Birational equivalence of three famous mechanical problems - the Kowalewski top, the Hénon-Heiles system and the Manakov geodesic flow on SO(4) - is proved. The invariant surfaces of these three problems complete into Abelian surfaces by adjoining divisors that belong to the same linear system and define a polarization (2,4). The method of proof seems to be effective for other similar problems. 2-dimensional families of Lax pairs for the problems mentioned above are built.
