Allis Chalmers crawler with an early reaper. The reaper is the type where you sit on it with a large rake and pull the crop into bunches for workers behind to tie up into sheaves.

The allis Chalmers Model M is a good tractor. When I was doing disking for others that is what I used. The tractor is the right size to haul on my chevy flat bed with an 8 ft disk. The one in the picture is a narrow gage with the narrow tracks. Stan

Sometimes referred to as a Dropper, operator uses a rake to lay crop on arms behind mower-bar and when a decent sized bundle on arms presses a pedal to lower the arms so that the stubble between the arms pulls the bundle of the arms.

Here is an earlier version of the same thing, There were other makers who made an harvesting machine only, not an attachment to a mower. Also, Deutz had a similar attachement for their side-mounted mower for their F1M414 11 Hp single-cylinder diesel tractor of 1936. They had an extra seat added over the right-hand fender for the man with the rake.

In my younger days one could find many similar attachments hanging on shed walls. Domestically there was a basket that bolted to the sickle bar. The basket had flat straps of varying length with a curl end at the end of each strap. The intent was to roll the crop into a windrow behind the mower. An old neighbor said they worked in tall meadow grass but worked best if a man walked behind with a pitchfork and set the windrow as it came off the basket.

These were for windrowing the hay, the curved steel are rolled the hay away from the grass-board and laid it in a row behind the mower

We had one of those in the scrap iron pile when I was a kid. Spring steel that was very difficult to work with when trying to fit it to repair anything.
