My New disc harrows

Tom H. · Sep 9, 2015

I bought this set of 3A-BO-22 harrows last year and spent a few months completely restoring them to near new condition. Most of the discs were replaced, worn bushings and bolts replaced, new wooden bearings were turned by my Dad from hardwood. These pictures were taken just before Inused them for the first time yesterday. What a difference from my drag behind set.

My current project is a Ferguson D-21 multi blade. Just waiting for dryer weather to put the final paint on.

I need to mention that during the harrow rebuild, I was able to put them together using an original manual and followed it step by step as if they were just delivered to me off the truck.

I'm curious where you got the blades from.

nnalert. Free shipping depending on what you spend. A big truck arrived with 20 discs for me. Almost went with a fleabayer then started
looking around these were a buck or so more but the free shipping more than made the difference.

And they obviously work better than new!
I was impressed how well it handled Berkshire rock... I mean soil...

I'm sure pulling those made your tractor grunt !

Nah, pulled them in 1st and 2nd gear just a bit above idle. I think have smooth running discs doing their job correctly rather than flopping
around in bad,loose, bearing also made a big difference.
