed propane fired melting vat holds up to 300 pounds of material, and melts up to 200 pounds per hour. The thermostatic controls, and valves, are located within easy reach of the operator. An oil heated grid melts cakes of sealing compounds into small operated agitator eliminates overheating, prevents "choking", and increases the melting rate.

New Heaters
Mr. Heat Company has announced three heater models for the 1965-66 season. They are the Model H-88 (90,000 B.T.U. class), Model HT-1555 (159,000 class) and the HT-245 (250,000 B.T.U. class).
The Models HT-155 and HT-245 feature a blower intake on top of the housing to provide a separate supply of air for greater circulation of heated air. All models burn kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil and operate on 110 V AC current. An automatic fuel metering device shuts off the fuel supply instantaneously when the unit is turned off to eliminate smoke and wasted fuel.
All of the Mr. Heat models feature automatic purging for fully automatic expulsion of heat after the heater is turned off. This feature increases heater life and eliminates dangers caused by heaters that remain hot.
The two larger models are equipped with an automatic thermostat (optional on H-88). All Mr. Heat units have the same type of UL approved moter and burner units that are used in home heating. Fuel capacity ranges from 12 to 15 hours depending on the size of the heater. All have semi-pneumatic tires and steel carrying handles.
For more information, a demonstration, or the name of your nearest Mr. Heat dealer, contact Mr. Heat Company, 3700 Forrest Park Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63108.

IH Catalog
International Harvester Company has just released a 20-page four-color catalog on its new line of 7, 10 and 12 hp International Cub Cadet lawn and garden tractors.
Profusely illustrated the catalog shows the latest "big tractor" features incorporated in these three models, including child proof safety precautions.
The catalog graphically shows the new styling and comfort of these machines and points up their application for four-season yard work.
Equipped with three-blade 38, 42 and 48-inch center-mounted rotary mowers, specially designed to lift grass straight up for a clean cut, the blades overlap to eliminate streaking. Special features prevent scalping.
Aside from a complete complement of snow removal equipment, the tractors feature a revolutionary development in cold weather or weak-battery starting A compression release holds the exhause valve on the cylinder open, thus releasing compression and allowing engine revolutions to build up, allowing the tractor to start in seconds even at 20 degrees below zero, without flooding or battery strain. At 300 rpm or more, the exhaust valve closes automatically, and the engine is ready for action. Including specifications of the three new Cub Cadet tractors, the catalog also shows some 20 work attachments, ranging from landscaping and ground maintenance equipment to gardening, spraying, sweeping and general utility that are available for these units.
Copies of the catalog (AD-2399-R2) are available from local International Harvester dealers handling this equipment, or by writing the Advertising Department, International Harvester Company, 401 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, III, 60611.
Curing Machines
Eveready Industries, Inc., Kansas City, Mo, announces the addition of three low cost, portable concrete curing machines. They are ideal for use on concrete curbs, gutters, sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, bridges, and side edges of concrete slabs, short pavements runs, and smaller inaccessible areas. They are good for spraying form oils.
Model TC-30 Side Sprayer is a multi-purpose machine. It features a self-filling, self-contained 33 gallos gallon tank, which helps minimize drum handling. The pump connects directly to the 3 H.P. engine, eliminating belts. An efficient by-pass system returns the unused material to the tank. This agitates the compound and prevents setting or separation. The nozzle spray is easily adjustable. The TC-30 is equipped with puncture-proof cushion tires, eliminating tire repair.
Model DC-50 is a cart-mounted machine which accepts 55 gallon drums of curing compound or form oil. It features the same engine, pump, by-pass, and hand spray wand as the TC-30 Side Sprayer, and is easily moved to the spray area by hand or in a pickup truck
Model PC-10 is a skid-mounted machine which is used in conjunction with 55 gallon drums of curing compound or form oil. Equipped with handles for lifting, the PC-10 is easy to carry, and to operate from the back of a pickup truck.
