gtski I dont see how u coulda wore out a couple of IHC discs. Ive got the first disc I ever bought at age 17 at St Joseph Mo IHC on 4th St. They were moveing to another location and selling out alla there old machinery. They had 2 discs like mine. One for $50. It had rough blades, and a good one for $75. I bought the cheap one. When dad looked at it after he got off of work, he told me to buy the better one, which I did. Its a IHC 16ft single that origionally had 3ft bat wings on the ends. It is a heavy disc, Dad had a JD the same length and he said that the IHC was a heavier disc. Ive pulled it with F-20s, F-30s, M, IHC, A, B JD, CC Case, Never had a problem till I got down here in Okieland. The Case has narrow tires, and it was hard to turn it around. The F-30 I had down here never knew it was behind it. I always let the drawbar swing free which helps immensely on turns.
I broke a housing when I put new discs on it around 20yrs ago. Last year, I broke 2 discs on the R end. I had to pull the section that had the broken housing. The steel axle looked as good at that point as it did at other points that had full housings. Id say this disc is good for another 50yrs. Id like to straighten the outside brace bars, but thats not such an easy job, so,. That being bent comes from not haveing a swinging drawbar, I DO got to remake the lever that lets the disc open and close. It finally broke a couple years ago, and i remade it. When I flipped the disc over on its back to get at those 2 broken discs, I broke it again. It has all square head bolts and nuts, and I tried to replace all the hex head I had put on it over 50yrs.

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
