The object ot tbia invention is to atilizo tue 

 draft of the team in niisinntlioplowoutof the 

 groiiml, and have tlie (eaiu lifting devices com- 

 bined and arrnnged with and having soch re- 

 lation to tlio hand lifting devices that either 

 form of Iifl can be used, os desired, without 

 any chHn^e of llie parls, and without in any 

 manner impairing the effectiveness of either 

 arrangement in nse or interfering with the suc- 

 cessful operation of each as separate ami dis- 

 tinct operating devices, so far as the method 

 of lifting in each case is concerned, and have 

 the same locking nrrangeiueut, by which the 

 plow is held either in the ground or out of the 

 ground, as required, common to both formsof 

 lift, and opei-ative with either in precisely the 

 same manner so far as the lock is concerned, 

 and so arranged with refrrence to the team- 

 lift that it will bo automatically thrown into 

 lock at the completion of the lift and hold the 

 plow suspended, while the levers by which 

 the lock is released and the sliiling catch or 

 wheel-lock thrown iiitoengagi'mcnt have such 

 relation to each other that the movenicnt of 

 either lever operates Mii' other.

 notched plate o, located on the furrow -wheel 

 hub, the sliding arm or catch c, loeatetl on the

The object of this invention is to allow a 

 sulky-iilow to be turned at the corner of a 

 "laiid" without raising the plow from the 

 ground, and also to prevent si«le draft upnii 

 the sulky-tongue. 



The invention consists in a ilouble hinge 

 coupling for sulky-plows, eonslrueted with a 

 U-shapcd bar and a bolt forelam|iing tiie plow- 

 beam, and the three bent bars hinged to the 

 clampbolt and to the draw-bail of the sulky, 

 whereby the plow-beam will have a free lateral 

 and vertical i)lay, a^wJll be hereinafter fully 

 described. 



The combination, with a draw-bail, D, of a \ 

 plow-beam clamp, I, bolt J, and brackctLOP, 

 the damn turning liorizontaDy on the bolt and 

 the braciict veitfeally on the b;iil, as and for 

 the pnriiose spc^itieil.

My invention rel-itea to an improvement in 

 jointed plow-tougue.s-, the object being lo en- 

 able tho plow to bo turned in its furrow by 

 the draft of the team, instead of being crowded

 ducc a jointed plow-tongue which shall com- ' 

 bine simplicitv and cheaimess of construction 

 with durability in use, ami which shall be ' 

 inlai)ted to be easily operated by the plowman 

 and to be turned to a full rigbtangle with the ■ 

 plow without interfering with or straining it. '
