Besides being great savers of time and expense, the beneficial and beautifying results to the lawn obtained by the constant rolling of the heavy rollers is in itself sufficient to warrant their use. Model ‘‘J.’’ A four-cylinder 1917 model motor furnishes the power for the Coldwell Model ‘J’? Motor Lawn Mower. The machine is also equipped with Mayo radiator, gas tanks and bonnets, Cleveland worm gear drive and Coldwell cutters. All gears are enclosed and run in dust-proof cases. It has 50 per cent. less wearing parts than any other motor lawn mower made. The gears and sprockets are all cut from the finest of steel for the purpose. Model ‘J’? can be speeded up to six miles an hour and will easily negotiate 25 per cent grades. Weight of machine, 2,000 Ibs. Weight on 40-inch drive rollers, 1,100 Ibs. Price, $1300. (F.O. B. Newburgh, N. Y.) ‘“*‘WALK’’? TYPES—MODELS ‘‘G”’ AND ‘‘H”’. Simplicity more than anything else, has been sought in this model. Mechanical experience is not necessary to operate it and it can be cared for by anyone. In using this machine you simply have to guide the mower negotiating any grade that a horse mower can be used on, and running a keen 30” or 35” cutter over 6 to 8 acres per day. Model ‘‘H”’ 30-inch cut weighs 900 Ibs. Model ‘‘G’’ (same type), 35-inch cut, weighs 1000 lbs. The operating handles are also used for raising and lowering the cutter unit over obstacles.
