Mishnah for Kelim 21:2

הַנּוֹגֵעַ בָּעֹל, וּבַקַּטְרָב, בָּעַיִן, וּבָעֲבוֹת, אֲפִלּוּ בִשְׁעַת מְלָאכָה, טָהוֹר. בַּחֶרֶב, וּבַבֹּרֶךְ, וּבַיָּצוּל, טָמֵא. בָּעַיִן שֶׁל מַתֶּכֶת, בַּלְּחָיַיִן, וּבָעֲרָיִין, טָמֵא. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה מְטַהֵר בַּלְּחָיַיִם, שֶׁאֵינָם עֲשׂוּיִן אֶלָּא לְרַבּוֹת אֶת הֶעָפָר:

One who touches the yoke, the crossbar, the collar-piece, or the thick ropes, even when they are being used, he remains pure. If he touched the handle, knee beam or cross-piece, he becomes impure. [If he touched] the metal rings, the guides, or the mouldboards, he becomes unclean. Rabbi Yehudah says that he remains clean if he touched the guides since they are only made to pierce the soil.
