What Disc Harrow is this?

Grumpydaniel · Nov 29, 2022

I finally realized I was asking all the wrong people, and I should be coming to my friends here. so my problem is this: I
recently bought a 7' disc harrow so we can expand our gardening. Anyway, I see nothing that indicates who made it or anything
else about it. Can anyone ID this for me?

What do you want to know about it? The disc blades are pretty generic for fitting the bearings would be the biggest issue if they are not a ball bearing and that could probably be a conversion if need be. Shafts and nuts will be available after market also. So other than just knowing for conversation model and make are not all that important.

Its an Oliver disk thats been painted red. Dont know the model.

Oliver power angle PA disk.

Meriam-Webster
Harrow noun: ''A cultivating tool with spikes, teeth, or discs and used primarily for breaking up and smoothing soil''.

Yeah, I found this logo on all the bearing castings.

All my life growing up on my Dad's farm, we called this simply a disc. Anyway, I found this on the bearing castings.

Oliver disks from the 40's were red. That Is what the one dad had was. And this was back in the 40's when he had it for use behing his 1944 Ford 2N he bought new in May of 44 and that I still have the tractor. Als saw different Oliver plows that were red. And not repainted.

Yup. the old Oliver plows were red with green wheels. I have one with the rooster comb and 12 inch cut.

Well, that explains a lot! Thanks!

Grumpydaniel · Dec 3, 2022

My friend, you have ID'd the darn thing for me. That is definitely what it is. Now to find a manual or two -- esp. a parts manual. Thanks very much for your help.

I know your intentions may be to never travel anywhere and disk, BUT, every disk everyone around us pulled was a wheeled disk, and anything wider than 13 ft had wings. The BTO's pulled winged 21 ft disks.
A little 9 or 10 ft IH #37 or #350 wheel disk sells for around $400-$500 and won't need lots of new parts.

Grumpydaniel · Dec 3, 2022

Yeah, just using it here.

i had a old oliver disk some what like yours years ago. it had i think hard maple wood bearings under the caps. if the bearings aren't COMPLETELY gone, a electric grease gun and a box of cartages and it will last along time disking gardens. looks to have good blades. still haves red paint on it. that thing had a GOOD home most of its life!!

I think it depended on the weight of an Oliver tillage tool. Under a certain weight, they were red, over that weight they were green. As has been stated, a good number of the two bottom Oliver plows were red, three bottoms were green. That's not a hard and fast rule because it wasn't that way until a certain year and I don't remember what year it was.
