Five Mowers for Early Jeeps

There were several mowers developed for the early jeep. Some mounted on the side and some in the rear. Here are the ones I have so far:

1. NEWTON MOWER: Built by H. G. & S. Manufacturing out of Wisconsin, this mower relied on the Monroe Lift for mounting. Skilled users could attach this mower in only one minute, according the brochure.

2. NEWGREN POWER MOWER: Made by Newgren Company out of Butler, Pennsylvania. It mounted on the rear. (Later, this was marketed as the 'Jeep" Farm Mower)

3. TURNER MOWER: Turner of Indiana had a front end mounted mower, the first jeep mower ever according to the brochure.  It's powered off a front PTO.

4. K and K MOWER Bar OR the Jeep Mower Bar: K AND K Manufacturing built a side mounted mower. The company was located in Denver. It was powered by a V-belt that runs off the PTO. Here's a full post on this mower.

5. GRADE A MOWER: A rare Grade A Equipment mower brochure and attachment. The owner uses the left hand to operate it. You can see the long lever that reaches to a chain on the mower.
