Abstract
Abstract An agricultural machine with tools adapted to rotate around vertical axis. The tools are carried by shafts located in a housing enclosing intermeshing gear means for driving the shafts by driving one of them only, apertures closable by covers being provided on the faces of the housing for the passage of a driving shaft.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A transmission for an agricultural machine adapted to drive a plurality of tools, said transmission comprising: a parallelepipedal housing having a plurality of walls including at least one horizontal and at least one vertical wall defining the interior of said housing; a plurality of working shafts journaled in said horizontal wall for rotation about respective parallel vertical axes; intermeshing gear means connecting said shafts and including a gear mounted on each of said shafts for rotation of all of said shafts upon rotation of one of said gears; means on said shafts for selectively connecting agricultural tools thereto below said horizontal wall, said one vertical wall being provided with a plurality of closable holes each substantially registering with a respective one of said gears; a bearing assembly registrable with a selected one of said holes and adapted to be fixed to said housing; and a drive shaft journaled in said bearing assembly, extending through said one of said holes and carrying a pinion within said housing operatively connected with a corresponding one of said gears for driving same.
