K ETCHUM'S IMPROVED MOWING MACHINE WITH 
entire change of gear. The only successful mower now 
known. 
Ivetchum’s Improved Machine, which we are building for 
the harvest of ’54, was thoroughly tested last season, and the 
advantages gained by our change of Gear are in all respects 
as we designed, viz: durability, convenience and ease of ac¬ 
tion. The shafts now have bearings at both ends, which 
overcomes all cramping and cutting away of boxes. Acounter 
balance is attached to the crank shaft, which gives it a steady 
and uniform motion. Each Machine can be thrown out of 
gear; there is great convenience in getting at each and 
every nut, all of them being on upper side of the frame : oil 
cups are attached to all the bearings, which, by the use of a 
wad of cotton, will hold oil for a long time, as well as protect 
the bearings from dust, grit, &c.; the finger bar is lined with 
iron its full width, which protects it from wear. 
These and various other additions for strength, durability, 
Ac., makes them the mostsimple and perfect agricultural im¬ 
plement in use. They weigh about 750 lbs. each, and can 
easily be carried in a one-horse wagon. 
They will cut ali, kinds of grass, and operate well on un¬ 
even or rolling lands, or where there are dead furrows. This 
Machine took the highest award, with special approbation, 
at the World’s Fair, it also received, during last season, one 
silver and four gold medals, and various other flattering and 
substantial testimonials of approval. We have spared nei¬ 
ther pains nor money to make them deserving of public favor, 
and hope to be able the coming season to supply the great 
and increasing demand. 
We take this occasion to caution farmers against buying 
untried Mowers, if they do (as was the case with many last 
year) they incur loss, vexation and disapointment. 
Kg'- In all cases where Extras are wanted, be sure to give 
US THE NUMBER OF YOUR MACHINE. 
(Warranty :) That said Machines are capable of cutting 
and spreading, with one span of horses and driver, from ten 
to fifteen acres per day of any kind of grass, and do it as 
well as is done with a scythe by the best of mowers.
