1951 'Jeep' Farm Mower Brochure

This mower in this brochure looks like a Newton design. It's form FS-514100.

Newton brochure from the late 1940s (See five early mowers here):

Dave I think it is a Newton - http://www.ewillys.com/wp-content/uploads2/2017/03/newton-power-mower-brochure-lores1.jpg based on the long arch of the top-link. Barry

Hi Barry, Funny thing is, when I first compared the mowers, I concluded the same thing. Then, while writing the post, I felt it was more like the Newgren (Why, I'm not sure). On further review, I can't see why I changed my mind. I've updated the post. Thanks! - Dave

I was sure it was going to be a Newgren mower. The plows, "earth moving" scoop and blade were definitely Newgren. But then the corn picker and "tool bar" showed up and I started to take a closer look. I think the Farm Sales Department deserves a lot more study. Thanks again for posting these. Fun that new clues keep showing up. Barry
