Improved Champion Mower The MOST PERFECT and PRACTICAL Piece of Fans Machinery THAT HAS EVER BEEN INTRODUCED. The mechanical principles embodied in this Mower arc entirely new, and have made it possible to remedy the defects that are well known to exist on the old style machines. It will pay any farmer who is in need of a Mower to examine the IMPROVED CHAMPION— the most perfect and practical.of machines— AND IT IS SO WARRANTED! The DRIVE WHEELS are high and wide apart, insuring steadiness of motion and light draft. There is NO FRAME WORK hanging down in front to bunch up the cut grass or run into obstructions. There is NO FLYWHEEL LOW DOWN on which the grass can wind. This is a serious objection.ito tho old-style mowers. The POTTER IS APPLIED DIRECTLY and without a joint from tho main gear to tho pitman, and ALL OF THE POWER is used in cutting the grass,—none is wasted on loose joints and fast-running gearing. THE PITMAN WORKS ON A STRAIGHT LINE, AND THE POWER APPLIED AT ONE END IS ALL TRANSFERRED TO THE KNIFE. The CUTTER BAR can bo folded while tho knife is in motion, which is very important where there are stumps or trees. Tho Cutter" Bar may raise or lower at either eud, and yet tho knife will work perfectly free without binding or extra friction or wear. This in a measure explains why there are no broken knife heels and no broken pitmans on the CHAMPION Mowers. REMEMBER that the parts that have given the most trouble on the old-style mowers ARE WARRANTED NOT TO BREAK NOR WEAR OUT on this wonderful mower.
