THE IDEAL POWER LAWN MOWER 



MADE IN TWO SIZES— 22-INCH AND 30-INCH CUT 



The principal of the Ideal Power Mower is the same as that of the ordinary hand mower. The 

 cutting reel is driven by the traction of the mower wheel. The mower is loosely suspended from 

 the frame of the tractor, and becomes the front axle of the machine. It is pivoted so that it 

 always has a free tilting motion, and the wheels adapt themselves to any irregularity of the 

 ground's surface. The mower, therefore, glides over the lawn and any obstruction which may be 

 encountered merely prevents the blades from rotating, and the wheels slip over the ground with 

 no possible chance for breakage. This means added life for the entire outfit. 



The Sturdy, Dependable, Fool-Proof Ideal Motor. — The power unit for the Ideal Power 

 Lawn Mower has been designed especially for the use to which it is put. It is a slow speed, single 

 cylinder motor with hit-and-miss governor, and jump spark ignition operating on dry cells in- 

 - stead of a magneto; in short, the logical motor for trus class of work — a motor that eliminates the 

 troubles that would surely result in operating a more complicated motor. The excessive vibration 

 of high speed engines makes them unsuited to trus duty, and tne motor employing a magneto is 

 undesirable as it requires'the attention of a skilled operator. 



The cutting unit is of the hand mower principle, only larger and of heavier construction. 

 There are five blades of hardened steel, tempered to hold a keen cutting edge. The bearings 

 Timkeit are made of ample size for long hie, and are provided with adjustment for wear. It 



requires but a few minutes to remove the mower 

 from the tractor, no special tools being necessary. 

 At a nominal extra cost, we furnish an extra cutting 

 unit. The purchase of this extra unit is advised, 

 for by having the extra unit you are never obliged 

 to lay the outfit up for sharpening or adjustments. 

 Further, changing frequently so as to always have 

 a sharp mower means longer life to your power unit, 

 as a free cutting mower does not throw any unusual 

 strain on the motor. 



Complete Control in Two Levers. — Here again, 

 simplicity marks the Ideal Power Lawn Mower. 

 In place of numerous clutches and levers, the Ideal 

 Power Lawn Mower operates with a single lever at 

 the operator's left hand. This lever actuates a 

 belt tightener which affords perfect control of the 

 machine at all times. This method is not only 

 simple, but also hignly desirable, because of the 

 safety feature afforded in case the cutter strikes 

 or picks up an obstruction another lever raises and 

 lowers the cutting unit.
