Timely Repairs Mean
Better Mower Service
cular may be secured from the
county agent’s office or by writ

at Clemson.

One of the best investments a
farmer can make is timely repairs
and adjustments to the mower,
says County Agent M. A. Bouk
night. Good care increases the
life of the mower, reduces the
draft, and improves the quality of
work done. Loss of time from
breakdowns is also reduced when
the mower is kept in good running
condition.
The “heart” of the mower is
the cutter-bar assembly, where
probably 90 per cent of all mower
troubles originate, the agent de
clares. A good job of cutting re-,
quires that the cutter-bar and
guard plates be in proper align
ment. The knife should be sharp
and centered so it will register
properly. It is also important
that the knife sections rest flat on
the guard plates in order to give
a smooth cutting action.
Mr. Bouknight advises that
farmers who are interested in
checking their mowers for needed
repairs and adjustments can find
some very helpful information in
Extension Circular 173, Mower Re
pairs and Adjustments. This cir-
