I am trying to find out what my dad is talking about. I am looking for a Ford four disc tiller as he calls it. Other than it having the four discs on it, there is supposed to be a arm that goes to the right hand stabilizer connection. I someone has one or know where I can get a picture of one will you advise me. Thanks.
 
here are some pictures of disc tillers
I know ford made one as I have seen pictures of it working behind an 8N or 600 Ford tractor, but could not find a picture of one, with a short search,
but this is the concept.

note it is not a disc plow as a disc plow has each disc blade mounted individually to the frame.

the disc tiller has all blades turning together as one gang of a disc.
if you have one or can purchase one reasonably, buy it and save it from the scraper, they must be a fairly rare implement.

roadman,
back in the day before we had the present day tractor rototillers, this implement was also referred to as a field cultivator or tiller,

obviously not a disc tiller, but still tiller.

We had a pull type JD tiller. 4' cut, 5 blades. Extremely heavy, Wheels were extremely heavy (actually bolted together castings.)
Was about all our JD B wanted on some situations. Did an awesome job of cutting up the worst of sod. Second trip over the field, crossways was sure a rough ride. Wish I could come up with one now.
 
I think I found it:
was made for Dearborn/Ford by the Taylor company,


Taylor Disc Tiller model number 10-64

look it up, it has four disc blades and a rod that goes up from the left side to the stabilizer to keep it straight.

again if you have one, then hang on to it, must be rare
 
Wellmax you are absolutely correct, we had one at home. The furrow wheel steering was controlled by the bar that is connected to the furrow wheel via a bellcrank. That bar twists and turns as it meanders through the plow to the right side of the tractor under the right rear axle housing where it connects to the same point where anti-sway stabilizers connect. It did a poor job of keeping the tiller tracking correctly and the furrow wheel frequently would weave up and out of the furrow.
