I picked up a Dunham disk over the weekend, it is and 8 ft, with a hand crank in the front to change the angle of the disk. Anyone know anything about these?

The disk is the one with the hand crank, and the back section is hooked up with a pin that changes the angle with the front.

Sounds like the one I was using, mine is 7 blade on a side and back gangs measure even 8'in working position. The parts list I have is for the one with the seperate rear gang control but most of the other parts would be the same. Could you be intersted in copy of parts list?

I just happen to have instrutcions on 2 different models of the drag discs on by desk now, one has the hand crank for angle and the other has a rope control. The hand crank is made in 2 models, one with a lever to set the rear gang angle in relation to the front gangs, the other type, older I think has a pin to change to do that with. I have 2 of the crank models here now, one with each type of rear gang adjustment. The one I have had the front half restored, repaired, and have used it, the other is completly in parts wating for me to get to it. There are several model No. and some have steel bearings while others have wood bearings. How many blades on a side do you have, any part No. you might come up with to tell me what model you have.

What kind of bearings does it have? Are they wood? We had a 7' old sucker disc blades were about the size of kitchen plates but the old girl did a good job as a finish disc because it didn't ridge real bad and had holding boxes to put rocks we would find in the fields which were hard on the blades, the thing looked like Mike Tyson after a planting season with a bunch of broken blades.Dad called it a finish disc, my brothers called it a finished disc because we always thought we were finished with it forever but Dad loved it we always threatened to put a piece of it in his casket with him when he died. Got long winded there. Good kuck with it. CT

You could still buy a Dunham-Lehr disk in the mid 70's. It was a slightly lighter, slightly less expensive disk.

The Dunham Co. was established in 1846 in Berea, OH. They made tillage tools. I found this in 1947 and 1948 farm machinery dealer trade magazines. Dunham tools were somewhat popular in So. IL in the 1950's. I don't know anything recent about them. Jerry
