The Ideal Power 
Lawn Mower 
THE IDEAL MOWER FOR GOLF COURSES, 
ATHLETIC FIELDS, PARKS AND 
LAWNS LARGE AND SMALL 
MADE IN TWO SIZES— 
22-INCH AND 30- 
INCH CUT 
The principle 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 
whichit is put. It isa slow speed, single cylinder 
Motor with hit-and-miss governor, and jump spark

work—a motor that eliminates the troubles that : See ;

or. otted mcaThe excessive vibration of high speed : : 
engines makes them unsuited to this duty, and the 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 Timken are made of ample size for long life, and are provided with adjustment for wear. It requires but a few minutes to 
Temove 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 this extra unit you are never obliged to lay the outfit up for sharpening or adjustments. Further, changing frequently so 3 
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. Sa 
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 highly desirable, because of the safety feature afforded in case the cutter strikes or picks up an obstruction 
another lever raises and lowers the cutting unjt.

The “4 Acre’? Motor Driven Lawn Mower 
The 4-Acre Power Lawn Mower is the smallest, and most compact power mower on the market. It weighs 
only 200 pounds and occupies a space of 18 x 35 inches, when not in use. It cuts a swath of grass 24 inches wide 
and travels by its own power at the rate of 3 miles per hour, which gives it a cutting capacity of four acres per day. 
Low operating cost and big cutting capacity are the pre-eminent features of this mower. The me- 
chanical simplicity of the entire mower is such, that only the ability to crank the motor and steer the machine 
is necessary to operate it successfully. 
The 4-Acre Power Mower is equipped with a small powerful especially designed motor with 27 4 inch 
bore by 2% inch stroke, and is speeded at 1000 revolutions per minute. There are only three uains 
parts in the motor, and they run in a heavy mixture of oil, assuring long life. It has regulation open 
port valves, and is equipped with self-adjusting packing rings. The 4-Acre Motor has 
a very efficient cooling system furnished by two heavy fly wheels which are provided 
with fan blades on the inner sides. A specially designed carburetor insures a properly 
balanced mixture. The tank is mounted directly on top of the carburetor. The igni- 
tion is furnished with a high tension magneto that gives a constant spark which fires on 
every stroke. Lubrication is automatically furnished in the form of a fine spray. 
The power of The 4-Acre Mower is transmitted from the engine to the traction, 
wheels and cutting reel through two ‘‘cone type’’ clutches, working independently of 
each other. Traction can be obtained without revolving cutting reel, thus making it 
possible to cross graveled drives, sidewalks, etc., without danger of obstructions injuring 
knives. In case any sticks or stones become caught in the cutter blades while machine 
is in operation the reel clutch will slip leaving the knives uninjured. It is a pleasure to 
walk behind this machine guiding it up and down the long stretches of lawn, in and out 
among the bushes, shrubs, trees, paths and flower beds, leaving no spots untouched to be 
finished with hand mowers. A miniature differential enclosed in one wheel makes the 
steering as easy as that of an automobile. The fatigue from twisting and wrestling ; = 
around corners is unknown to operators of the ‘‘4-Acre.”’ The ‘‘4-Acre” Power Mower

New Small Size j,ASSE Lawn Mower 
The 19-inch Power Lawn Mower has been designed especially for moderately large lawns, or lawns broken up with numerous obstructions. It has: a capa- 
city of fully two acres per day, weighs only 170 pounds and is as easy to handle as an ordinary hand mower. i 
The cutting reel is power driven, as is also the traction wheels, and with clutch controls at the steering handle, it is an easy matter to guide the mower- 
It will cut grass as long as it ever should be allowed to grow, and will work on terraces that cannot be negotiated by heavier types of power lawn mowers. If 
sticks or stones become caught in the cutting unit, no harm is done to any parts as the reel clutch will slip. It will operate all day on less than a gallon of 
gasoline and easily does the work of two to three men. 
It is guaranteed: to operate satisfactorily and to be free from defects. Itslowcost is due entirely to its simplicity of construction. The mower is SUBTLE com- — 
plete with grass catcher and tools ready to operate. PRICE—$180.00. :
