Abstract: A mounting assembly is provided for a device for transporting seed from a hopper, upwardly along a conveyor, to a transversely extending seed trough. The mounting assembly includes a stand fixed relative to the seed trough and an elongated frame. The elongated frame includes a top, a bottom, and two sides. The bottom is pivotally mounted to the stand. A carriage is movably coupled to the frame and is arranged to traverse the length of the frame. The mounting assembly also includes a coupling having a base and a union. The base is rotatably mounted to the carriage and the union is pivotally mounted to the conveyor.

Abstract: An improved height adjustable log support is provided for use in a portable sawmill having a horizontally extending blade run and a means for mounting the blade for longitudinal movement along and above the log. The log support includes a log receiving platform supported for vertical movement, lifting means and a cable connecting the platform to the lifting means. The lifting means includes a bar mounted for rotational movement, a bar driving means, such as a crank arm, and a ratchet and pawl for indexing incremental steps of rotational movement of the bar. The log bearing platform is raised incrementally as the cable connected therewith is wound onto the incrementally rotated bar.
