Im trying to restore a old deering mower. when i took the wheels off to grease a bunch of pieces fell out. they are worn out pieses of steel with springs attached. i am going to use this mower with my case and am wondering if those pieces are important. the wheels turn okay and the mower works fine. does anyone know what those pieces are for. Small springs are attached to the three pieces. teeth line the inside of the hub of the wheels. Are these pieces there to prevent the horsed from backing up the mower by chance. Thanks in advance.

Check out the Horse drawn mower book by Lynn Miller. I got it on the interlibrary loan and decided I will buy a copy.

It talks about restoring the machines and has copies of the parts manuals. I think anyone going to restore a mower needs this book.

I agree with the other post... You must have the dogs in place to make the mower work. The dogs also allow the mower to be backed up without damage to the pitman rod. I just rebuilt my granddads mower last summer. He cuts about 40 acres of hay a year with his horses. His Deering had 3 dogs in each wheel and it was no trouble to fix once I had all the parts made. But I do work in a machine shop so I had plenty of resources.

Which model of Deering mower is it? If it's a Deering New Ideal or New Ideal Giant, I may still have an owner's manual around here somewhere. Let me know.

I agree with what JHilyer said; as a boy, I can remember when we were using the Deering mower and turning a corner in the field, there would be a clanking sound as one wheel turned faster than the other.

Plus, whenever you finish a project, "leftover" parts are never a good sign, are they?

Hi, I just bought a Deering New Ideal one horse. There are a few repairs needed, but but it's not too bad at first sight.
I would LOVE to get a copy of a manual for this machine.
The main issue with this machine is that it lacks a blade, any suggestion about how to find or adapt one are welcome.

Oh man, do you need those pieces! Or it just won't work.

Those pieces make up the "dog clutchs" - one in each wheel - that transfer the motion from the rotating wheel to the axle, which in turn runs the mower. There is one in each wheel because when you turn sharp, your inside wheel will stop moving (or move very slow), so the outside wheel, which is turning faster, will keep the mower operating. Those clutches are the mechanical link from the "ground-operated" wheels to the actual mowing mechanism.
