Old disc

I found an old 8ft tandem disc buried in the bushes on a corner of my property. No paint or name. It has a tongue where it is to be hitched to a draw bar. I would like to pull itout and see if I can "resurrect" it to use again. I have never worked on or with a disc. Any suggestions on what to look for?

Four major things that go bad on disks:

1. If it has cast bearing housings, they crack.

2. The bearings are usually shot, and it's next to impossible to find them, particularly if you can't ID the brand and model of the disk.

3. The shot bearings have usually been ignored for 20 years or so, so the disc axles (I guess that's what they're called) are worn about halfway through.

4. The disk blades themselves started out as 16 or 18" and are worn down to about 12", and half of them have chunks missing out of them.

The good news is, you can usually find replacement disks, if you're willing to spend the money.

I have several old discs, we use them in this area for tearing up ground and all. One thing I have noticed is that if you can't find a a brand anywhere else on it sometimes it is on the bearing caps on the gangs. JD or IH(I inside H) for example as these were cast in.
