Looking for some help to identify this 10 ft disc. The only numbers I can find are stamped on the disc bearings 10-701. Anyone know the make and model?

Not the Kewanee that I had. Think mine was a 100 series if after all these years I rember correctly. Mine was in good condition but not a good disk.
 
Thanks, with your help I searched Kewanee and found one that was labeled a Model 170, 7 ft disc. It had the same hitch setup. Can you still get parts for them and who owns them now?
 
Kewanee was bought out by Allied equipment in the late 1980s. Then it was sold to AGCO with White/New Idea equipment in the 1990s. There would be few parts that you could get new for the disk through AGCO. Disk blades, and bearing can be found from Shoup.
 
Was your Kewanee disk the one with the channel iron frame all one piece all the way around the disk? Dad bought one brand new in '65, a 12 ft 4 inch cut, was designed for 16 inch plain smooth blades, but Dad had the dealer build it with 20 inch rippled blades. Too big for the disk, trash would accumulate up by the scrapers and frame and stop that section from turning, then push up a big pile of trash. Also the frt to back balance was off, as you raised the disk it would raise with a little weight on the hitch as normal, then the rear of the disk would drop as the center of balance moved forward with the wheels.
Was a nice disk behind our 450 Farmall with duals, could run in 4th gear, 6-1/2 mph in level stalk ground for a while, then engine would get too warm. Could run ANYWHERE in 3rd gear, 5 mph, old stalk ground, plowed ground, about 7 acres/hour till the gas ran out after 5-6 hours. Was actually a little small for the 4010-D, but we just ran a gear faster.

Like yours, our's looked like new at the auction, good paint, blades, no breaks or welds after 8 years use, it was better than the 14 ft Krause Dad bought used in '60 to put behind the Super M-TA, but only a little.
Neighbor bought a 15 ft Kewaunee disk with manual fold wings, only had 4 blades on the wings, same 20 inch ripple blades we had. He had that disk for a long time, '65 till 1980. Pulled it with his D-17, D-19, 4020, 4240. Pulled the 14 ft JD disk the BTO I worked for had, like I've heard many complain about them, left ridges and valleys in plowed ground.
 
Sounds like the one I had. Speed made the ridges and valleys and the biger the blade the worse it was. Think blades were aroud 17" but cannot remember. Just would not cut in hard soil. The Burch was same way. I wanted a disk I could adjust angle of gaungs, not fixed in a position that did not work for what I wanted. Believe was a 100 series. I still have book someware.
