My luvoution relates to improvements in 

 plows; and the objects of my improvements 

 are, first, to lighten the draft by iucirWiHing 

 the size of cutting-disk anil operating it on the 

 axle to which the ptow is attached; second, 

 to break thosoiltoagreaterdepth than usual, 

 and to enrich the land by exposing more of 

 it to atmospheric action; third, to facilitate 

 drainage by tbe attachment of an adjustable 

 drain-cutter that will form a contiuoous chan- 

 nel below the plowed surface under each fur- 

 row; foorlli, to produce a plow that will work 

 equally well either single or iu gangs of two 

 or more. 



1. The combination, in a plow, of wheels W 

 VV, spindles F F, lyith bolts/'/', flanges/ 



/, with ratchet-surface, ratchet-plates D and 

 D', with slots Fj E, axle <t, and cutting-disk A*

This invention relates to certain improve- 

 ments in thatclossofsnlkyplows in which the 

 wheel adjacent to the plowshare is caused to 

 rnn in the furrow, and has for its. object to 

 render the movement of the plow steady and 

 uniform. 



My invention consists to that eud of the im- 

 proved construction of the rim of the wheel 

 which runs in the furrow, whereby the wheel 

 is prevented from rising from the furrow npon 

 the laud, and whereby the wheel is better en- 

 abled to resist the lateral pressure of the plow ; 

 also, of a novel construction of tbe devices 

 whereby the plow-beam is ]aterally_adjusted 

 on the sulky -^frame to regnlate its position 

 with reference to the wheel which travels in 

 the furrow; also, of an improved construction 

 of the hub of the wheel, whereby the wear of 

 the metallic parts is reduced and dirt excluded 

 from the bearing, as will be hereinafter folly 

 rtot fortb, and pointed out in the claims. 



1. Iu a sulky-plow, a wheel, B, constrnoted 

 with a peripheral flange or tire, e, on which 

 tbe wheel runs, and an auuular flange,/, pro- 

 jefcting inwardly from the flange e, and ar- 

 ranged on the inner or land side of the wheel, 

 whereby the wheel is jnabled to resist thelat- 

 ernl pressure of the plow, snbstantially as set 

 fortb. 



2. In a snlky-plow, a wheel, E, constructed 

 with a peripheral flange or tjre, e, on which 

 the wheel runs, and an awmlar flange, /, ar- 

 ranged on the inner or laud side of tbe wheel 

 in an inclined position, whereby the wheel re- 

 ceives a tendency to work away from .the land 

 and is prevented from mounting the land, sub- 



stuntinllv as set forth.
