Abstract: A planter may be disclosed, the planter may comprise a handle, a first shaft, a second shaft, and a link. The first shaft may be operatively connected to the handle, link, or second shaft. The link may be arranged to translate rotational motion of the first shaft to the second shaft.

Abstract: A furrow closing apparatus is used with a planter that opens a furrow and deposits seeds as the planter moves in a forward direction over the ground. The furrow closing apparatus includes a frame attached to the planter and first and second closing wheels rotatably mounted on respective first and second closing wheel axles. A pivot axle extends from the frame generally transverse to the direction of travel of the planter and an equalizer bracket pivotably connected to the pivot axle. The equalizer bracket receives the first closing wheel axle in a position aft of the pivot axle and receives the second closing wheel axle in a position forward of the pivot axle such that the equalizer bracket pivots as the closing wheels traverse uneven ground to cause the first closing wheel and the second closing wheel to apply a substantially equal force in closing the furrow.

Abstract: A planter may be disclosed, the planter may comprise a gauge wheel arm, a rod, and a bushing. The gauge wheel arm may comprise a wall defining a through bore. The rod may comprise a first end and a second end. The first end may comprise a male threaded portion. The bushing may pass through the through bore and comprise a female threaded portion coupled to the male threaded portion.

Abstract: This disclosure depicts a novel sidecar for use with a bicycle. The sidecar comprises a sidecar frame having at least three attachment ends, a sidecar wheel and axle attached to one of the attachment ends of the sidecar frame, a holding means attached to the sidecar frame, and first and second securing means for attaching the sidecar frame to the bicycle. The first and second securing means are in alignment with each other such that the sidecar wheel remains in contact with the ground when the bicycle is tilted from side to side.
