run much easier, nth no mdterialside-draf. This
cannot be well understood, without being seen.
Tut is nevertheless so, AND SO GUARANTEED.
| We present, therefore, for 1860, the four
horse machine, the widest cut of all Reapers
and Mowers, before the public, and the 2-horse
machine, one foot wider than those Of most
makes, nth light drgf for two horses in
Reaping and Moving. lighter than is required
! for much ndrrolCer machines
improvements are added TO the " McCoR-
MICK" only as the result Of a long and PRAC-
TIcAL experience at Chicago, and the farmers
are not asked to buy what has not been fully
proUed by actual working.
! THE IMPROVEMENTS FOR 1860, ARE,
FIRST'-A more compact frame; thus de-
creasing its width, while increasing its strength;
at the same time allowing mdterial reduction
IA aeeigM.
SECOND-So changing the shape of main
frame, that in connection with other improve
ments, the side draft is almost entirely dis
pensed with, and the Rdker is brought almost
foot nearer his cork, thus greatly tightening the
laJor Of raking off,
III New fingers, shorter and narrower,
but Akr and stronger-thus more penetrat
ing, yCs with same ansl as before, and other
wise improved 50 as to suit the new sickle.
FUURTH-And Most {mportant--A LIGHTER
DRIVER AND SIcKLE--, nus permitting an increase
Of mOton not practicable in any other machine
The rear and tear Of ! Reaper or Mower is oc-
casioned mainiy by the weish and motion of
the sickle. The Improved Driver and Sickle

horses.
The slight indentation and peculiar cut of
slciIe, with the combination OF the Spedr-Shdpod
fingers in the " AcCJrmlck," gives ii this adj
vantage, ard it is one or paramount Importance
10 Tie faraler. As proof OF what is stated, we
ask you to weigh the sickle and driver OF other
machines. Owing 10 improvements Of 1860, an
increased motion Of sickle of one-fiith is OBJ
tanned, without danger Of breakingo Or requiring
additional puwer-hence can do GOOD aCork at
ever SO SLOW speed. This is an important ad-
vantage la difficult moving
Firlti--So changing the fingers as to dis
pense with the lip Or sIcklerest heretofore on
every alternate finger. The back OF the sickle
now resting wholly upon the finger beam,
working i'll II ciUse grooye-tddihg To tie
sickle, on Its upper surface, series ofcieats or
cutters, which, ut every motion OF the SICKLE eff
icctuaily clean out every thing that might col
lect Or hang and cause a choke. This improve
ment is haghiy important in moving in fine
thick tovgh grass, especially iehen ,eei, enabling
1t TO do It's work perfectly, Witdca liability to
clog.
SIXTH--A Caster Wheel, upon an entirely
new principle, has been added 10 the grain-side
OF the machine, 'oholty retieging the horses from,
pressure and machine from strain in turning
aud materially lessening side-draft.
SENkNTfl-A Lever shipper, for throwing in
and out of gear
EiGHTll-The machine is now so perfectly
balanced, that in connection with the patent
semi-ininted tongue tie cutting apparatus is
completely and easily hro,cn Deer o5strRctions
while in moiion--slnply by the weight of the
driver while in his placc-thus dispensing with
all levers and complicated ariangtu enis 10 eff
feet the same object in other machines. This
obyiates an objection urged against the Nc
CormicA' as Il Mower-and will be found to
work perfectly without endangering the dura-
bility of the machine.
| NlNTH-The shield or guard TO the spur or
main cog wheel is attached to the bride so
that in raising and lowering the cutting appa-
ratus, it movcs with the bride, ONE MINUTE now
being all sufficient to make change of height
Of cutting.
TEN1il--Angle Board dispensed with. and
replaced by an adjustable iron rod.
ELEN ENTll-New Scraper Board arrange
Enthusiastically clearing the track, and sepn-
rating the cut from the standing grass, in
moving.
TW ELFTH-Substitutin for the leather
strap chain band for working the reel, which
will not fly.
TlilRTEENTII-On of the most striking
features in the GO-machine is an ingenious ar
raneement dispensing 1eiH plaitorm and raler, a
little boy catching the grain on rod and de-
posting the gayel in the rear; this arrangement
has been well tested for two years in the West,
and has worked with great success itreduces
the weighto of the machine very maierially-(it
must he borne in mind, however that in using
this fixture, the delivery is in the rear, and the
binding must be kept up The cost Of this
fixture will be $500 extra, or the purchaser
may, at the same price, select either the platform
or rod.
The improvements above named in connection
with the well known efficiency and thorough
reliability of the Mccormick" heretofore.
beyond all doubt places it NAL the substantial
requirements gfsa good Reaper and No,cer, far
ahead of all other machines
