Tbo object of tbe present invcnlioii is to 

 obviate certain minor defects of the sulky- 

 carriage for plows forming the subject-matter 

 of Leltors Patent No. 247,440, granted jointly 

 to myself aud Kufus Wasliburu on tbe 20tb 

 day of September, 1881. In die patent re- 

 ferred to a caster-wbeel travels on tbe ground 

 directly iu rear of tbo landside portion of tbo 

 plow, and serves to take tbo weight thereof. 

 A CHSter-wheel so located lias a tendency to 

 throw too much weight on the necks of the 

 draft animals, and where the ground is un- 

 even, causing llio tongue to be raiacti, tbe 

 plow is raised in proportion, aod when tbo 

 point of the tongue is lowered tbo caster- 

 wheel is thrown otl the ground, in which event 

 tbe weight on the plow will bo too great. 

 Kurtbcrmore, a wheel located as in the pat- 

 ent referred to cannot bo used to advantage 

 with plows possessing handles, because the 

 wheel must be arranged so close to the land- 

 side-bar as to interfere with tbe handles and 

 prevent the plowman from properly guiding 

 the plow. 



Tbo combiuaiiitn of the pivoted and slotted 

 arm or hanger E, carrying furrow-wheel C, 

 and the bole I passing through said slotted 

 arm, and provided with an end nut, J, with 

 the plow carriage or frame and tbe plow 

 banger or yoke bnng od the bolt I, as and for 

 the parpose set forth.

This invention relates to improvemcuts on 

 sulky-plows; and tbe nature of my invention 

 consists, first, in combining with the short axle 

 of the land-wheel, which is adjustable on one 

 of the arms of the arched axle, a fianged cam 

 having a band-lever on it, an anti-friction roll- 

 er, and a lip formed on the adjustable sleeve 

 of the said short axle, as will be hereinafter 

 explained, whereby the attendantcan level the 

 frame, whether tbe machine be plowing or on a 

 level road ; second, in a novel method of sus- 

 pending tbe plow aod the rear part of its beam 

 trom a vertically-adjustable bail, io combina- 

 tion with a SDSpension-stirrop, wbicb is free to 

 travel laterally aud to vibrate on said bait, 

 and a suspension-spring on which tbe rear part 

 of the plow-beam is sustained, which spring is 

 jrigidly secured at one end on top of said beam, 

 las will be hereinafter ezplaioeil. 



1. In a sulky-plow, the short land-side axle 

 C, constructed with a sleeve, C, a stud, a, aud 

 a lip, b, in combination with the arched axle B, 

 anti-friction roller c, cam D, its lever D', and 

 a locking device therefor, substantially as and 

 for the purposes described. 



2. Tbecombioation of thesleeve C, bearing 

 the short axle 0, aud adjustably applied on the 

 vertical limb of the arched axle, with a lever 

 having a fiauged cam on its end adapted to 

 engage with sloeveC,-for leveling the machine, 

 substantially as described. 



3. Tbecombioation of tbe pivoted bail, its 

 hand-lever and locking device, the arched axle, 

 the plow - beam pivoted vertically and hori- 

 zontally at its front end to the sulky-frame, the 

 suspension-stirrup for this beam, adapted to 

 ride on said bail, and tbe suspension-spring S, 

 having a bearing, n, on tbo stirrup, substan- 

 tially as desorib^l.

My invention relates to an improvement in 

 wheel-plows; and itconsistsin makingtheaxle 

 out of two separate aud independent parts. 

 one of which has the adjustable wheel secured 

 to it, while tbe other forms a support for tbo 

 driver's seat and the tongue. 



It further consists in attaching to one end 

 of one part of the axle a rod or bar, which 

 forms a support for the ratchet -frame, and to 

 which the tongue is pivoted in any suitable 

 manner, as will be more fully described here- 

 inafter. 



The object of my invention is to construct 

 a wheel-cultivator ii| which tbe plow can be 

 lowered Into aud raised above the ground with 

 a single lover, aud wbicb will admit of the 

 wheel which is to run in the furrow being raised 

 and lowered at the will of the operator. 



1. The combination of tbe axle A, arched at 

 itK in nor end, tbe casting P, sectireil to oufsido 

 of tUf arch and clamped against tbe inner 

 Hid' of the beam O, tbe rack-bar N, having its 

 front end bent over tbe top of tbe tongue, so as 

 to form a bearing or pivot for it, and tbe bar S, 

 the rear end of tbe tongue being made to bear 

 against the casting, substantially as shown. 



2. The combination of the casting P, pro- 

 vided with the flange T, the clamping device 

 P', the fbngoe R, having a fasteningdevico to 

 catch under the flange, and suitable bearings 

 for the tongno, substantially as described. 



3. Tbe combination, in a wheel-plow, of the 

 part A of tbe axle, the grooved casting P, se- 

 cured thereto, a suitable clamping device, P', 

 and the beam O, to which the ratchet-bar and 

 tbe tongue are secured, substantially as net 

 forth. 



4. The combination of tbo arched axle A, 

 tbe crank axle D, tlie grooved cisring F, tho 

 spindle II, liavinganadjustableshank adapted 

 tu F«lid«^ in tbe grooved casting, and tho rigid 

 lever G, substantially as sjiecitied.

Tbis invention has relation to sulky-plows; 

 and the novelty consists in pivoting the plow- 

 beam to tho frame so that it may have a free 

 lateral inovement on each side of a locked po 

 sitioii which corresponds to tbe line of draft. 



It further consists in pivoting the beam to 

 the axis to admit of a vertical motion, com 

 bined with mechanism whereby the plow may 

 be raised or lowered at will, and so arranged 

 that tho plow and its beam will ride over an 

 obstruction without operating oraffecting tbe 

 raising and lowering mechanism, as will be 

 herpinnfter set forth. 



1. Tbe combination, in a sulky plow, cf a 

 plow-beam vertically pivoted to tbe frame, and 

 mechanism for automatically locking it in a 

 position corresponding to thelincofilraft, sub
