Well it's heading to the crusher. The shaft is NLA and the bearings are 300 bucks a pop. Dealer isn't sure if he can find blades for it. Be cheaper to replace it with something that use common bearings.

Thanks for the help.

Rick:

I'd just send the shafts & Discs to the crusher and
keep everything else. There's a lot of GOOD reusable
steel in that framework, not to mention the Hyd.
cylinder; axle, wheels & tires; Etc. .

I had a snap couple AC 8 ft pickup disc many years ago, it needed a bearing.

even at that time the axle bearings were $50 ea,

guess the AC company saw it as another way to make more money for the company using such a non standard disc bearing.
 
I"m with Doc; I"d be puttin" all that nice angle iron and square tubing "in stock" for possible future projects or repairs.
 
Oldtanker, head over to the Allis Chalmers site. One of the guys posted a list and photos of replacing the balpack bearings with new roller bearings, with numbers for these disc's. Much cheaper and just as effective as the originals. For the axle a good machine shop can make one for you fairly cheap.

What doesn't work there is the time. I've got a 4 day window right now to get my hay and wheat planted, then it's supposed to rain yet again. Machine shops in the area are generally a week to 10 days out for most things. Hay is going in tomorrow but I blew the upper radiator hose on the tractor finishing up disking that field. So in the morning I'm running again. SIL is going to start planting hay I the morning while I'm fixing the hose then I'm disking the wheat ground and hope he can start with the wheat right behind me. We haven't had very much dry weather lately. And it's supposed to get wet again on Sunday.
