Parts for John Deere KBL Disk Harrow

Dean in Georgia · Dec 22, 2010

I have a mid 50's KBL disc harrows that needs new disks and bearing boxes. I actually have the operators manual, so I have the part numbers. I am trying to decide whether to attempt repairs or sell it to the scrap yard and buy a working, rebuilt set of harrows. Anyone know if these parts are available and if so, where?
Thanks

Disks are generic, just need the right type of hole. There was a place in Pennsylvania a few years ago called Groffdale Machine that was producing K-series bearing parts, but I don't know if they are still in business. Does Deere still have them??? I'd check . . . you'd be surprised what's still in the warehouses.

Deere had the parts about 10 years ago. The kid at the computer couldn't find them, the old parts man was walking by looking at something else, looked at what I had brought in, reached around the corner of the parts isle & sat the bearings on the counter in front of me. Not cheap.

Shoup (nail order, on-line) also had them at that time, tho they no lonfger show up on their parts lists, they had them....

But that was 10 years ago....

Anywhere you can find Amish you will find a source for KBA disc parts. In PA they are building new KBA's and have all the parts for them. But you won't find them on the internet.

I need part KK 4646 B, which is a Box, Bearing, Front Half. I haven't taken it apart, but that part is visibly broken. A local implement dealer said he could rebuild it for me, so I may have him take a look at it to decide what to do with it.

Why do they want KBAs? I have one and I haven't found dragging it around to be very productive.

You can find the bearing halves for the John Deere KBL Disk Harrow on ebay if you do a search (and, don't forget to save it in your saved searches) using the part number that you listed in your post. I have a KBL and use it all the time. They run about $20 per half, as I recall.

Dean, before you send your KBL disk harrow to the scrap yard, send me a message or email. I might want to buy it and will pay better than scrap prices for it. Need the parts and am located at Florida/Georgia line. Let me know. Good luck.
