Hello All,
I was hoping you may be able to help. I just purchased a disc from a neighbor of mine and it is really hard for me to understand how it works.
It is a towner disc that hooks up to a 3 point, it has 2 rows of discs that can be seperated, but like nothing else I have ever seen, my neighbor says he does not know how to hook it up properly ether. I can figure out the lift arms, but the top link looks really weird, it seems like there is a place to mount the top link inside of the top where the top link goes.??? It seems like I could hook up the top link to the inside top link and it would stretch out the disc further (this is really hard to explain)
Also, on the top of this thing, right behind the drivers seat when the tractor is hooked up, is a crank adjustment that goes down to the rear of the disc, (it actually is on the disc, but when hooked up to the tractor the crank is right behind the operator seat)it seems like it adjusts the front to the rear discs??? Making them both go into the ground evenly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Rick P.S. Does anyone know the model of this disc?

I had a Towner disc given to me once but I could never figure out how to hook it up so I passed. Later I found out there is a bracket that is supposed to be mounted under the tractor seat. That's the part I was missing. I don't know if yours is the same or not.

Sounds like one of the ones made for Ferguson. There are some photos in the Ferguson implement books. Also you can get photocopies of the manual from the 8n,etc. website archives. The second hole on the top of the 3pt setup is for a spring which ws to provide extra pressure on the hydraulic lift mechanism. I think because the units were so heavy (800+ pounds) and pulled hard. The sets of disks can be offset each as much as about 2 feet, so that the rear unit could have a total offset (if the front were extended to the maximum) of about 4 feet. The crank adjustment is to even things up when the disks are offset, so that both gangs cut to the same depth.

Does it have scrapers for the disk blades? What condition was it and what did you pay. Mine is a 2120, no scrapers, and rust covered but basically intact, and it cost me $375.

A crank on a disk is usually a leveling crank, adjusted when the disk is in the ground, so the front and rear gangs cut at an even depth. On a mounted plow, the crank is what sets the depth. As far as the top link situation, a picture might help.
