I have a new idea 10' hydraulic disk with four gangs. The plates on the two rear gangs are beginning to show considerable wear. In fact, two or three disks in each gang are broken and partially missing. I want to replace most of the disks in the two rear gangs. Is this a job that the average hack mechanic can tackle, should I have this done by a repair shop, or should I throw this disk in the ditch and get another used one? Any thoughts?

I have replaced blades on several wheel disks and in a few cases have had a problem removing the bearings due to rust "freezing" the bearings to the shaft. Eventally I get them off by beating, heating or cutting them off. In each re-assembly I coat the shafts with a GENEROUS amount of anti-seize compound which will make a future blade replacement job much easier.

The serrated ones are better at cutting into hard soil or sod, so they go on the front. The smooth ones leave a finer finish, so they are on the back. Check your gang bearings while you're about the job; might be a good time to replace them if needed.

As side above, it's not technically demanding job, but it is hard work. Best kind to do at home!

Changing disk blades isn't a complicated task but you will need large (sometimes really large) wrenches and a strong back. It can be hard work.

Also, it is common to place the new blades on the front and move the more worn (but still usable) blades to the back. The disk will function better this way than if the new blades are in back.

Thanks for the reply. I have serrated teeth in the front and the smooth disks in the back.
