The ifohn Deere Dain Mower
is the mower with the "compensating" or bal
anced gears one of the simplest, most powerful
transmissions ever devised for a mower. No
power is lost in transmission from axel to knife.
That is why the John Deere Dain cuts all the
grass on any ground over which a mower can be
operated. Cultivators are getting harder to get
deliveries on every day. We still have plenty of
Jennie-Lind and Jhon Deere Walkers and a few
Riding Cultivators in stock. Better get busy and
let us show you what we have got.
