VIEW OF THE MACHINE AS ARRANGED FOR MOWING. 



As will readily be seen, it is provided with a driver's seat and wheels, independent of 

 fhe machine itLlf, but attached by hinges in such a manner as to allow an easy action 

 and adjustment, while this method does away entn-ely with all the side draft. _ 



The inachine itself is provided with a large main wheel, being about ^ovtj inches m 

 diameter and ei<rht inches face, with the necessary projections on its surface ihis 

 tl e t c St with an internal gearing at one side of the spokes, f^eeth of which are 

 protected from dirt and strengthened by a deep flange of nearly three ^«^1';^- Th 

 fllte is represented by that irart of the cut bearing the words ^^Mower -nd Reaper 

 ComMneciy The main frame is suspended from this wheel by means of ac^ustable 

 pinion boxes, the boxes being hung inside of hangers attached to the frame itselt. By 

 a lyino- a kind of wrench To the box, (which projects far_ enough beyond the hanga- , 

 a made square,) it may be turned ; thus by the action of its teeth on the corres- 



pondhig teeth L the hanger, the frame itself is raised or lowered to any desired point, 

 where it is confined by a simple iron key.
