This invention consists in a peculiar arrange- 

 ment of mechanism employed for elevating the 

 plow frame, whereby the latter may be actuated 

 so as to incline the plows, and the mechanism 

 stopped automatically when the frame and 

 plow are sufficiently elevated ; also, in combi- 

 nation with the first named feature, of a hold- 

 ing pawl and brake to facilitate the adjustment 

 of the plows to their work. 



Claim. 1. The arrangement of the clutch r, 

 levers M N, rod O, lever b x , and button or 

 projection c 1 , on the chain F, whereby the 

 chains F F are wound on the pulleys e e of the 

 shaft E, and stopped automatically at the proper 

 time for the purposes set forth.
