The New Improved Henderson Horse Lawn Mower 



We consider this to be the best horse power Lawn Mower on the market. It is simple in construction and very durable, the 

 best steel and iron being used in its manufacture, and it is finished in the most perfect manner. 



A lever beside the driver enables him to cut grass any height, high or low from the ground and to eas'ly and quickly raise the 

 blades over stones or other obstruction without stopping the horse or leaving his seat. A slight movement of a small lever tnrows 

 the mower in or out of gear without stopping. The side draft rod is attached to the left side of the mower keeping the horse 

 on the cut grass, and preventing the trampling down of the grass which is to be cut. The revolving knives, five in number, are 

 "high speeded," making a continuous cut and leaving the surface of tne lawn as smooth as velvet. Th^ rollers, three in number, 

 15 inches in diameter, with triple pawls in each roll make the most powerful and instantaneous drawing mechanism ever put 

 in a lawn mower. This feature maintains the motion of the blades even when turning sharp comers, a great advantage over 

 other double roll mowers whose knives have no motion when turning corners. The self-aligning journal boxes are a very valu- 

 able improvement and prevent cramping of the journals, a very common and dangerous fault in many horse mowers The 

 foot rest is spacious and prevents cramping of limbs and accidents through the feet slipping into the revolving cutters. 



These mowers will weigh, including shafts and driver, 600 to 700 pounds, thereby rolling the lawn at the same time it is cutting; 

 or the cutter may be thrown out of gear, and the machine used for rolling alone.

Townsend's "Triplex" Horse Lawn Mower 



For large lawns, parks, golf courses, etc., it is a boon, cutting a swath over seven 

 feet (86 inches) wide; doing the work of two motor mowers at an eighth of th 

 expense. The series of three mowers adapt themselves to uneven surface, 

 mowing over ridges and through hollows as well as level ground. Simple, 

 durable and light running. Easily drawn by one horse — all day long — and /£. 

 operated by any man capable of driving. 



With the Triplex Mower one man and one horse will cut more grass in a day than 

 three men and three horses with three ordinary lawn mowers, and will cut as much 

 grass as any two motor mowers, cut it better — without crushing the life out of soft 

 turf — and at a small fraction of the cost. 



The Triplex consists of three lawn mowers yoked together ..wo aoreast, and one follow- 

 ing in the center, lapping each front mower, thus cutting a clear swath eighty-six inches 

 wide. As the three mowers work independently of each other, and are so connected 

 from their centers to the main frame that they can swivel, rise and fall, they therefore 

 adapt themselves to the contour of the ground — floating over ridges and down hodows 

 — mowing the grass as perfectly as on the level, and better than is possible with a long 

 straight-edged bottom knife mower of any kind. 



On rolling ground the Triplex Mower shows its qualities to perfection, holding to a 

 side hill where a motor mower will slide sidewise. It is of extremely light draught, 

 due partly to ball bearings and partly to the excellence of design, material and work- 

 manship. 



Three levers at the driver's right enable him to lift any one or all of the cutting 

 apparatus frorn the ground to avoid obstructions, or in going to and from the field. 

 A small knob in the center of each wheel operates the clutch throwing the machines 

 in and out of gear. 



The mower is provided with a spring seat, ample foot rest, shafts, iron tool box with 

 tools and oil can. Net weight, 600 lbs. 



The mowers are packed singly in crates, the frame work is shipped assembled. It 

 is only the work of ten minutes to assemble the machines and attach the shafts.
