My invention is an improvement on the de- 

 vices shown iu Letters Patent No. 239,219, 

 granti'd March 22, 18SI, Ibr.snpporting the ro- 

 tary plows and traction-wheels. Li that pat- 

 ent the rotary disks were journaled on swiv- 

 eJed standards with adjustable bearings and 

 braces, for adjustment toward each other and 

 to diflerent angles to the line of draft. The 

 awiveled axle-standard was held in position 

 from moving sidewise by a side brace attached 

 to the crossbeam of the machine and to the 

 standard uear the axle by means of a strap or 

 band connection. To this strap or band was 

 secured a spindle uroieciin^ outward from the 

 machine, upon which the da^nd-lever uavmg a 

 traction-wheel attached was pivoted. There 

 was also a brace attached to a plate or wfisher 

 on the axle between the disk and upright stand- 

 ard, extending to the forward cross-beam of the 

 machine. The draft-bar was also connected to 

 this plate or washer ou the axle, the forward 

 end supported by a chain secured to the cross- 

 beam above. This raodeofattachiug the braces 

 to hold the axle-standard and support the 

 swinging traction-wheels, and also the manner 

 of connecting tlje draft-bar, is not considered 

 sufficiently strong and rigid for the work the 

 machine has to perform ; so I have devised a 

 form of axle-support to which the brace-rods 

 and draft bar c;ui bo attached, possessing the 

 requisite amount of strength and durability, 

 that will overcome the objections found in the 

 • other machine. 



1. In a rotarj-disk cultivator, the combina- 

 tion, with the standard F, bent to form the 

 axle of the rotary disk, of the sectional sup- 

 port A, hanng the angular bearing for the axle- 

 standard and provided wiili higs for attach- 

 ing draft and brace rods. 



'2. In a rotary -disk cultivator, the combina- 

 tion of the axle-standard, the lever K, adapted 

 to adjust a traction-wheel, and the sectional 

 support A, having an angular bearing for the 

 axle-standard and a phiin bearing for tho pivot 



D of^aid lever K.

The novelty of my invention consists in the 

 combination and arrangement, iu'a rotary gang- 

 plow, of two series of disks, the rear one of 

 which is set diagonal to the liuc of draft of the 

 machine, and is composed of concavo-convex 

 disks, and the forward one of which, composed 

 of flat disks, is set in line with the draft of the 

 machine, with each disk at a point midway be- 

 tween the cutting-edges of the followingdiaks; 

 also, in other details of construction, as will be 

 herewith specifically set forth. 



1. In a gang-plow, the combination, with a 

 diagonal series of cojicavo-convex disks hfivincr 



continuous cutting-edges, of a front series of 

 flat cutting-disks arranged to operate in the 

 line of draft, but c<iuiiIiKtaiit between fhe cut-

 by tho earth is lirst cut and then subdivided 

 and turned over, substantially as described. 



2. In a gang plow, the combination, with a 

 diagonal series ofconcavo-convex disks having 

 continuous cutting-edges, of a fiont diagonal 

 seiics of flat cntting-dialis arranged to operate 

 in the line nf draft, but equidistant between 

 Ihe cutting points of the rear concavo-convex 

 disks, substantially as described.
