I came across it hanging on a nail in the tool shed the other day. It was in pretty bad shape. All the blades were gone. Both wheels missing. The frame was rusty, faded and dirty. I cleaned it up. Painted it. I ordered new blades and new wheels from Dakota Toys which they promptly sent. Here"s the finished product. (P.S. I still have the JD 3020 that I got along with the disk. It could use a touch up as well. Might do that next.) [Reply]   [No Email]

Not restored, but displayed. Also have his 3020, repainted and under a restored long-nose picker, a 4 bottom pull-type plow and a 4 row corn planter. All still in good shape. Stan [Reply]  [No Email]

I'm thinking the first one was the strap type on the lift if memory serves me right. Had the drag type with the metal blades before that one. [Reply]  [No Email]
