MASSEY-HARRIS FARMER BOY SULKY 



Here Is a simple, light draft, easily handled low- 

 lift sulky plow that meets certain field conditions 

 in an ideal way. This sulky plow takes and leaves 

 the ground first, just like a walking plow. It is con- 

 structed so that any depth desired can he plowed. 

 The first furrow can be plowed eight or nine inches 

 deep. 



One of the principal features of this plow is that 

 it is self-leveling. When once leveled and in plow- 

 ing position only the larger lever, as shown in the 

 illustration, is used to raise or lower the bottom. 



The penetration lever assures perfect penetration 

 at all times. 



The front furrow wheel post has a double support 

 which does away with necessity for a large, cum- 

 bersome brace, corrimon in many low-lil:t sulkies. 

 The supports of this member are really double axles 

 and work in sleeves. Their action is so timed as to 

 raise and lower the plow on the front wheel the 

 same as the land wheel, consequently the plow is 

 kept level at all times. The rear furrow wheel has 

 been converted into a small solid wheel which acts 

 as a rolling landslide. This wheel runs in the angle 

 of the furrow and holds the true landslide about a 

 half inch from the furrow bank. There is no friction 

 caused by the rubbing of the landslide against the 

 furrow bank. 



SPPECIFICATIONS 



A three horse hitch, adjustable caster colter and 

 weed hook are furnished with each plow. Extra cast 

 shares can be furnished.

MASSEY-HARRIS 3-SPEED PITMAN DRIVE 



PLANTER 



The three-speed Pitman drive planter is the climax of many 

 years of study and experience in building high grade planters 

 of this type. 



It is short and compact, which makes it especially valu- 

 able in planting on steep slopes or terraced land where there 

 are sharp curves. 



One of the outstanding features of this planter is the 

 three-speed cell-drop planting device, which makes it possi- 

 ble to change the planting rate without changing the plates. 

 By simply V sliding the movable pinion gear along the seed 

 shaft to mesh with the desired ring of teeth on the triple- 

 speed gear, which operates the seed plate, the '"proper seeding 

 rate is obtained. 



Pitman bearings are oil-soaked hardwood. Axles and seeding shafts are of heat treated steel. Bearings on the axle shaft 

 are lined at inner and outer ends with leather washers, keeping oil in and dust out. 



A rachet on the drive wheel, automatically disengages drive when the planter is backed. A lever, conveniently located 

 behind the hopper, permits throwing the planter in and out of gear. 



A large 20-inch drive wheel provided with lugs insures plenty of traction. Handles are long and adjustable for height 

 to accommodate a tall or short man. 



This planter is also furnished with hill dropping attachment. This is a simple device that retains the accumulated 

 hill in the seed spou.t valve until it is opened by a crank and the hill is dropped. A spring closes the valve. 



Lugs spaced regularly on the hub of the drive wheel trip the valve crank to open the valve. Five lugs are furnished 

 and when all are used the spacing distance between the hills is 12 in. with 4 lugs the distance is 15 in. With 3 lugs the dis- 

 tance is 20 in., and with 2 lugs the distance is 30 in. 



To convert this hill drop planter to a plain drill, it is only necessary to lock the valve open. A latch to hold up the 

 valve crank is provided for this purpose.
