This is a ground driven side delivery sickle mower, manufactured by McCormick Deering, model New 4. They made similar mowers for many years, and we're not sure when the New 4 was made. Fully enclosed gears suggest relative newness, but the wood operating lever handle suggests the opposite.
How to get here: Just north of the far north end of Mead, WA, turn west off Highway 395 onto Monroe Road. Follow it for 1.1 miles then angle right on Monroe. Follow Monroe for another 3.6 miles to North Hazard Road. At North Hazard Road Monroe becomes West Ridgeway Road. Continue along it to the museum, another .3 miles. There are signs along the way.
These unrestored machines are outside the museum so it is not necessary to pay a fee to view them, though paying to view the rest of the museum is definitely worth the cost.
Use or Purpose of Equipment: Used primarily for cutting grass and hay for animal feed.
Approximate age: 75 - 90 years
Manufacturer and model: McCormick Deering, model New 4
Still in Use?: No

North Spokane Farm Museum
