The Walter A. Wood 

 Tubular Steel Mowers. 



Wood one-horse mowers cut a swath 3 feet 6 

 inches or 4 feet ; Wood two-horse mowers cut a 

 swath 4 feet 3 inches or 4 feet 6 inches ; with our 

 patent axle extension, 5 feet or 6 feet ; Wood giant 

 mowers cut 5 feet, 6 feet 

 or 7 feet, without patent 

 extension axle. Three es- 

 pecial points of superior- 

 ity are found in all Wood ""^^^g") 

 mowers : The floating 

 frame, the centralized 

 draft and the improved 

 foot-lift. 



The main frame of the 

 Wood mower supporting 

 the cutter-bar swings 

 freely from the axle. Set 

 your cutter-bar at the de- 

 sired height, and up hill 

 and down hill, through 

 hollows and over ridges it 

 will cut all the grass at 

 that same height until 

 readjusted. The floating 

 frame does this. Only 

 Wood mowers have float- 

 ing frames. 



The tilt-lever 

 is right at the 

 hand of the op- 

 erator, and, like 

 all Wood levers, 

 operates easily 

 and instantly. 



We furnish 

 either cast or 

 steel -wheels. 



WOOD MOWERS PULL DIRECT FROM THE DRAFT ROD 



Under the tongue attached to a point in the main frame proved to be the 

 exact center of draft. The horses pull the cutter-bar and the truck follows 

 after. No pulling whatever is done by the tongue ; consequently, no weight 

 on your fiorses' necks. 



The Wood improved foot-lift raises the cutter-bar in a line full 20 inches- 

 does it instantly and easily. 



At its most distant point the foot-lever is easily reached from the seat. A 

 slight pressure raises the bar above all ordinary obstacles — stumps and 

 stones. The machine stays in gear. Release the pressure on foot-lift and 

 the bar drops immediately. 



A range of 5% inches in the tilt of the cutter-bar makes cutting close to 

 the ground easy.

Centtiry Corn Binder. 



It will cut on any ground that a team can travel, and 

 operates as well on a side hill as on the level. It is 

 tilted to conform to uneven ground by a lever placed 

 close to the seat, and has a raising and lowering device 

 with a range of 15 inches. One pair of ordinary horses 

 can work it all day— and it is an easy machine on both 

 driver and team. 



Has a wide-faced, all-steel, 40-inch drive wheel of 

 enormous strength, that turns on roller bearings. 

 (Compare the height of this wheel with that of other 

 corn-binder wheels.) 

 It has a one-piece main frame of heavy steel sur- 

 rounding this wheel and making a substantial foundation for the machine. 



It has an extra large balance-wheel, with a six-inch throw, driving a knife 

 with two large sections ; but most of the cutting is done by two sharp blades 

 attached to the sides of the stalk-passage, against which blades the stalks are 



drawn before they reach the knife proper. 

 These are easily removed for sharpening.
