 61,796. Reissued Aug. 25, 1868. 

 Claim. 1. The post A, having in combina- 

 tion the front flange F and projection B, or any 

 equivalent of this projection, which sustains, in 

 front of the vertical part of the post next be- 

 low it, the holding-down mechanism of the 

 beam. 



2. Making the connection of the plow-beam 

 to the post A, having the front flange F, by 

 the stirrup D and wedge E, or equivalents of 

 these two parts, the stirrup of which surrounds 

 the beam and a portion of the metal below it, 

 and has directly in rear of the lower end a por- 

 tion of the post. 



3. The post A, having the front flange Fand 

 projection B, or any equivalent of this projec- 

 tion, which, together with the beam, is sur- 

 rounded by the stirrup D and drawn together 

 by the wedge E, or equivalents of this stirrup 

 and wedge, which hold the beam to the post, 

 as these parts do, without weakening either 

 one. 



4. The post A, having the front flange F 

 and the front and rear projections B B, or any 

 equivalent of the front projection, which, to- 

 gether with the beam, is surrounded by the 

 stirrup D and drawn together by the wedge E, 

 or equivalents of this stirrup and wedge, which 

 hold the beam to the post in front, while the 

 beam is so held to the rear flange as to prevent 

 the parallelism of the landside of the beam and 

 post being varied. 



5. The combination of the post A, having 

 the front flange F and projection B, and the 

 stirrup D, wedge E, and landside G, with its 



cutting-edge, or an equivalent combination of 

 parts. 



6. The post A, having the front and rear 

 flanges F F and projections B B, and the beam 

 C, connected to the projections with the stir- 

 rups D D and the wedges E E, or equivalents 

 of these parts, for changing the plow from a 

 right to a left-hand turning one. 



7. The combination of the reversible land- 

 side G with the post A, having the flanges F F.

 with the adjustable bar K K', with the nut L
