I picked up a mower today from an old fencerow, it had wood wheels and a wood tounge, maybe this does not belong on this site since it was drawn by horses! So it has a wonderful cast body with deering harvester in big lettering, it was buriied in a peaty bog area so if very well preserved except the wood. does anyone know anything about this type of mower, would it be possibel to rig it up behind a tractor? tom

Why do you think it had wood wheels? They should have been cast iron, and Deering was one of the forerunners of IHC but no parts would be avaible for it as might be if it was a McCormick Deering

Tom: If it has Deering Harvester as the manufacturer, it is probably 100+ years old. Do you have access to a book called 150 Years of IH by CH Wendel. He covers a lot of mowers from the various companies that made up IH. If you see a copy, I'll almost bet you can pick out that mower.

If you don't have a copy of book, post a photo, I'm sure we can id aprox age and model number. I don't know as I would try pulling one that old behind a tractor. It's a two man job to operate. This was done with a good many horse mowers, but for the most part they were 1930-40 models with many of the same features as tractor mowers of the day. I would tend to call your mower Yard Art.

I assume wood wheels as other components were wood, just mush now and the hubs looked like it. but I am wrong all the time... It is a deering harvester ideal, i did some web searches and found some references to it but no pictures. I will post more when the rain stops and i can scrape some mud off it and get a better look.

Tom: I just went to my copy of 150 Years of IH and found your Deering Harvester Ideal mower. It was built between 1893 and 1911. In 1906 they introduced the Deering Harvester New Ideal Gaint, just a larger version of the first mower. Production of this one ended in 1912. A 3rd mower called the New Ideal B was built from 1909 to 1918.

Also just noticed there was a Deering Ideal one horse mower, available in 3.5 or 4 foot size and built from 1896 to 1911. This one was smaller and lighter than the original.
