Il is again offered to the Farm
ers of Montgomery county, as be-
S yond doubt the very best and most
thoroughly efficient and reliable
Reaping and Moving Machine in
S the world. Each succeeding years
experience. as it is brought more
in contact with tho various other
s machines, has so tended to this
conclusion until it has now become
AFFIXED FACT.
S II is perfectly simple and well
proportional, having weight and
strength where they should be-
S The side draft is now as nearly
done away with as it can be in any
good machine.
S The Position Of the Raker in this
machine is the only right one, be-
cause the agcigM Of The nun Is upon
S The main acheel, where it should be,
daiiag Just so mach 10 as poorer,
and where there is strength in the
S machine to carry this additional
weight. When the raler is placed
behind on the platform, as in Man
s ny's and some other reapers, it is
so much weight taken off the main
wheel, where it is important, and
- placed upon the weaker part Of the
machine, to be borne By the small
wheel and platform, increasing
S greatly the liability to rack and
wear out the machine. This sin
gle point, independently Of Others
s equally important, viii account foi
the much greater reliability and
duTabi{ity Of Mccormick smachine,
S which with proper care will last
25 years, whilst many Of its rival
machines may not be expected to
is do service one-fourth that time.
In raising and lowering the cut.
ting apparatus, ii retains its hori-
IS rontal position, (Which is not so in
most other machines, hence the
cutting is equally perfect at every
IS different height-whilst in Now
ing, by n single joint movement
the cutting bar is made TO adapt
IS itself TO the inequalities Of the
ground.
This machine isso balanced that
IS there is no weight on the horses
necks--a very important point.
The Angle on the fingers OF
IS guards admits of the sickle being
made with very slight indentations,
This popularity in shape of both
IS guard and sickle, in connexion
with the reap-hook edge Of sickle,
enables the machine to do its work
- perfectly, in all kinds Of grain OF
grass, in every state and condition
and at any speed, without being
liable to break Or gun.
The Rim. of Main Wheel is much
wider than that of any other reap
err. This is most important, espe-
cially in wet seasons and on soft
s land.
Thesimple arrangements for pro
tccting the cog-wheels from sand,
S mud and cut grass are very eff.
Glen. and highly important.
The cut of machine for 1853 is
s fuH si1 feet. The boxes are sim
plifed and the plan of securing the
taps is greatly improved.
s Self-Rakers and other machines
do well when all things suit them.
McCormick's machine suits all
S states and conditions, and alpays
does aceH.
M5- Special attention is asked
s TO McCormick's TWO-H0RSE
REAPERS & MOWERS for 1853.
They are in all respects the same as
S the 4-horse machine, but reduced
in weight, and cut full FIVE feet
Admirably adapted for smaller
5 farmers. Several hundred were
sold and used last year, and with
the greatest satisfaction.
S At the Great National Trial OF
Reapers, at Syracuse, last harvest,
the U. S. National Agricultural
5 Society awarded to Mccormick the
Gold Medal and Diploma for best
reaper, after severe contest in
5 difficult work.
lS- As heretofore, I will de-
liver the machines at all stations
on the lines of Railroads and Canal,
and give personal attention to the
fitting up and seeing them under
way, and every machine warrant
ed in the fullest manner.
