Plons known as "swivel" or "reversible" 

 plows have had serious obstacles to prevent 

 them from being practicably applied to sulky 

 orriding plows. Tlie reason isobvious — that it 

 wouldboentirely impracticable for tbeoperator 

 while riding npon the carriage of a sulky-plow 

 to undertake in any way to reverse tho mold- 

 board of an ortlinnry swivel-plow. Should the 

 operator leave his seat to reverse the mold- 

 boanl at the end of each furrow, it would put 

 him to go niMcli extra trouble that it would be 

 considered impracticable. Thecommon swivel- 

 plow of ordinary constructiou is not capable 

 of being used to advantage in a sulky -plow. 

 The object of my inventiou is to provide a 

 sutky-plow haying all the advantages and do- 

 ing the work of nn ordinary swivel-plow. My 

 improved sulky-plow is constructed to turu a 

 furrow to tho right-hand side while beingdriven 

 in one direction, and to turn a furrow to the 

 loft-hand si Ju while being driven in the oppo- 

 site direction, allowing the operator, while in 

 the eeat and riding npon the carriage of tho 

 sulky-plow, to reverse the plows from right to 

 left, or vice versa ; also^iu socotistrucling the 

 BDlky-plow that the carnage wheelscan be both 

 raised and lowered on each side of the main car- 

 riage-frame to correspond with the change of 

 plows from right to left or left to right ; also, 

 in 80 constructing the details of my improved 

 Bolky plow as to more especially adapt the ma- 

 chine for the work re<|aired as more fully set 

 forth in the following specification and claims. 



1. Thecoiubiuationof the two centrally-piv- 

 oted parallel biirs (' and 1), connecting the 

 axles j j, raising one ns the other is lowered, 

 and holding tho axlea in their horizontal posi- 

 tions, substantially as described. 



2. The combination of the haud-levcr U with 

 coiinoctions for 0|)erating or raising and low- 

 ering both the right and left hand plows and 

 for operating both of the main supportiug- 

 whecls, by ineaus of which one plow is raised 

 while the other is lowered, one of the wheels 

 by tho same operation t>eing automatically 

 raised and the other lowered, and vice versa, 

 substantially as described, and fur the purpose 

 specified. 



3. The combination of the right and left 

 hand plows with tho primary haudlcver H, by 

 means of which either plow can be raised from 

 the furrow and the other plow inserted into 

 the ground, anil by means of which both right 

 and left hand plows cm bo raised slightly 

 from thogroauil,Hud tho secondary hand-lever, 

 (j, with itsconnectiu^ arms, by means of which 

 Iwth plows c.in be raised together still farther 

 from tho ground for transportation from place 

 to place, siibsiantinlly as and for the purpose 

 described. 



4. The combinatiou of the \e\Tr II, segment 

 G, chains »i »i', vertically-adjustable axlesup- 

 I>ort 11. and axle^,for raising and lowering the 

 wheel W upon the main frame A, substantially 

 as doscrilHtd. 



5. Tho pivole.l cutter T, hinged upon pivot 

 b, in combinatiou with connecting link rand 

 levers M and V, for rnistng the cutter when 

 both plows are raise<l by the lever Q, substan-

 fied.

This invention relates to iiujirovemeuts in 

 gang-plows, and more particularly to that class 

 of gang-plows in which the plows are attached 

 to a separate frame which connects by a hinge 

 withatruck, so that by drawing the truck over 

 the surface of the ground the plows are caused 

 to act on the soil to any required depth; but 

 it may be applied to any form of gang or sulky 

 jdow, and is especially adapted for use upou 

 uneven ground and in plowingside hill ground ; 

 and the object of my improvement is to pro- 

 vide a means whereby the points of the plows 

 can be turned to or from the "land." This ob-
