"Druid" Ball Bearing Lawn Mowen
WITH FOUR REVOLVING KNIVES, DRIVING WHEELS 10 INCHES
IN DIAMETER.
The superiority of B.\LIj BE.\EIXGS is now universally conceded, combining E.-\.SE OF
DEAFT with the least possible FRICTION.
The only requirement being that they must be thoroughly made and perfectly hardened.
In the " If Rl'lD " Lawn ^lower we offer a machine that in every respect is equal in work-
manship to the highest grade bicycle.
The Revolving Knives run on twenty-eight in. cast steel Balls, 14 at each end.
The Ball Races and Adjusting Cones are also made from cast steel, and perfectly hardened
and ground. As a result, the Mower runs easily, remains in adjustment, and does better
work than is possible with parallel bearings which tend to wear out of true and allow " lost
motion " to the knives.
The use of Ball Bearings in a Lawn Mower makes necessary a rigid frame.
The frame of the " 1.K17I1. " is constructed witli the greatest possible care, and is war-
ranted to hold the cutting edges true and in alignment, though subjected to the hardest use.
In .short, the " DRUID "IiAWN SIOWJEK is designed for a machine of higher grade
than has heretofore been attempted, and is offered as the perfection of Lawn Mowing Ma-
cliines.
HIGH -WHEEL.
-THE-
BALTIMORE HIGH WHEEL MOWER
DRIVING WHEELS. 9 INCHES DIAMETER. CUTTING CYLINDER, 6
INCHES DIAMETER, WITH FOUR KNIVES.
For e-xtreme EASE OF OPERATION, SIMPLICITY, DrEABILITY, DESIGN
AND FINISH THE BAI.Tl?IOBE HIOH WHKEl.
MOWEB is unsurpassed.
All of the essential features in best lawn mower construction have been incorpor-
ated in the B Al,TI.lI.mE. It has the Patent Rocker Adjusting Journals for the
cutting cylinder, compensating for wear upon all sides of the shaft; patent double-
bearing, double-toothed Ratchet and Pawl connection, which positively avoid all
friction while the Mower is in operation, and thereby causing it to run much easier
than any other machines, (with one exception, the "DRUID"). It is made of first-
class material and workmanship, and will do the most perfect work.
THE
Maryland Regular Mowers, No. 1.
The Eatchet on this machine
is simple and positive, liaving
for a pawl a Solid Steel Ball',
which w orks in a pocket in the
pinion wlien the macliine is
not in motion, and by the ac-
tion of the pinion "when in
motion this ball is thrown
into a corresponding pocket,
in the back cap, which locks
the two together, ttius driving
the reel. The CUTTEE B.\R
is of solid steel and lias no cast
iron parts. The adjustment is
from the reel, and is perfectly
simple. It is not necessary to
turn the mower upside down
to adjust it. Having a reel adjustment, the Cutter Bar is bolted firmly to the
machine, and therefore holds the mower firmly in line. The Cutter Bar adds
strength to the mower instead of weakening it.
All parts are interchangeable, and In case of wear or breakage, can be at once
duplicated. Diameter of Traction Wheel, 8'j inches. Diameter of 'Wheel, 5'j'
inches. Made in 12, 14, 16 and 18 inch sizes. Painted in Eed and Green and
decorated in Gold.
