Deering Mower Assets
A THOROUGHLY dcpendabla mower is a big
asset a t having time. A good mower should be
able to cut grass in any condition satisfactorily, and in this
respect the veering: new ideu is a pronounced leader.
Tha flexible movement of the cutter bar which permits close en
catting
ever rough ground, the) one-piece main frame with all holes drilled in
one operation to secure perfect alignment ot parts, the covered gears -and
the special quality steel bail and roller bearings, etc
Still another point the ledger plate on the Deering mower extends
. the full length of tho cutting surface of tho guard, giving the advantage. ;
of a complete ebear cot, whether the knife section u old or new. This
does away witn an clogging ot tbe grass between the knite section and
tha rear end of the ledger plate.
