My invention relates to an improvenicnl in I 

 tongnclcs.swheel-euUiv:iUns; and it consists— 



Fiist, in an axle Inniii;;' its <-nds tnrnwl 

 backwai'd at an angle, so that tho m heels will 

 behftachcd thereto at a point to the rear of 

 the front end of the bean).s. The object of this 

 part of luy invention is to so construct tlie axle 

 that its ends arc turned backward, so as to 

 throw the wheels and the jioints of dnill to 

 the rear of the front ends of the beams, and 

 thus make the draft easier upon the animals. 



Second, in an axle having its rear ends 

 turned backward and upward, in cond>inalion 

 with Ihe dralt-bai-s, Mhieh are a])plicd to the 

 upturned ends, and which draft-bare have the 

 spindles for the wheels forme<l as a part of 

 thorn. The object (jf tJiis part of my invention 

 is tobring the di-an-aniiuals back iis near as 

 possible to the front ejids of the beams, and 

 so make the draft easier upon thcni. 



Thii-d, ill the arrangement and combination 

 of parts, which will be more fully dcscrilied 

 hereinafler. 



1. In a wheel- culti vator, an axle having its 

 ends turned backM"ard at an angle, so as to 

 bring the points of draft to the rear of the 

 front ends of the beams, substantially as 

 shown. 



2. In atonguelcsswheel-cultivator, thccom- 

 nation of the axle, having its ends turned 

 backward at angle and then upward, with 

 draft bars eanyiog the spindles for the wheels, 

 the draft-bars being applied to the vertical 

 portions of the tnrned-up ends, substantially 

 as described. 



;i. In a wheel-eultivator, the combination 

 of the axle, having its ends turned backward 

 and then upwai-d, with the wheels applied to 

 the upturned ends, substantially as set forth.

 the combination, with Ihe arch nr axle, of the 

 draft -bai-s, having formed therewith or se- 

 cun'd to them suitable arms or level's, which 

 project backward and form supports for the 

 beams, in order lo hold the machine slilV for 

 Jnviiiiig around and in transporting il from

 beams can be adjusled laterally in relation to 

 each other, iiad in wJiich the bcanis can be 

 madetostill'cn theniachine while being moved 

 fi-oni jdaee to place, and to throw Ihe poinbi 

 of draft as near to the fiont emls of the beams 

 as possible, so as to lighten the draft upon the 

 animals.

 Ihc axle, having its ends turned forward and 

 then inward, with Ihe sleeves, which are ap- 

 plied to the ends, the sleeves being provided 

 A'ith means for limiting the mo\enient of the 

 beams, substantially as desc-ribed. 



3. The combination of an axle, with tbo 

 sleeves, having Ihe vertical portion 1 provid- 

 ed with pin or bolt holes, made at oi- near one 

 end of the sleeve, whereby, when the sleeves 

 are reversed from one end of the axle to the 

 other, the di.stauce between the beams is in- 

 erea.sed or decreased, substantiallyas set forth. 



4. In a wiieel-cultivaioi-, the combination of 

 the axle, the draft-mds. the arms or braces, 

 and the beams, whereby, when the beams are 

 hnng upon Ihe arms or braces, the macliine is 

 locked rigidly in position, substantially as
