PLANET MOWER & REAPER COMBINED.
patented by VIM. F. Cochrane, formerly of
Springfield Ohio. The machine is nearly wholly
constructed OF iron, making it durable and
strong. The main frame and cutting box can be
raised by one lever without inconv enience to the
driver whilst sitting upon his seat, providing IA
cilities for thes machine to pass over stumps and
other obstructons of greater distance from the
ground than any other machine. The cutting
and swathing device can be folded
parallel together and both brought to occupy
compact position behind the driver and the rear
part Of the frame nearly within trail of the
d WING HEELS.
The same can be shipped without detaching any
of the parts, making it more convenient to be
handle by the merchant or stored away by the
farmer when the season for its use has passed.
Thd me chanical construction of the Machine
provides the means Of self adjustment in all its
MACHINERY SHAFT BEARINGS;
so that by the unserewing Of three nuts from the
cross gurders. the whole mechanism of the ma
chine can be presented in detail ca the field If
necessary, and any part at once renewed and re-
placed by the aid of the most ordinary opera
ton, without binding or cramping any part of
the mechanism OF the machine. In fact it is but
the work of two mon to take the machine in de-
tail from the shells Of the store room and put
the whole together in complete operation IN TWEEN
ty minutes time. The machine may be shipped
in square boxes circumscribing the diameter of
the driving wheels, deliSered on the field, where
the boxes may be opened and in twenty minutes
the machine from detail will be found for at
tachment of the horses.
Mr.. B. Foltz, of Springfield Ohio. of sixteen
years experience in the business, explaining his
opinion Of the superiority Of this machine, says
that without single exception the practical men
and farmers of that community acknowledge it
to surpass a II other machines, and that it. must
at an early day assume the position of the trium-
plant machine in the whole World.
