KKTCHTjarS MOWER with REAPEE ATTACHMENT, 

 Has ACTauED BT HOWARD & CO^ Bdpfalo, N. Y. 



KETCHUM'S celebrated Mowing Machine has been improved ty 

 the adJilion of a Reaper MtachmejU, and we now offer it as a 

 Mower, or as a Mower and Reaper combined, with full confidence 

 that it is the most perfect and successful Machine now in use. The 

 change from a Mower to a Reaper, (which means has been patent- 

 ij ed,) is ejected by simply enlarging the main wheel, by circular 

 sections, bolted to the lim of the wheel. Some of the advantages 

 obtained by this arrangement are: First — Raising the cutters 

 •ufBciently high for cutting grain. Second^Lesseningthe motion 

 of the knives, without any change of gearing, which ia very desir- 

 able in cutting grain, as much less motion is required. Third — 

 Reducing the dmfl of the Machine at least one-third. Fourth- 

 Raising the cogs of the driving wheel, thereby preventing them be- 

 ing filled with dirt, as they otherwise would be, on stable land. 

 Fifth — Attaining ihe above named objects without the least change 

 of any part of the Mower. We shall build for the har\-est of 1865 

 li the Combined Machines, with wTOOght iron frames and finger bars. 

 Ij Thofle manufactuied expressly for Mowing will all have wrought 

 '1 iron finger bars, but a portion of them with wood frames, iach 

 Machine will have a good spring seat, and every part made in the 

 4 mon substantial manner, and warranted durable, %vith proper care. 

 We have reduced the weight of the Mower about one hundred and 

 fifty pounds, which we have found desirable, and have no doubt 

 will improve them, by lessening their draft. We shall take the ut- 

 most pains to have our knives made of the best of steel, and well 

 tempered. 

 We otfer our Machines and warrant them capable of cutting and 

 t epreading from ten to fifteen acres of any kind of grass per day; 

 :-i also warrant them capable of cutting the same amount of grain per
