Too young to know what kind of disc this is!

I have a Super C. I am looking for a disc for it to pull. My neighbor found one in a fence line but neither one of us know any thing about it. It needs some new coulters. A description would be that it has four gangs of blades with about six blades per gang. There are no wheels for travel, only the gangs. When you want to travel you just back up and a latching mechanism allows the blades to line up straight and you can pull it without turning any soil. If you open the latch and drive forward the angle is changed on all four gangs and has several settings as to how aggressive you want to work the soil!! This is the neatest little disc and very hard working. It is only about 6 feet wide and I have pulled a section of drag behind it. My version of "one pass tillage." I have borrowed it and it worked great with the farmall. Now I want one for my line up. Any one know what kind it is, what it is worth, can i get parts? Can't wait to find one and get out to work the land!! Love this sight and Happy Farmalling!

Butch, I use a 8 foot Mccormick NO.10A disc harrow behind my farmall 300 of which operates the same as the one you mentioned above. Mccormick made them in different width's and size. They made a Mccormick NO.10A and the Heavier model Mccormick NO.9 which had a roller on front frame. What I like about these disc is that you can power adjust them quickly to full digging angle with the tractor for going over fresh plowed area. Then gradually back off digging angle as you make passes to end up with smooth field. You can also wire on cement block for extra digging power if needed. I also use a large drag behind mine to really get a smooth finish. The only thing that one should keep an eye on, is that the bearing must be greased often since they are very exposed to dirt. I'm not 100 percent sure if the disc's that you talk about are the exact same ones, but maybe this will give you somewhere to start for help in identifying them.

Thanks, Ray in Pa.

I used a 6 foot IH tandem disk, with the same adusting mechanism, several summers before I went to college. I don't remember the model number. You are lucky the one you found isn't worn out. You might be able to find the individual disks, as they are probably generic -- the bearings and spacers might be a problem. The spacers do break after a lot of use. Good luck. Wheel control is more convenient, particularly when turning, but you have to have the remote attachment for your tractor.

Small tandem disk harrows were made by many manufacturers. You could find them from around 5 ft. up to 8 or 9 feet wide. We used them for years. When the first wheeled disks came out, we thought we were in high society farming.

And some of those disk were made to unfold and become a shallow "V" shaped single disk so you could really cover a lot of ground - just not very deep. My nickel, Dick Davis

I know most IH discs during that time period were made by Dunham not sure that one was also as a guide for your pricing I found a 5ft. JD disc in Neb. for 250. but it is too far away for me and I was only looking for something I could pull with my 2284 Cub Cadet. I know we had a Dunham 7' IH disc but it had a hand crank angle adjust and it had wooden bearings, the disc blades were about the size of dimes. Note the 5' JD disc I spoke about was in very good condition just weathered according to the picture. Another side note make sure you try that disc in full deep cut angle, not for horsepower reasons but traction you may need dual wheels for flotation. I know pulling a 7' disc with an M Farmall without duals in full cut it leaves little trenches you can't cover over plus it affects the planted crops.

When I was young we had an IH set of 6' disks with 2 cranks to adjust and wooden bearings as someone else mentioned, pulled these with SC.
Also had 7' JD that had a rope attached to locking mechanism on hitch tounge. Pull rope and backup to engage in one of many holes, pull rope while going forward to disengage. This was a good feature if you had a wet spot in the field. We pulled these with JD 420U. My brother still uses these today on his garden.
