Ira Burley, Redwing, Minn.--This invention consists in the combination
of wheels and axle, tongue, adjusting bar, adjustable brace, uprights,
cross bar, two ropes, and four pulley blocks with each other. To the
forward end of the tongue is attached a loop or clevis, to receive an
iron pin, to be driven into the ground to keep the machine from moving
about while being used. To the pulley block is swiveled a hook, to be
hooked into a loop, attached to the forward end of a lever. The rear
end of the lever passes through a slot in the upper end of a fulcrum
post, and has a notch formed in its lower side to receive a bolt or
pin, attached to said post to serve as a fulcrum to said lever.
Several notches are formed in the lever to receive the fulcrum bolt,
to enable the position of the fulcrum post to be adjusted to regulate
the leverage, and as circumstances may require. To the lever is
attached a strong clevis, to receive the hook of the chain, that is
secured to the stump to be pulled.
