Description: |
| My improvement relates, mainly, to the posterior part of the mold-board, and my object is to relieve the draft on that part of it, and also to control and vary the eversion of the farrow. For this purpose I use a conical wheel, and so shape it that it shall accomplish my designs. If I wish to evert the sod or soil, I set the wheel well outward at the upper part. If I wish to leave the sod or soil raised by the plow on its edge, I set the top of the wheel not so far over from the center of the plow. If I wish to throw the soil over to the utmost extent on the top of the other furrows, I set the wheel out to its utmost extent. For these and similar-dispositions of the furrow I have arranged frames and set-screws to regulate the action of my mold-board wheel, both at the top and bottom of it.
I claim;
1. Making the wheel at the rear end of the mold-board adjustable by means of a frame or other devices at the top and bottom of the said wheel, one or both, by means of which I am able to evert, set on edge, throw completely over, or otherwise regulate the furrow by the use of the said wheel and frames, as described.
2. The combination of the wheel, or equivalent device, and frames with the mold-board and the V-shaped handles, meeting in one eye on the land-rest, the same making a whole, as described.
3. So combining together the wheel and the immovable part of the mold-board, and shaping each to the other, that they shall maintain a constant relation to each other in whatever position the wheel may be placed, as described.
