A couple of ways to check bearings. Easiest is to lift it with the 3 point. Gangs should turn freely and not have much up/down movement in the bearings. You can't always lift them with a tractor so bring an 8' 4x4 and a block of wood along. Use the 4x4 as a lever and lift up on the frame (not the axle)and see how much up/down movement there is in the bearing. Some guys have had good luck making new wooden bearings for a disc on a lathe. But I have also seen the spool - the part that turns in the wood - so badly worn out that they crushed when you tightened up the gangs. A lot of the older discs used a 7/8" square axle and no bearings or spools are available for them that I have found. That Ford 201 would most likely have the more modern 1 1/8" square axle and bearings are available for that size. Also easy to find disc blades with 1 1/8" square holes in them. 7/8" blades are harder to find.
