All hearings are held in positive aligTimeiit by a one-piece frame -which is accu- 

 ratelj' bored in one operation by a lathe especially designed for the purpose, 

 Power is evenly applied from both wheels, 



Strong-, perfectly meslied g-ears transmit the po-wer to the knife with compara- 

 tively no friction loss. Being made with large teeth, they wear long. 



Splendid balance obtains. The gearing is located back of the axle, where, aided 

 by drawing the machine from beneath the pole, it sucessfully balances the cutting 

 apparatus. 



The knife -works without clogging-. Its head travels in a close fitting bearing on 

 the inner shoe for which the head is specially milled and its sections are 

 held to their work by a series of malleable clips. . 



Self -aligning pitman bearings, consisting of a double spoon at the lower 

 end of the pitman which clasps the ball of the knife head and a double cone 

 at the upper end which swivels in the pitman box, keep the pitman and 

 knife properly aligned at all times. 



A perfectly lined cutter bar enables, the knife to work effectively. Both 

 the guards and the bar itself are planed or milled to fit one another perfectly. 

 This assures an alignment that is not otherwise possible to get. 



The swatbboard vibrates. It is controlled by a thick, flat, steel spring 

 which imparts a vibratory motion to it and 

 thus enables it to always clear a good track 

 without bunching the hay. 



Axnple speed to cut clean. The speed of the 

 gearing is such that the forward advance 

 of the cutter bar is only about 1% inches for 

 each stroke of the knife. Clean cutting is 

 thus alwavs assured and yet because of the 

 high, broad-faced, well-lugged wheels, the per- 

 fect alignment of all parts, the splendid bal- 

 ance and the use of roller and self -aligning 

 bearings, the draft is never excessive.

 Steel Hay Rake 



This mower is especially designed for a strictly 

 one-horse machine and -svell supplies the need of 

 those who require one of that kind. It has am- 

 ple weight and traction to cut all kinds of hay 

 crops and yet, is of such construction that one 

 horse handles it easily. Light draft is one of 

 its salient features and in combination with 

 power and durability, makes it good equipment. 



Main frame is in one piece, accurately bored 

 to hold the gears and shafting in positive align- 

 ment. 



Roller bearings are used for both the main axle 

 and the cross shaft where they reduce the fric- 

 tion to a minimum. 



A simple, powerful gearing system located back 

 of the main axle, where it counteracts the weight 

 of the cutting apparatus, transmits the power to 

 the knives through a crank shaft which is fitted 

 with separate removable boxes — a brass one at 

 the front and a self-aligning cast iron one at the 

 rear. 



Cutter bar is of cold rolled steel fitted with 

 malleable guards and shoes jill of which are care- 

 fully aligned to insure the knife working prop- 

 erly. Steel plates take the wear of the knife and 

 malleable Caps hold it in line 



Convenient levers control the bar and enable 

 placing it in any position that may be necessary. 

 If desired, you can, by" means of the raising lever, 

 fold the bar to a vertical position without getting 

 out of the seat. A simple automatic throw-out 

 device, mounted on the bevel wheel shaft, works 

 in connection with the lever. 



Strength, convenience of op- 

 eration and efficient work in 

 the field are pronounced fea- 

 tures of this rake. It is built 

 almost entirely of steel, is well 

 adapted for both heavy and 

 light hay and can be dumped 

 either by hand or by an auto- 

 matic trip controlled by the 

 foot, as desired. 



StlS, steel 

 angles are 

 used for both 

 rake head and 

 •the draw 

 frame. 



The trip rod 

 is of high car- 

 b o n steel, in 

 one piece, and 

 is well sup- 

 ported. 



The teeth are of special steel, oil tempered, and will interchange. A coil near their 

 upper ends enables them to spring back and u-d without breaking when encountering 

 obstructions. 



The wheels are of steel, of good height and are mounted on removable steel stub axles 

 which are securely fastened to the rake head.
