Pretty good price on a Flex O Hitch

This disc is too big for an N but a Jube or Hundred would handle it.
They are nice discs and were painted Red and then Blue when Ford changed colors.
I have one that I restored several years ago.
It was a 10' but I cut it down to 8' for my 3000.
Someone could do that with this one too - cut it down to 5 discs per gang.
Good price on it anyway - for around here.
Photos are of my disc before and after I cut it.

Not my ad
 
Ford had some kind of deal going with their Os.
Select O Speed, Rest O Ride, Exact O Speed (the throttle on your Jube) and Flex O Hitch. Probably other names too.
The A frame that the 3 point hooks to on a Flex O Hitch was not rigidly attached to the main frame of the disc. It used a pair of links between the A frame and the main frame that allowed it to float - both side to side and up and down. Supposedly allowed the disc to follow the ground better but maybe was as much a gimmick as anything, as I've never seen any other manufacturer using it.
But like HCook says it did allow for much easier attaching the pins to the lift arms.
It's a pretty distinctive feature to those who have seen them.
They are a good disc. Not real heavy but they do a nice job of finishing.
Small discs go for pretty good $ here and the one in the ad is just a nice period Ford implement to hook onto your N, Jube, Hundred or Thousand and use - for a reasonable price.

That's a nice looking disc (yours is even better, UD).

It looks like a 10' to me, much too big for a Jubilee.

In my area, an 8** or 9** series would need to be heavily ballasted and likely need duals to handle it well in plowed ground.
