My invention relates to the peculiar mech- 

 anism by means of which the shovel or plow 

 of a cultivator is made to assume a position 

 suitable for throwing a furrow in cither direc- 

 tion at the will of the operator. 



The object of my invention is to furnish suit- 

 able mechanism to deflect or turn the shovel 

 or plow of a cultivator from a direct course 

 and to raise the same or lower it at will, and 

 thns conform to the various wants of agricul- 

 ture.
