A tool box has a bottom portion, a pair of side portions, a back portion, a front portion, and a cover rotatably mounted adjacent the back portion. The cover has a horizontal section and a slanted section sloping downwardly from the horizontal section. A partition plate is positioned in the interior of the tool box and has a peg sheet mounted thereto with a row of pegs extending upwardly from the top of the partition plate. The upper ends of the pegs contact or are in close proximity to the horizontal section of the cover when the cover is in its closed position such that tools disposed on the pegs are secured in position. A pair of compartments are positioned in the interior, one near the bottom of the box and one intermediate the bottom and the top, both having a cover structure disposed thereon with peg sheets for maintaining tools in secured and unsecured positions.

A rolling toolbox is provided which has a generally rectangular frame. The frame forms an interior compartment and has a front plate, a rear plate and opposing end plates mounted thereon. The front plate has an opening therein. Mounted to the frame in pivotal relationship is at least one bin which has an end plate, a retaining plate and opposing side plates. Mounted to the retaining plate is a rearwardly extending latch. A drawer is slidingly received within the frame through the drawer opening. The drawer has a handle extending upwardly therefrom. The handle of the drawer matingly fits with the latch of the bin to hold the bin in a closed position during transport of the toolbox. The bin may be opened by pulling thereon, the latch releasing from the handle upon the application of an opening force on the bin.

A seed delivery device is positioned on the seed tube of a planter and between a pair of V-oriented opening disks. The device has an elongated duct having an upper end with an opening capable of being disposed in spatial communication with the seed tube. A lower end of the duct has an opening which is positioned directly behind and adjacent to the location where the pair of opening disks contact one another. The duct extends along a substantially straight line below the seed tube so that a seed traveling through the duct is directed in a substantially downward direction into a V-shaped trench. Structure is also provided for attaching the duct to the planter.

A tool box has a bottom portion, a pair of side portions, a back portion, a front portion, and a cover rotatably mounted adjacent the back portion. The cover has a horizontal section and a slanted section sloping downwardly from the horizontal section. A partition plate is positioned in the interior of the tool box and has a row of pegs extending upwardly from the top of the partition plate. The upper ends of the pegs can contact or be in close proximity to the horizontal section of the cover when the cover is in its closed position such that tools disposed on the pegs are secured in position. A shaft is rotatably supported along the front portion and has structure attached along its length for engaging the cover to secure the cover in its closed position. The shaft is rotated by an actuating member so that the engaging structure can be brought into contact with the cover to seal the cover. A compartment is positioned in the interior near the bottom of the box and has a cover structure disposed thereon for maintaining tools in secured and unsecured positions.

A scraper is provided for use on depth gauge wheels provided on planters for row crops such as corn, soybeans, cotton, beans, peanuts and the like. The scraper includes a scraper blade which is mounted at one end portion of an elongated arm for contacting the outer circumference of the depth gauge wheel and a second scraper blade that is mounted on the elongated arm at a position for preventing the accumulation of debris in the recessed well formed in the face of the depth gauge wheel. The other end of the arm is mounted by a bearing assembly to a hub provided on the depth gauge wheel. The bearing assembly is mounted coaxially with the axis of rotation of the wheel so that the arm remains stationary as the wheel rotates. In addition, the scraper blade remains in contact with the wheel as the wheel is moved in vertical and fore-and-aft directions. A support bolt is also received within an elongated opening presented by a U-shaped member mounted at the free end portion of the scraper arm to stabilize and reduce unnecessary movement of the scraper arm.

A storage lock box is provided for parts such as washers, bolts, nuts and the like. The lock box has an inclined shelf within that is provided with a plurality of holes for storing bolts, while the shelf is closed off by a pivotable cover which has a plurality of pegs for storing washers and nuts, and the like. The pegs of the cover abut against the cover lid of the lock box when the cover lid is closed so that the cover is prevented from rotating, thereby preventing the parts on the pegs of the cover and in the holes of the shelf from falling out of their storage locations during transport of the lock box.

Compact position lock parts bin

A tool chest, including specific locations therein for placement of various tools, the chest having a compartmented case and hinged cover, a row of hooks from which some tools are hung and a perforated shelf through which some other of the tools are fitted, and the cover in a closed position preventing the tools from falling out of the compartments, off the hooks and out of the shelf holes in case the chest is overturned.
