T he Gold well Improved Motor Mower and Roller 



For Lawns, Parks, Golf and Country Glub Grounds, &c. 



'^'HIS 1905 Motor Mower is the outcome of several years of experience in the manufacture 

 ^' and use of machines for this purpose. It is a simple, economical, compact, durable 

 and low priced motor mower that anyone of ordinary intelligence can run. The 

 gasolene motor is one of the simplest ever made, absolutely safe, has few parts and all 

 accessible, the cylinders — water-cooled — are four inches in diameter making a 4-inch stroke, 

 the fuel to operate costs no more per day that the feed of a horse, and when not in use 

 consumes nothing. The lawn mower portion of this machine is practically identical with 

 the Henderson Horse Mower offered opposite which combined with this motive power forms 

 an invaluable machine for both mowing and rolling lawns. With it the work can be done 

 twice as fast, or in other words, one motor mower will do the work of at least two horse 

 mowers. The motor mower is easily handled, the movement of a lever instantly starts, 

 stops or backs it and it is as quickly and easily guided and can be turned completely about 

 in the space of 6 feet. It can be run close to shrubbery, trees and walls cutting within 6 

 inches of them, it will mow up to a 10% grade and cannot be upset. The knives 

 can be stopped and started while the machine is in motion, they are speeded 

 high and will cut taller grass than any lawn mower, and can be set to cut as 

 high from or close to the ground as desired, the floating character of the 

 cutting mechanism adapts itself to the contour of the lawn leaving the 

 surface smooth and free from corrugations and no hoof prints are left in 

 moist or soft sod. 



As a Motor Roller it is almost as valuable as for mowing, for any 

 lawn is greatly improved by frequent rolling if the weight is sufficient, 

 and the weight of these machines with operator is just about right, 

 though when soil is dry and hard, an extra load of stone or iron may 

 be carried. When used exclusively for rolling, the cutting mechanism 

 may be quickly elevated out of the way. The whole machine only 

 occupies a space about 4x5 feet.
