The present lnventlon relates to new and useful improvements in dem forming attachments for listers of the tractor attached type and has for its primary object to provide, in a. manner co hereinafter set forth, a devlce of this character which is adopted to form spaced dams lo the furrows or ditches left by the llster shovels or plows thereby preventing excessive washing army of the sell by ram. 7

Another very lmportant object of the lnventlo is to provide on attachment of the aforementloned character embodying novel means for com heating the oo'm forming members to the wheels of the tractor for periodical actuation thereby.

Other objects of the invention ore to provlcle e dam forming attachment of the chorocter oesorlhecl which willhe comparatively simple lo construction, strong, stumble, highly eficient and reliable in use, compact, llght in weight and which may he manufactured at low cost.

All of the foregoing ororl still further objects and advohteges of the invention will become up parent from o study of the following soeclflco= tlon, toheo. in connection with the occomoofl e drawings wherein like characters of relerence deslgnote oorrespoorllug ports throughout the severe-l views, and wherelu:

Referring now to the drawings in detail, it wlll be seen thot the embodiment of the invention which hos been illustrated comprises eirs of hearings tvhlch are rlgluly secured in ony sultolole manner on the rear exile housing 2 of o convehtionol tractor l3 between the reor wheels 3 of selcl troctor and the dlflerentlol housing 5.

What is claimed is:

1. A dam forming attachment for wheeled llsters comprising a beam pivotally connected to the lister for swinging movement in a vertical plane, a scraping element mounted on said beam and adapted to travel in the ditch made by the lister plow, and means operatively connecting the beam to one of the wheels of the lister for periodically "lifting said element out of the ditch, said means including a shaft rotatably mounted on the lister,'an arm projecting from said shaft, a

flexible member connecting the beam to-said arm,

a lever projecting from the shaft, and a trip on said one wheel engageable with the lever for actuating the shaft and the arm-in a direction to lift the beam.

2. A dam forming attachment for wheeled listers comprising, a pair of transversely aligned bearings mounted on the rear axle housing of the lister adjacent one of the rear wheels, a shaft journaled in said bearings, an arm on the inner end of said shaft, a lever on the outer end of the shaft, a pair of bars pivotally secured to the lister beam on opposite sides thereof for swinging movement in a vertical plane, a beam rigidly secured between said bars, a shank adlustably mounted on the second named beam, a tr ansverse, inclined scraping disc mounted on said shank and adapted to travel in the ditch left by the lister plow, a trip mounted on said one wheel of the lister and engageable with the lever for swinging the arm forwardly, and a chain connecting the arm to the second named beam for periodically lifting the scraping element out of the ditch.

3. A dam forming attachment for wheeled listers comprising a pair of bars pivotally connected to the lister beam on opposite sides thereof for-swinging movement in a vertical plane, a beam rigidly secured between said bars, a scraping element mounted on the second named beam and adapted to travel in the ditch left by the llster plow, a rod secured between the bars and extending upwardly and rearwardiy therefrom, an arm mounted for swinging movement on the tractor, a chain connecting the second named beam to said arm for lifting the scraping element out of the ditch, said chain being secured, at an intermediate point, to the rod for forming an angle in said chain, and means operatively connecting the arm to one of the wheels of the tractor for periodic actuation thereby.
