ably take a II or IS horsepower
gasoline motor. If you use an cleo
trio motor you will need a long cord.
This should be a rubber covered
cord about 100 feet long. 1t should
not be smaller than No. Is wire.
Handling Cord
The electric cord will never get
in your way if you always move
away from it. For example, if you
plug it in at the house, start cutting
near the house and make back and
forth swaths away from the house.
Do not try to go around and around.
At the ends, always turn away from
the cord and not toward it.
An electric lawn mower will cut
a large size lawn with less than 2
cents worth of electricity. The long
cord will make some drop in voltage.
When the above pictured lawn
mower was tested, the voltage drop
was about 3 percent at full load,
which is fairly high, but within the
allowable limit.
Converting your old lawn mower
will be a pleasant pastime for the
not-so-busy winter months and will
save hours of hard work and pre-
cious time next summer.

Make Your Own Power
Lawn Mower
By E. B. WILSON
Extension Agricultural Engineer

MOTOR DRIVEN lawn mowers
are becoming more and more pop
ular and many good lawn mowers,
powered by both gasoline and cleo
trio motors, are on the market. If
you have an old lawn mower and
either a gasoline or an electric motor,
it is not very difficult to put the two
together.
One way to do it is to build a
bracket which attaches to the lawn
mower on the same bolts as the
roller. (See the top picture.) This
bracket should be about 8 inches
high and as long as the lawn mower
is wide. Three or four holes in each
end for adjustment are advisable.
To hold the motor, bend a pair of
heavy irons to reach from this
bracket to the brace rod which ex-
tends between the wheels in front
of the cutter bar. These irons should
be rather heavy so that they will not
bend with the weight of the motor
and the tension of the belt. Irons rs
inch thick and ~ inches wide were
used on the lawn mower in the pic
ture.
Installing Pulley
Get a v-belt pulley that is almost
as big in diameter as the reel. A s.
inch pulley was used on this lawn
mower The type without a hub is
easiest to install by welding the rim
to the end of each reel bar. In order
to make room for this pulley it will
be necessary to cut from "a TO l
inch off the end of each reel bar.
This can easily be done with an
ordinary hack saw.
In order to make the motor pull
the wheels as well as the cutting
reel, take off the lawn mower wheels
and reverse the pinion gears and
the pins. That is, put the left pinion
on the right side and the right
pinion on the left side and reverse
the pins so that the reel will pull the
wheels instead of the wheels pulling
the reel.
For an ordinary 16 or Is inch lawn
mower, a IA horsepower electric
motor is large enough. 1t will prob

Weld Hacking" Tip
By w. r. S~CHAPHORST

NOW THAT so many farm shops
are equipped with welding outfits
of n kind or another, here is an
excellent kink for use when it is
desired to hold pieces of metal to-
gether immovably. For example,
should you want to drill identical
sets of holes through two or more
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-03-01

pieces of metal with the utmost ac-
curacy, this method a often be
used to advantage.
AS shown in the sketch, place the
pieces to be drilled on top of each
other and then tack" them together
as indicated, on opposite sides. There
will then be no slipping or moving
of the pieces with relation to one
another as is too often the case
where they are held together in
the old-fashioned name Clamps
don't always hold perfectly as every
reader knows, and, further, the
work is harder to handle when en-
numbered with clamps.
