This luy inveiiiion relates to a certain new 

 and iisciiil iinprnvcmenl in sulky-plows, cou- 

 sistini: 111 Hie application of a third wheel, 

 hin-cd I., ilir rear end of the beam, for the 

 pui puse of supporting it to prevent the tongue 

 from rising in backing the plow from under 

 roots ui- other obstriiction.s, witiiout which it 

 isalmostiniiKissibletoextriwiteit. This last- 

 named third wheel is not intended to tni\ el 

 upon the ground at all times, but is held up 

 by means of a lever at the side of the beam 

 while Ihe plow is in operation ; but in cuseof 

 obstruction it is lowered and pressed lirudy 

 on the ground, and by the act of backing the 

 plow the tongue will be slightly raised and 

 bring the weight of tjie plow upon the M-hccl, 

 and thereby render it e;isilv cxtriwitcil by 

 backing. 



The object of this my invention is to pro- 

 vide a new and useful device for the purpose 

 n{ supporting the rear end of the beam of 

 sulky plows, in order to prevent the tongue 

 Iroin risiii;,' in backing it from under roots or 

 oiin-r oi.sii luti.Mis while in operation, without 

 wliieh It l.•^ almost imoossiblc to extricate it 

 when obstructed. 



In combination with the beam of a sidky 

 plow, the liinged wheel II. and links I I, by 

 which it is hinged to the beam, with coiineet- 

 ing-rod J, anil lever K, by which the wheel 

 is operated, substantially as herein di-.siribed,
