the rocking stindard and foot-crank, to t , ; ,,; ..:,,; ; 



ments in the width of the supporting frame, and lu uiaiii- 

 tain a proper relation to the driver's scat. 



9. — The comliination, substantiallv as hereinbefore set 

 forth, of the disk-gang shaft or thimbie and the adjustable 

 sectional supporting-yoke to vary the incliii ii'. n fili. li.l,-

10. — The combination, substantially :i^ , t 



forth, of the axially-lurning rakes and the ^Iin l!- m mIucIi 

 they are mounted. 



II. — The combination, substantially as hereinbefore set 

 forth, of the laterally-swinging frame with the disk-gangs, 

 the shields, and the rakes, all carried thereby. 



12. — The combination, substantially as hereinbefore set 

 forth, of the main axle, the main frame mounted therein, the 

 swinging frame pivoted to the main frame in front of the 

 axle, the disk-gangs hung from the swinging frame in front 

 of the axle, and the driver's seat on the swinging frame in 

 the rear of the axle, whereby the weight of the driver count- 

 erbalances that of the disk-gangs.

Claim. — The combination, with the tongue-yoke, of the 

 pivoted seat-bar and its seat, provided with a guide-sup- 

 port adapted to move up and down on the vertical portions 

 to the yoke E, chains, and a hooked cross tree or bar on 

 the tongue, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
