The main wheel carries excavators operated 

 by a cam and eccentric, and so pivoted that 

 they enter the ground in the direction of their 

 length. The cam is attached to a loaded lever 

 by which damage from stones is avoided. 



Claim, i. The anchors operating substan- 

 tially as described, or operating them in any 

 manner by which their protrusion and with- 

 drawal are effected in a somewhat similar way. 



2. The eccentric F. 



3. The movable cam H, lever and weight, 

 or a spring equivalent to the weight.

 nut, Hill, Pa. Steam Plows. Mar. 26, 

 1867. 

 . Claim. 1. The shaft k rotated by the clutch 

 connection or by hand, as desired, and operat- 

 ing by means of a spiral series of cams, to ele- 

 vate the plow consecutively from the ground, 

 substantially as described. 



2. The shaft o rotated by the clutch connec- 

 tion or by hand, as desired, and operating by a 

 spiral series of cams to trip the dogs, or their 

 equivalents, consecutively to lower the plows 

 to the ground, substantially as described. 



3. The combination, with the cam shafts k o 

 of the levers g and spring dogs / operating sub- 

 stantially as described. 



4. The director wheel b' ', shaft a' , and bar z 

 constructed and operating substantially as de- 

 scribed. 



5. The bar /, supporting the cord pulleys

63,349. GEORGE WILLARD, New 



York, N. Y. Steam Plows. Mar. 26, 1867. 



Claim. 1, In combination, in a steam or 

 other plow, as described, of the bars which 

 carry the spades and other mechanism for break- 

 ing the ground, with the crank shaft for ope- 

 rating the same under the arrangement herein 

 specified, so that the said bars, while alternate- 

 ly and successively moved toward and away 

 from the earth, shall at all times maintain their 

 parallelism with the surface passed over by the 

 machine. 



2. The combination, in the movable and 

 adjustable plow-frame of the colters with the 

 vibrating spades and harrow teeth under the 

 arrangement and for operation asset forth. 



3. The combination with the stationary plow 

 frame of the movable frame and the cams and 

 their operative mechanism for adjusting the 

 same frame to different elevations above the 

 ground the whole being arranged and operating 

 as herein shown and specified. 



4. The herein described mechanism for ad- 

 justing the movable plow frame the same con- 

 sisting of a series of cams arranged and connec- 

 ted with the stationary and movable frame on 

 each side of the plow as described and operated 

 by means of a shaft mounted in the stationary 

 frame and provided with a ratchet and pawl so 

 that the movable frame may be elevated and 

 lowered or held at any desired distance from 



the ground substantially as shown and set forth. 

 5. The method of and means herein des- 

 cribed for directing the movements of a steam 

 plow or other like machine that is to say moun- 

 ting the wheels of said machine upon their 

 axles or shafts in such manner that each wheel 

 and its repective axle may revolve together or 

 independently of each other substantially as 

 and for the purposes set fosth.

 waukeee, Wis. Steam Plows. Aug. 27, 1867. 



Claim. 1. The device for operating a gang 

 plow spader or digger with or without an ac- 

 companying harrow or seeder by means of two 

 stationary engines located on opposite sides of 

 the section to be plowed and connected by 

 ropes passing around drums and wound upon 

 and from them in the manner and to the effect 

 set forth. 



2. The construction and combination of the 

 drums L M L M, actuated by separate engines 

 but connected and co-operating in the manner 

 set forth. 



3. The arrangement on one shaft of the wind- 

 ing drums L M, and the hoisting drum N, sub- 

 stantially in the manner and for the purpose 

 set forth. 



4. The arrangement substantially as set forth 

 and described of the gear wheels J and K and 

 their shafts so that power to move the engine 

 from place to place may be transmitted to the 

 bearing wheels through the same mechanism 

 which operates the plow. 



5. The derrick R, with its fall rope Q con- 

 structed substantially as shown and operating 

 ubstantially in the manner and for the purpose 

 set forth. 



6. The anchor T constructed and operating 

 as set forth and described. 



7. The rectangular gang of plows used to 

 plow without ridging and constructed and 

 operating as shown and described. 



8. The triangular gang of plows used for 

 ridging and constructed and operating as shown 

 and descibed.

Martinez, Cal., assignor to himself and 

 Oliver C. Coffin. Steam Plows and Culti- 

 vators. Mar. 10, 1868. 



Claim. 1. A steam plow, having the rotary 

 knives i i operating in a horizontal plane and 

 transversely to the travel of the machine, and 

 the supporting arms k k, or their equivalents, 

 together with the vertical shafts h, the whole 

 constructed and operating substantially as 

 herein described. 



2. The movable frame U and the arms a a, 

 together with the chains V and capstans W for 

 raising and depressing the plows, substantially 

 as herein described.
