- FIG. 7 It has laterally extending wings I3I to which the upper and inner ends of supporting and connecting 6,, rods I34 are connected, as shown in Figure 7.
- This adjusting sleeve or casing I30 is maintained in desired spaced adjustment with respect to the rear end of the tongue I0 by means of a supporting member I35, shown in Figure 8 as bolted or connected at I36 between the angles at the rear end of the tongue I0.

- the box I3ii is built up of welded pieces in the shape shown in the cross sectional view Figure 11.
- bracket extensions I50 which are link connected at I5I with th angle piece I20 above described.
- These links provide proper support and draft for the gangs at the inner ends in addition to the lower connections above described and also permit of the outer ends of the gangs to gradually lift as they are swung from their axially aligned position into forward angled position.
- this movement is enabled by reason of the oif-vertical position of the standards H0, as shown in Figure 8, which always controls the position of the box I30, however adjusted on the standard, and likewise controls the pivot connections of the connecting rods I34 with respect to the pivot connections of the links I5I.
- the mechanism which controls the vertical tilting of the gangs is centrally located Means other than that described may be provided to regulate the degree of angling, such as shown in Figure 15 where the box or slide I30 which corresponds to the slide box I30 above described, may be lifted by a regulating lever I70 pivoted thereto at Ill.
- the lever III at its rear end, beyond the standard IIO, may be provided with an adjustable pin connection I12 with a supporting rod I73 pivoted at I'M upon the rear end of the tongue structure I0.

- I may provide a suitable control pawl I15 upon the lever I70 operating over a detent segment IIB which may be attached to the box I30 the same being pro vided with teeth between which the pawl may seat to hold th proper adjustment of the slide box I30.
- This leverage assemblage may extend to the power unit if desired, and also other means may be used for securing quick adjustment of the tilting angle of the gangs, such, for instance, as thru conventional hydraulic mechanism, etc.
- the bearing assemblage is such as to permit the use of very light lubricant, much more so than with conventional power barrows, thereby providing more efficient lubrication.
- the bearing adjustment such is accomplished with ease thru the nut structure at the outer end of the gang shaft.
- the assemblage provides for strength thru elimination of the necessity of cotter pins, holes in shafts, etc.
- the unique angling effect permits the draft from the power unit to be applied at the fartherest possible distance from the bearing weight and exert the largest possible amount of leverage on the cylinder gangs with given amount of energy.
- the common method of using the harrow will be to plow one-half of new soil with one gang while going over the previously plowed area with the other gang.
- the tendency in disc harrowing is to cause a lateral piling up of the soil at the outer end of the gang. Because the gangs when in forward angled position are also vertically angled so that the outer discs are higher than the inner discs such will compensate for this condition of plowing or harrowing by leaving the finely harrowed area in properly leveled condition.
- the slide box 58 may be reversed, to compensate for wear.
- a frame including an elongated tongue structure, a pair of disc type gangs, a slide member movable along the tongue forwardly of the gangs, link means connecting the slide member with the outer ends of the gangs, means to releasably hold the position of the slide member in desired adjustment along the tongue to hold the angled positioning of the gangs, an upright standard fixedly connected with the tongue between said gangs, a vertically adjustable slide member upon said standard, link means connecting said last mentioned slide member with the outer ends of the gangs, means to adjust and hold the position of the slide member upon said standard to vary the outer end elevation of said gangs, and draft connecting means connecting the inner ends of said gangs to said frame, said upright being inclined at its upper end at a slight angle rearwardly to the vertical whereby upon forward movement of the outer ends of the gangs said outer ends of the gangs will elevate to limited degree with respect to the inner ends.
- a supporting frame structure a pair of gangs, means connecting said gangs to the frame structure on individual horizontal axes at their adjacent ends so that the outer end of the gangs can be swung upwardly for vertical angling, means connecting said gangs at their inner ends independently to the frame structure on substantially vertical axes so the gangs can be swung forwardly in substantially a horizontal plane for forward angling, and means connecting the gangs to the frame for synchronizing the movement of vertical angling with the movement of horizontal forward angling of the gangs so that as said gangs are swung forwardly they will be lifted slightly at their outer ends in a vertical direction and in proportion to the forward angling.
- a supporting frame structure including a forwardly extending tongue and an upstanding standard rigidly connected at the rear end to the tongue, a pair of gangs, means independently mounting the gangs at their adjacent ends to the standard upon substantially vertical pivot axes so the gangs can be swung forwardly, said last mentioned means providing loose connections to permit the gangs at their outer ends to be also swung slightly upwardly in vertical direction, pivot means on the frame structure connecting each of the gangs adjacent to said vertical pivotal axes upon horizontal pivot axes to permit of vertical swinging of the gangs at their outer ends, and means connected to the upper end of the standard above the said pivot axes swivelly connecting the outer ends of the gangs to said standard.

Other objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent from the following detailed description.

Figure 13 is a modification showing means for quick release of a draft connection with the barrow tongue.
Figure 14 is a fragmentary view showing the inner draft connections of the gangs with the rear frame structure of the harrow.
Figure 15 is a fragmentary view showing modifled means for quick adjustment of the outer ends of the disc gangs for the purpose of varying the vertical angle thereof.
In the drawings, wherein for the purpose of illustration are shown preferred and modified forms of the invention, the letter A may generally designate the improved harrovv. It includes a frame B having a plurality of gangs C connected therewith by forward draft connection D and rear draft connections E. Means F is provided for adjusting the vertical working angle of the gangs.
Referring to the frame structure B, the same includes a tongue I 0 formed of a pair of angle irons I I and I2, positioned as shown in Fig. 4 with the vertically positioned leg portions 13 and I l thereof spaced to provide way I5. Upper legs 16 and i1 thereof lie in the same plane and are adapted to slidably receive the front draft connection box structure I3.
Broadly it is old to forwardly angle harrow gangs. The specific improvements with respect to the outer end draft connection consists of the box i8 above described. It includes a top plate 20 having welded at the under side thereof guide channels 2I and 22 which respectively slide on the outer margins of the tongue flanges IS and H, as shown in Figure 4. To the laterally projecting ends of the box plate 20 are pivotally connected the upstanding ends 24 of draft links 25 and 26, in any approved manner, such as by stud ends and cotter pins. The slide box will move along the tongue structure, as is quite apparent.
The disc gang angle varies widely in degree according to the type of work desired. The structure mainly includes an adjustment bar having a series of pin receiving openings 3i therein. The bar 30 is provided with a pair of attaching studs 32*, in spaced relation, which may be detachably connected by bolts 32 with the vertical leg portions of the angles II and I2 in any of a series of appropriately spaced openings 33 provided therefor. This constitutes a major adj ust ment for angling. For minor angling adjustments a latch structure 40 is provided. It includes an attaching bar 4i having a detachable pin connection 42 with any of the series of openings 3!, and at its opposite end having pivoted thereto a latch lever 43 by means of a pivot pin 4 The latch lever 43 is provided with a stop plate l adapted to receive thereagainst the plate 20 of the slide box I8, when the details of the latching arrangement are in the position shown in Figure 3, for the purpose of holding the gangs at an angle. In order to release the slide box it is merely necessary for the operator thru the latching cord 46 to pull the latch lever to the position shown in Figure 2, and the slide box can move past the stop plate 45, thru a camming action which will be perfectly apparent.
When stalled or stuck the operator may release the anglin latch. This will temporarily free the tractor entirely from the load. The power unit will then be able to move to firm soil and pull the harrow out of working angle until freed from the stalled position. Upon reversing the power unit, the working angle will be automatically set, since (assumin the parts are then in the position shown in Figure l) the tongue will slide thru the slide box with a camming action along the sloping under edge of the bar 4! until the slide box moves past the stop plate 45, and the positions are automatically set.
Independent of the angling latch arrangement for freeing the power unit, I may provide a modifiled feature, such as shown in Figure 13, for accomplishing the same purpose. This consists of attachin to the tongue structure iii a barrel type casing ll, as at 18. The barrel or sleeve casing t? slidably receives a rod Q8 having a telescoping action therewith. It is provided with a head 59 adapted to be latched by a latch 50 in position against forward movement with respect to the tongue ID. The power unit draft connection 5! has a detachable connection 52 with a clevis arrangement secured to the slide bar 48. The latch 59 is controlled by the operatorfroin the power unit thru a line 53. Unlatching thru pulling on the line will permit the rod 48 to move through the sleeve t! and of course the power unit or tractor is then temporarily disconnected from the load of the harrow. The power unit can move ahead to firm soil and when the harrow is pulled out of position after the working angles of the discs have been straightened the power unit can be reversely moved and the telescoping action and latch securement will be automatic. Both this type of connection and the angling latch connection above described can be incorporated in the same harrow.
Referring to the power unit clevis type of connection for the tongue, the same includes an upper supporting part 55 detachably connected as at 53 to the tongue angles through risers 55 and 55, the former of which constitutes a stop for slide plate 28. The clevis can be vertically adjusted thru bolt connection on selected openings 55 The lower part 57 is pivotally connected at 58 to the stationary tongue connected part 55. The parts 55 and 51 are spaced at their fore ends and receive a detachable draft connecting pin or bolt 55. When the latter is removed the part 5'! may be SWllIlg sideways. This clevis arrangement prevents shimming, running sideways, dipping, digging in, and running at an uneven depth,
and enables smooth, even mulching of the soil. The simplicity of connection and disconnection is obvious, allowing the harrow tongue to be raised or lowered without moving the power unit. It is sufficiently flexible to permit the power unit and harrow to be driven over seams, ditches and uneven land contours.
Referring to the assemblage of the gangs C, each of the same includes a dead axle 60 upon which the disc tube or cylinder 65 rotates; being supported at its ends upon the dead axle 60 by tapered thrust bearings. The outer end is supported upon a double thrust bearing 63, as shown in Figure 9. The outer bearing structure includes a steel sleeve S t having a ground fit on the dead end of the axle and adapted to receive bearing thrust. 'Outwardly the sleeve is encased in a conventional seal ring 65 having washers 65 at each side thereof to prevent lubricant leakage. The inner end of the dead axle 60 is provided with a draft connecting block 'lil which may be welded as at H. The outer end of the cylinder is provided with a pair of steel spacer rings or sleeves 12 having thereabout conventional seal rings 13 and provided with intermediate and end washers 14, one of which abuts against the thrust bearing 52. The bearing 62 is held in place upon the outer end of the axle by means of a nut :6 threaded upon the axle and engaging against one of the washers M. This nut 16 is kerfed at its outer side for receiving certain rib portions ll welded upon bracket arm 18; the latter being attached to the outer end of the axle by means of a nut '59 threaded upon the outer end of the axle, as shown in Figure 9. Oil or lubricant is supplied to the space 89 between the axle and the rotating cylinder Bl thru a fitting 82 secured upon the outer end of the axle. This feeds lubricant thru a passageway 83 and. a lateral duct 84 into the space 80.
It is quite obvious that the axles may vary in length, for receiving the desired number of plowing discs. To that end, the assemblage is accomplished from the outer end of the axle. The innermost disc 85 abuts against a plate 86 which may be welded or otherwise secured upon the extreme inner end of the tube 6|. The disc assemblages from thereon are detachable (from the outer end of the tube 64). Seating plates 87 are located at the inner sides of the discs for receiving the smaller ends of the tapered spacer sleeves 88; the latter at the outer ends thereof being provided with flanged portions 89 for receiving the adjacent disc 85 in socketed engagement thereagainst. The outermost disc 35 at the concaved side thereof may have a ring 81 against which a disc retaining nut 88 engages. The nut 88 is threaded upon the externally threaded outer end of the cylinder 6i, as shown in Figure 9 of the drawings. It has a bifurcated split portion 89 adapted to receive a clamping bolt 98 for the purpose of clamping the nut in proper position against accidental movement after its position has been set upon the screw threaded portion of the cylinder.
The facility with which the disc assemblage may be tightened is obvious. The nut 88 elimihates the necessity of special wrenching, since the clamp bolt 98 can be moved with a common wrench and the proper adjustment made by hammering the nut 88 upon its external lug provided surfacing, as will be noted from Figures 1 and 12.
The gang structure C each include a weight box N6, of channel formation. They swing with the gang arrangement. Individual weighing of the gangs permits desired weight adjustment in order to secure equal penetration of the gan on plowed surfacing while the other gang is operating on rough or unplowed surfacing, and the advantages of which will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The outside frame bracket 18 of each gang is properly bowed to make provision for turning of the outside discs. It is inturned over the top of the bottom of the weight box E and bolted at I0! to the weight box, as shown in Figure 10. Each bracket 18 may have a welded forward extension :02, for attachment of the rear ends of the draft links 26 and 21. These draft links are convexed at their outer ends adjacent the pivotal connections with the bracket extension M32, as shown at I83, for the purpose of warding off objects which may get in the way of the harrow and for striking glancing blows off shrubs, fences, etc.
The inner ends of the channel-shaped weight boxes I00 are provided with detachable connecting brackets I04, best shown in Figure '7 of the drawings. They have lower vertically positioned end portions I05, also shown in cross section in Figure 8. These portions I of the brackets I04 have bolts I06 pivotally connecting them to the upper ends of the attaching blocks I0 at the inner ends of the gang shafts, as shown in Figure 8.
The under sides of the weight boxes I00 are provided with suitable detachable scrapers I0l for the concaved sides of the discs. The weight boxes serve not only as frame structures for reinforcing the disc cylinders and the gangs, but also provide means for adding weight in a balanced condition to the gangs, and afford means for support of the scrapers.
Referring to the inner draft connection E for the gangs, a standard I I0 is provided. It is sturdy and extends thru th space between the tongue angles at the rear of the tongue I0, as shown in Figure 8, and is bolted thereto at l The standard III] at its lower end is provided with lateral extensions I II and H2 (see Figure 14) provided with vertically disposed openings H3 therethru which are flared with an upward divergence. The gang bracket arms I04 of the two independent gang structures are each provided with forwardly disposed welded extensions II5 and provided with upwardly disposed spindles or studs I I6 adapted to seat in the bearing openings II3. These spindles IIIS are upwardly flared in convergent shape so that they may have a rocking action in their bearing openings I I3; as will occur when the gangs are lifted in a vertical plane for varying the vertical angle at the outer ends of the gangs, under circumstances to be subsequently described.
Attention is called to the fact that the standard H0 in addition to its bolting at III to the rear end of the frame tongue I0 is also secured in position by means of an angle piece I20, shown in Figures 6 and 8, by a forwardly and downwardly extending brace bar I2I connected detachably at I22 to the tongue I0. The standard IIO has a rearward inclination of 2 Referring to angle adjusting means F, for further support of the outer ends of gangs C, and to insure proper angle inclination of the discs of th gangs under circumstances to be hereinafter described, I provide a vertically adjustable sleeve or box structure I 30 non-rotatably slidable upon the upper end of the standard H0. It has laterally extending wings I3I to which the upper and inner ends of supporting and connecting 6,, rods I34 are connected, as shown in Figure 7. This adjusting sleeve or casing I30 is maintained in desired spaced adjustment with respect to the rear end of the tongue I0 by means of a supporting member I35, shown in Figure 8 as bolted or connected at I36 between the angles at the rear end of the tongue I0. The member I35 at its upper end is screw threaded and adjustably bolted as at I31 to a flanged portion I38 of the adjustable box or casing sleeve I30. The outer ends of the supporting and connecting rods I34 are pivotally connected to apertured ears of straps hi0 which are attached in the recessed top surfaces of a rotation preventing channel I4I which straddles the top portion of the brace 18, as shown in Figure 10; the bolt IOI securing all of these pieces l iii, I4I, I8 and I00 together at this point. Brief reference at this time will be made to the fact that merely by adjusting the nut I31 the sleeve 530 may be moved along the standard to vary the position of the outer ends of the gangs, as will be quit apparent.
The box I3ii is built up of welded pieces in the shape shown in the cross sectional view Figure 11.
The inner ends of th gangs at the weight boxes IIO are further connected and supported by means of bracket extensions I50 which are link connected at I5I with th angle piece I20 above described. These links provide proper support and draft for the gangs at the inner ends in addition to the lower connections above described and also permit of the outer ends of the gangs to gradually lift as they are swung from their axially aligned position into forward angled position. Of course this movement is enabled by reason of the oif-vertical position of the standards H0, as shown in Figure 8, which always controls the position of the box I30, however adjusted on the standard, and likewise controls the pivot connections of the connecting rods I34 with respect to the pivot connections of the links I5I.
Referring to Figure 6, it will be noted that when the gangs are in axial alignment as during normal inoperative travel of the harrow, the lower edges of the discs lie in the same horizontal plane designated by dot and dash line I60. However, due to the structure immediately above described, as the gangs are angled forwardly, the outer ends of the discs are gradually elevated until the lower edges of the discs lie in planes at an acute angle to the horizontal, as designated by the lines IBI and I62.
It will be noted that the mechanism which controls the vertical tilting of the gangs is centrally located Means other than that described may be provided to regulate the degree of angling, such as shown in Figure 15 where the box or slide I30 which corresponds to the slide box I30 above described, may be lifted by a regulating lever I70 pivoted thereto at Ill. The lever III at its rear end, beyond the standard IIO, may be provided with an adjustable pin connection I12 with a supporting rod I73 pivoted at I'M upon the rear end of the tongue structure I0. It is obvious that due to the spacing of the pivot connections I70 and 412, the box I31} may be raised or lowered. I may provide a suitable control pawl I15 upon the lever I70 operating over a detent segment IIB which may be attached to the box I30 the same being pro vided with teeth between which the pawl may seat to hold th proper adjustment of the slide box I30. This leverage assemblage may extend to the power unit if desired, and also other means may be used for securing quick adjustment of the tilting angle of the gangs, such, for instance, as thru conventional hydraulic mechanism, etc.
It is obvious that both gangs run at perfect level when the gangs are in axial alignment, thereby lessening danger of breakage to any individual discs when passing over rough, stony places or other hazardous objects or when being transported.
The ordinary method of use of the harrow will be to cut one gang thru already harrowed surfacing while the other gang section is operating on unplowed land. It is thus obvious that individual weighting of the gangs is very important otherwise the harrow would be subject to transverse sliding and cause uneven plowing, and at the same time causing the gangs on stalky or trashy unplowed soil to leave undesirable piles of debris. By adding additional weight to the gangs on the unplowed soil the debris is left in an even condition so that the opposite gang will not encounter difficulty in handling such. As the result of individual weighting of the gangs there is an even plowing and distribution of debris in the plowed soil.
With respect to the use of multiple bearings, compactness is provided, eliminating the necessity for special discs with large central openings. With multiple bearings the required amount of radial and thrust resistance is obtained and standardizing of bearing seals and bearings is provided. Also, the bearing assemblage is such as to permit the use of very light lubricant, much more so than with conventional power barrows, thereby providing more efficient lubrication. As to the bearing adjustment, such is accomplished with ease thru the nut structure at the outer end of the gang shaft. The assemblage provides for strength thru elimination of the necessity of cotter pins, holes in shafts, etc.
The unique angling effect permits the draft from the power unit to be applied at the fartherest possible distance from the bearing weight and exert the largest possible amount of leverage on the cylinder gangs with given amount of energy.
As before stated, the common method of using the harrow will be to plow one-half of new soil with one gang while going over the previously plowed area with the other gang. The tendency in disc harrowing is to cause a lateral piling up of the soil at the outer end of the gang. Because the gangs when in forward angled position are also vertically angled so that the outer discs are higher than the inner discs such will compensate for this condition of plowing or harrowing by leaving the finely harrowed area in properly leveled condition.
The slide box 58 may be reversed, to compensate for wear.
Various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be made to the forms of invention herein shown and described without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of th following claims.
