IMPROVED HARVESTER. The accompanying illustration represents a mowing machine or harvester in which the several arrangements for imparting motion to the cutter for adjusting its bight and for turning it out of the way when not in use are of an entirely novel character. It belongs to that class of machines which have vilwatory cutters and will be readily understood by examining the cut. The circular frame-work A which supports the cutter cular frame A it is held in place by the latch H ; in turning the frame G up this latch-is lifted out of its which is bent back and presses one end of an elbowed lever the other end of which passes loosely through the The axle of the carriage is made in two pieces the piece n which has the driving wheel and frame A at its end being bent lc as to pass up through a slot in the LUTHER'S IMPROVED HARVESTER. outside the driving wheel B friction rollers a a a a be ing interposed to allow the wheel B to revolve easily inside the frame A. Motion is imparted to the vibra ting cutter C by means of a small pinion which meshes into the gear on the driving wheel the shaft of the pin cutter is attached to the frame G which is hinged upon shown by the dotted lines by bringing down the lever of obstructions when the machine is being taken to and from the held.

The end of the bar is inclined at a small angle from a right angle so that when the hook is placed in the slot on the opposite tached to its opposite end. This piece of the axle is joined by a hinge near the wheel B to the end of that piece of tile axle which carries the wheel I at its oppo site end.
