ALLEN’S PATENT MOWER 
THE MOST PERFECT MACHINE YET INVENTED. 
r^HIS MACHINE was patented in 1852, and has been used by a large number of intel- 
-JL ligent farmers for twe seasons; and so superior has it proved itself over all others, that it is now greatly preferred wherever 
known. 
This superiority consists: 
1st. In perfectly cutting any kind of grass, whether fine or coarse, lodged or standing, and Salt Meadows as well as upland. 
2d. Owing to the form of the knife and its rasp patent, it does not clog even in the finest grass. 
3u. The gearing being hung on horizontal shafts and justly balanced, enables the mower to run perfectly true in a straight or 
curved line and with one-third less draught than any other yet made. It also runs with much less noise, and with no jerking 
motion, in consequence of the knife beingoperated by a wheel instead ofa crank. The knife can be taken off or put on ina moment, 
without the necessity of passing it through the arms of the driving-wheel. This is a very great convenience, and obviates a seri¬ 
ous objection to Mowing Machines. 
4th. The superior gearing enables the knife to play with sufficient rapidity to do its work well, at a speed of not over two and a 
half to three miles per hour. Most other Mowers require the team to walk at the rate of four miles per hour, which is very dis¬ 
tressing to the horses. 
5th. A smaller wheel is attached to this Mower, by a spring axle, which runs parallel with the driving-wheel. This enables 
the machine when thrown out of gear, to be driven over the field or along the road as readily as if hung on a pair of wagon* 
wheels. 
6 th. A reaping-board can be*attaclied when required, thus making it a Reaper or Mower, as desired. 
7tli. This Mower is made in the most perfect manner, and is guaranteed to give satisfaction. 
WARRANTY. 
ALLEN’S MOWER is warranted to cut and spread from len to fifteen acres per day, in a workmanlike manner, with a good 
pair of horses and driver. One day’s trial is allowed for the Mower, and in case any thing proves defective within this time, due 
notice must be given to me, and time allowed to send a person to repair it. If it does not work after this, and the fault is in 
the machine, it will be taken back and the money paid for it refunded, or a perfect Mower will be given in its place, at the option 
of the purchases. ... ' 
With the Reaper Attachment, it is warranied to cut from twelve to eighteen acres of grain per day, with a good pair of horses, 
driver and raker.
