My invention relates to improvements in 

 ridingcultivators, in which foot-levei-s, foi 

 the purpose of raising the plow gaugs, are at- 

 tached to an arm on the coupling parts by a 

 link iu such a manner as to allow the gangs 

 to be adjusted laterally.

 arm C, and the Jink E. pivoted at both.eads and 

 connecting the lever D and arm C, said arm C 

 being rigidly attached to a coupling device, 

 preferal>Iy a pipe - bo.-;, whereby it remains 

 stationary while the bc-am can be adjusted 

 laterally, in combination with said coupling 

 device to which said beam is attached, as and 

 for the purpose specified.

Thia invention relates to machines for culti- 

 vating and chopping cotton, peas, beans, sor- 

 glmia, audotherplauLsgrown in furrows. The 

 machine consists of a rectangular frame mount- 

 ed upon wheels, and provided with support 

 ing devices for the cultivator shanks or stocks, 

 that are adjustably connected to suitable shafts 

 in such a manner as to be raised and lowered 

 with great facility. 



1. The combination of the frame A, having 

 a transverse rod or shaft, a, provided with lat- 

 erally-adjustable pendants b b, the bi-ace-rods 

 € e, the cultivator-stocks cc', carrying suitable 

 blades, the rock-shaft, m, having adjustable 

 arras 1 1, and the rods or bars k k, for connect- 

 ing said arms to the cultivator-stocke, where- 

 by the latter may be raised or lowered, sob- 

 atantially as described. 



2. The combination of the cultivator- frame 

 A, having transveree shaft a, the two-part box 

 pendants i &, mounted on said shaft, the brace- 

 rods e €, and the adjustable cultivator stocks 

 or beams c d, pivoted ia the slotted lower ends 

 of the pendants b, and carrying cultivator-

The object of this construction is to provide 

 for adjusting the plows or teeth at any angle 

 that liiay be desired with the line of draft, and 

 at a greater angle than if only one slotted 

 cross-head were employed, so that the plows 

 will work to a greater or less depth, to suit the 

 circumstauces required in use. A further ob- 

 ject is to m^ke the ordinary slip joint or con- 

 nection so that should the plows be obstructed 

 by a root or stone the coupling could slip or 

 give way and would have agreatcrswingthan 

 would the ordinary single slip-joint. 



In acultivator-dr^, the combination of main 

 beams and extensions, eaeh provided with 

 slotted cross-heads and secured together, as 

 described, whereby the adjustment and relief 

 of the plows is secured, as specified.

This riding or sulky cultivator is adapted 

 to be tised both on level land and hillside land, 

 tho tongue of the implement being pivoted at 

 its rear end to the arched or bowed axle of the 

 machine, and provided with a pivoted ratchet- 

 lever engaging a serrated ratchet-loop to shift 

 the line of draft from a center line to both the 

 right and left of the center line to an angle of 

 about forty-five degrees, as shown, the ratchet- 

 lever being held to its adjustment in notches 

 in a cross-bar on the main frame in front of 

 the driver's seat.
