The first known lawn mower had a cylinder cutting gear made of iron. [citation needed] It was used to mow sporting grounds and wide-ranging gardens.As manufacturers changed the design and structure of mowers, the cutting mechanism also developed and evolved into several varieties, including cylinder/reel blades, deck blades, mulching blades, and lifting blades.
In 1960, a mowing deck with its own Engine was manufactured for the S-Series. This model attached to the front of the tractor and made the S-Series the first Four Wheel Riding Lawn Mower in America. The models S-14, S-17, S-18, S-19, S-23, S-24, and S-32 were to be produced throughout the years.
From 1978 on, alternators and starter motors were standard issue. Case engineered a 60-inch cutting width mower deck to be introduced for the 1980 model year at the same time the more powerful 448 became available. In order to fit that larger mower deck under the tractor, two inches were added to the frame between the seat base and the dash tower.
This design thus eliminated the need for drive belts to power the tractor forward or backwards. The only belts required on Gravely equipment (with the exception of the 408) is the blade drive belt for its mower decks, which is powered by a gear box on the deck, which receives power from a PTO driveshaft connected to the tractor's drivetrain.
Electric mowers typically have a plastic deck. Riding mowers typically have an opening in the side or rear of the housing where the cut grass is expelled, as do most rotary lawn mowers. Some have a grass catcher attachment at the opening to bag the grass clippings.
