Champion Haymaker. 
LIGHT 
DRAFT, 
NOISELESS 
BROAD 
TREAD, 
DURABLE, 
The remarkable feature of this Mower is the NEW MECHANICAL MOVE¬ 
MENT for driving the knife. It possesses more strength and durability than any of the best systems of gearing 
heretofore in'use for this purpose, and does away with nearly all the noise ! »vd friction common 
thereto; the direct results being 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 curing; 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 up 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 
may 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. 
Tlie. noiseless operation of the. Haymaker at the Centennial Trial, the perfect con trolability by the operator, and 
light di:a(f, wonfheu.dmiratioh of all.the spectators and exhibitors, and it was conceded to-be an advance step over 
all other machines. For further particulars address
