It has 8 discs that share a common axle, all wheels are steel with weights on the trailing wheel and right side wheel. the frame looks adjustable for stoney, soft, medium, and hard ground with the settings being cast on the frame along with m822 aw. it is a drag type with a mechanical clutch lift and a long hand cranked handle that threads into a bow tie shaped cast iron piece with john deere cast on it. Now the second thing i need help with, there are a few parts that have remnants of red paint on them such as the tail wheel parts of the clutch mechanism and the right side wheel which is also connected to the hitch to aid steering. Is this correct? I cant imagine a john deere implement with red paint on it, but I cant see a farmer detailing a green plow with red paint either. thanks in advance for any helpful answers.

Photo would help ID. Some of the older JD implements had red paint on them although I don't remember seeing a disk tiller with red paint. This post was edited by Tx Jim at 03:39:31 11/27/12 2 times.

It became easier and cheaper after the war started to just use the green all the way instead of a mix of red and green. We had one that sounds about like that years ago and could never find a model for it, I had a operators manual for a McCormic of the same time frame that we used as a guide for setting up and operating.
