The Ideal Power Lawn Mower 



The principle of the Ideal Power Mower is the same as that of the ord'nary 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 ajrle of the 

 machine. It is pivoted so that it always has a free tilting motion, and the wheels 

 adapt themselves to an 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 

 of breakage. This means added life for the entire outfit.

The "4 -ACRE" Mowers 



The "4-ACRE" Power Lawn Mowers, comprising two models as listed below, are 

 the lightest in weight and most compact of any mowers on the market. They are 

 equipped with powerful especially designed motors', efficient cooling systems, two 

 heavy fly wheels, high tension magnetoes. especially designed carburetors and auto 

 matic lubrication. The power is transmitted from the engine to the wheels and 

 cutting reels by means of cone clutches — operated independently 

 of each other. A differential enclosed in one wheel makes steering 

 very' easy and fatigue from twisting and wrestling around corners 

 is unknown to operators of 4-ACRE machines. The motor is well 

 muffled and with the gears running in oil 

 the machine is practicallv noiseless. '

The Moto-Mower 



Compact, Simple, and Economical 



If a lawn is too large to be mown profitably with a hand 

 mower — or is dotted with trees — also if it contains many sharp 

 angles or tight corners, then it simply needs a MOTO-MOWEH 

 to do the work. A list of users will be gladly furnished to any 

 one who desires this information. 



The Moto-Mower is light in weight and sturdy in construc- 

 tion. The engine is strong, durable, and of simple design. 

 It is the 4-cycle valve in head type and develops '1' 2 horse- 

 power. The crank and cam shafts are made of chrome nickel 

 steel, accurately machined, and bearing parts are finely ground. 

 The carburetor and magneto are specially designed to develop 

 maximum power. 



The mower frames are constructed of malleable iron, the 

 frame rods are rolled steel. The cutting cylinder is built of 

 extra heavy and wide blades, oil hardened and tempered, and 

 runs on Timpken Roller Bearings. The pressed steel traction 

 wheels have individual clutches that are operated from the 

 handle bars. These clutches arc the dry plate type, such as 

 arc now used on the majority of automobiles A safety clutch 

 guanls the machine from injury, should a stone or other ob- 

 struelion become caught in the cutting reel. The lubrication 

 of Ine Moto-Mower requires little attention; a splash circu- 

 lating system takes care of all of the vital motor parts con- 

 tained in the crank case and the clutches and wheel bearings 

 are lubricated by oil cups. 



The performance of the Moto-Mower is all that can be de- 

 sired. It cuts a swath 21 or 27 inches wide (see below) and can 

 be raised or lowered from V 4 ' to3'i inches. It will cut 4 to 5 

 acres of lawn a day and climb a 35 per cent grade on a gasoline 

 consumption of only about one gallon per day. It therefore 

 combines efficiency of operation with economy of cost. 



We offer the following two sizes: 21-inch cut complete, 

 5188.00. 27-inch cut complete, 5275.00.
