REUBEN J. TALLEY, OF HARRISVILLE, TEXAS.
IMPROVEMENT IN GRUB-PLOW AND STALK-CUTTER.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 211,433, dated January 14. 1879; application filed
November 12, 1878.To all whom it maz concern:
Be it.known that I, REUBEN J. TALLEY, Of
Harrisville, Bell county, State of Texas, have
invented certain new and useful Improve-
ments in Grub-Plow and Stalk-Cutter; and I
hereby declare the same to be fully, clearly,
and exactly described as follows, reference
being had to the accompanying drawings, in
which-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the de-
vice; Fig. 2, a plan view of the removable cut-
ter.
This invention relates to that class of de-
vices in use for removing grubs from the land;
and it consists in a device for accomplishing
that end,constructed as hereinafter described,
and possessing points of novelty indicated in
the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, A is the
plow-beam, .having a clevis, G, of ordinary or
appropriate construction, and handles a a, also
of the usual form. B is a vertical catter,prefer-
ably of chilled iron, attached by means of a
bolt-rod, b, to the beam A. This bolt serves
also-to secure the saw C or cutter C', which
are furnished with a pair of pins, d', (see Fig.
2,) which enter holes in the base of the cutter
B, the bolt-rod b being made to pass through
the hole e". As an alternative for thepins d',
the cutter or saw is furnished with a dovetail
rib or slot, adapted to engage with a corre-
spondingly-formed slot or rib on the cutter-
base B. E is the rear beam, through whichpasses the bar e, connecting the handles a, and
is stepped and secured in a socket, d, in the
base of the cutter B. D is the colter, se-
cured at the rear of the saw or cutter, and at-
tached by bolts to the beams A and E.
F is the gage-wheel, which is pivoted to
arms f, that in turn are pivoted to the beam
A, and is made vertically adjustable through
the medium of the perforated bars c and pin
e', engaging with a hole in the beam A.
The operation of the device is as follows:
The gage-wheel F being adjusted to the de-
sired depth, the device is drawn over the land,
the saw C serving alike as a subsoiler and to
sever all roots and grubs. The broad verti-
cal cutter B and colter'D) effectually prevent
the device from being driven laterally as it
encounters the grubs or roots.
In cutting cotton-stalks the saw is.unnec-
essary, and the cutter C' is substituted for it,
as hereinbefore explained.
Having thus described my invention, what
I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let-
ters Patent, is-
In a grub-plow, the saw C, in combination
with the cutter B and colter D, substantially
as shown and described.
Witness my hand this 5th day of November,
1878.
