A Decided Improvement in Harvesting Machinery. 
Champion Haymaker. 
LIGHT 
DRAFT, 
NOISELESS, 
BROAD i^(^ 
TREAD, 
DURABLE, ^^^ 
The remarkable feature Of this Mower is the NEW MECHANICAL MOVE- 
MENT for driving the knife. It possesses rnore '^tl■ength and durability than any of the best systems of gearing 
heretofore in nse for this pnrpose, and does away "'i'^ nearly all the nOise ^"d friction common 
thereto; the direct results ijeing extreme lightness of draft, and greatly increased 
cutting power. Some of the other peculiar advantages are— ample width and clearance between the wheels, 
there being no obstruction from the connecting rod, leaving the grass in most favorable condition for cnring; sim- 
plified construction ; that the cutting apparatus can be lifted at either end, or to an upright position, while the knife 
is in motion, and is hooked np with one movement of the lever, and that all parts are made interchangable. 
The tilting or turning the guards up or down Is done by means of a lever 
conveniently arranged near the operator, whereby the points of the fingers 
nnay be turned down or up instantly, while cutting. 
This Machine received an award of Medal and Diploma at the Centennial Exposition in 1876, for latest improve- 
ment in Mowing Machinery and new and novel manner of gearing. 
The noiseless operation of the Haymaker at the Centennial Trial, the perfect control ability by the operator, and 
light draft, won the admiration of all the spectators and exhibitors, and it was conceded to-be an advance step over 
all other machines. For further particulars address
