'Reindeer" Cultivator. 



With 4 or 6 Shovels 



This Cultivator was an entirely new creation for the spring of 1839, and has proven 

 to be a very taking machine. It has many excellent features, which should be seen 

 to be appreciated. . 



First, the Evener drops on either side of the tongue to the level of the hitch, 

 doing away with loose draft pendants. 



The Arch is in three parts. The Cross-bar is attached rigidly to the tongue. The 

 two Side Pieces, which also forms the spindles for the wheels, have a free forward and 

 backward swing on the cross-bar. This feature, together with the hitch being direct 

 from the ends of the beams, allows and requires each horse to draw one-half of the 

 load. 



By means of set screws the sides of the arch can be set out or in, giving a varia- 

 tion of ten inches in the tread of the wheels, and making it possible to cultivate 

 potatoes, beets, etc., in rows of thirty inches wide. 



The Beam is made of piping, and is very strong as well as light. 



The Parallel Beam constitute a feature now well understood by farmers and deal- 

 ers. It consists of a device for always keeping the Shovels "face front," or at right 

 angles to the line of draft. In the "Reindeer" this parallel arrangement is perfect, 

 and absolutely avoids all side-draft on the shovels. 



This Cultivator can also be equipped with the regular Steel Beam Rigs, as used on 

 the "Deere" Spring Cultivator. 



The Shovel Cross-head has many valuable features. It is a solid malleable iron 

 casting. The shanks to which the shovels are attached pass through square slots in 

 the casting, and are held in position by a key bolt. There are two slots in the outer 

 end of the cross-head. The shank can be removed from the outside and put in the 

 inside one, bringing the outside shovel near to the inside one. In a similar manner 

 the inside shovel shank can be placed out or in. This arrangement has the effect of 

 bringing the shovels of each rig nearer together or farther apart, as may be desired. 

 A third shank may also be inserted in the inner of the two outside slots, making a 

 three-shovel rig. 



The Wheels are of steel, and have removable steel boxes, so that when the first 

 boxing becomes worn it may be easily removed, and a new one put in at very small 

 cost.
