PLOWS 



313 



clevis designed to give or take the land and to 

 regulate the depth of the plow P B F 15. 



The plow is adapted to work with or with- 

 out a colter, and designed for fallowing, ridg- 

 ing and ditching farm lands, draining marshes, 

 turn piking roads, and repairing highways. 



The projective slope of the bar and share 

 gives to the plow a descending draft, which 

 causes it to draw to and retain its hold in the 

 earth to the depth regulated or required. The 

 rolling-board and face of the share, forming a 

 regular circle and passing on at near right 

 angles, roll, bed and pulverize the earth at one 

 and the same time, placing the surface soil to 

 the depth the plow runs and bringing the clay 

 or subsoil upon the surface. 



All parts of the plow which are pressed by 

 the earth, being metallic, immediately scour 

 smooth, cut, slide, and roll off the earth with- 

 out friction or compression, which renders the 

 draft extremely light, and from the combina- 

 tion of its parts is rendered the more perma- 

 nent by a hard draft.

Claim. The before described improvements 

 in the mold-board, the main landside, the bot- 

 tom landside, the cutter, the projection or ear 

 on the share, and space in the same at the heel 

 the plate of iron under the share, and the dove- 

 tail piece of cast-iron in the end of the beam.

Claim. 1. The manner in which the main 

 landside piece B is combined with the mold- 

 board by means of the piece h h, cast onto the 

 landside, and fitting into the recess prepared 

 for it on the front edge of the mold-board, the 

 two parts being drawn together by means of a 

 wedge entering the space k, as set forth. 



2. The manner" herein set forth of forming 

 and combining the bottom landside-piece, e e, 

 by which form and combination this piece is 

 rendered reversible and capable of regulating 

 the pitch of the plow, as set forth. 



3. The manner of forming and combining 

 the reversible cutter b, extending from front 

 to rear of the upper part of the landside, so as 

 to constitute a part thereof, and being capable 

 of being set forward to any required extent 

 from the manner in which it is connected to 

 the main landside-piece. 



4. The manner of confining the combined 

 share and point in place by means of the bolt 



//, passing up through the sheath, the bolt s, 

 and the recess and tongue / u. 



5. The particular manner of combining the 

 clevis with the piece x, let into the end of the 

 beam, so as to operate in the manner de- 

 scribed. 



JOSEPH DUDLEY, Fleming Co., Ky. 

 Plows. May 8, 1832. 

 No Claim. The share and mold-board are 



all in one piece, and the landside is formed 

 with an- upright bar, that is attached to it near 

 the point of welding, so as to form a regular 

 circular from the point of the landside up the 

 upright bar high enough to receive the front of. 

 the share. The share is attached to it by weld- 

 ing. The upright then passes straight up 

 through the beam, and is secured by a screw 

 and tap on the top of the beam. It is further 

 secured by a brace that passes from the heel- 

 screw across the upright bar about two inches 

 below the beam, where it is secured by a short 

 bolt that passes through the upright bar and 

 brace, with a screw and tap on it. The brace 

 then passes on through the beam, and is se- 

 cured on top of the beam with a screw and tap, 

 all of it made of wrought or rolled iron. The 

 heel is made straight with the outside of the 

 landside-bar and long enough from the turn 

 to extend eight or nine inches up the handles, 

 with the head of the heel-screw countersunk 

 level with the bar.

No Claim. The landside and mold-board 

 are both of cast-iron, and, as will be seen in 

 the model, are separate and detached pieces. 

 They are fastened together at the lower end of 

 the plow by a lock, and at the upper end by a 

 screw passing through the landside, sheath, and 

 mold-board. The landside and mold-board, 

 it will be seen, are retained in their proper re- 

 lative positions and made secure by a large 

 screw passing from the bottom of the plow 

 through the mold-board and beam, to which it 

 is fastened by a tap. It will also be observed 

 that the sheath passes up through the beam, 

 and is made fast to the landside of the plow by 

 an iron loop, which forms a part of said land- 

 side. 



This improvement I claim as one entirely 

 novel, and it has the effect of rendering the 

 whole architecture of the machine more firm, 

 consolidated, and secure than any other now 

 in use, and is so considered by a number of 

 practical men who have tested its operation. 

 The share is movable and of wrought-iron, and 

 is attached to the plow in the manner as repre- 

 sented in the model. The advantage of this 

 is obvious, as when necessity requires it can 

 be taken off to be either sharpened or steeled. 



The manner in which the share is attached 

 to the mold-board and secured to the landside 

 differs from all other plows I have ever seen, 

 and will be particularly observed by referring 

 to the model. 



The model, it will be further observed, is 

 that of a left-hand plow. I also manufacture 

 them right-handed, differing in no other par- 

 ticular from the model herewith submitted, 

 both of which kinds I wish to be embraced in 

 the Letters Patent.
