plants. When however, it is desired to use
the implement for cultivating the soil be-
tween rows or for harrowing the surface of
the soil, an earth engaging member 15 may
5 be attached to the rear end portion of the
draft bar 11 and the said member 15 will co-
operate with the earth engaging members
carried by the frame 3.
A plate 16 is pivotally mounted at the rear
10 end of each of the beams 1 and may swing
horizontally with relation thereto when the
bolt 17 is loosened. The said bolt 17 passes
vertically through the beam 1 and the plate
16 is twisted at an intermediate point as at
15 18, so that its end portions occupy planes at
right angles to each other. The plate 16 is
connected with the beam 1 at the under side
- thereof. The arm 19 is pivotally attached
with the upper side of the beam 1 by the bolt
20 -17, and is twisted at an intermediate point as
at 20. The bolt 21 passes transversely
through the lower end of the handle 22 and
also through the plate 16 and arm 19. The
handle 22 is provided with a second bolt 23
25 which passes through the slot 24 provided in
the end of the arm 19. By this arrangement
it will be seen that by loosening the bolt 17
the handle 22 may be swung horizontally or
substantially so and by loosening the bolt 23
30 the handle may be swung vertically or sub-
stantially so. After the handles 22 have been
properly adjusted they may be secured in
their adjusted positions by tightening the
nuts carried by the bolts 17 and 23. The
35 cross bar 25 connects the handles 22 togetherand holds their rear end portions at a proper
distance apart.
Having described my invention what I
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-
Patent is:- 40
1. An implement as described comprising
side parts each consisting of a beam support-
ed at its front and rear ends by ground en-
gaging members, eyes located under the for-
ward portion of the beam, a rod passing 45
through the eyes and having its rear end
hooked, a link pivotally connected to the rod,
an arm attached to the rear portion of the
beam, means for adjustably connecting the
arms of the beams together, and a draft bar 50
to which the rods are pivotally connected
and the links are adjustably connected.
2. An implement as described comprising
side parts each consisting of a beam support-
ed at its front and rear ends by ground en- 55
gaging members, said beams being laterally
adjustable with relation to each other and
means for holding the beams in adjusted po-
sitions, a handle carried by each beam, said
handles being adapted to be swung vertically 6o
and also laterally with relation to the beams
and means for fixing the handles in adjusted
positions.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as
my own, I have hereto affixed my signature 65
in the presence of two witnesses.
