I bought a JD offset Killifer disk at an auction and am trying to discern the model number. On the ID plate it says model 7H (could be 711) -03. Plate says it is from the John deere Killifer company in Los Angeles California. I wasn't aware JD ever made stuff in Los Angeles. Is hydraulic lift with 3 wheels. There are 2 on the right side, looking toward the disk from the tongue, and one on the right. Looks like it was made that way not missing a wheel. Wheels are about 18 inches tall, like a trailer wheel with tire. Anyone know a model number? Casting number on one of the spools is Q31553K. Thanks for any help. Can't seem to find it in my older JD parts book manuel.

In a 1958 book I show the JOHN DEERE-KILLEFER offset disc,s in the following models 1200 series offset 5 1/4' to 10 1/2', 1200 series flexible 13 1/2' to 21' (picured behind what looks like a D-6 CAT. NO WHEELS ON THE 1200 SERIES A 6' 3pt 416 series (showen on a J.D. 620). A "H" series 5' to 7' (showen behind a J.D.620 Orchard tractor). A "WH" series 5 1/4' to 7 1/2'(showen behind a J.D. 720) and a "HD" 7 1/2' to 10 1/2' (showen behind a J.D. 820).

The next book I have on offset disc's is from 1969 and it is just J.D. no more KILLEFER

I wonder if yours is a 7' H series. The picture does not show the wheels that good

Looking closer at the picture of the 7 foot "H" series, it showes 3 heavy beams holding the front gang to the rear gang with the hyd cyl between the left and the center beam looking from behind the disc looking towards the tractor. What is interesting is that is called a 7 foot with but it is wider then the J.D. 620 Orchard tractor

Thanks for the help Mike, think it is probably a model H. Checked with JD dealer today and looked at a model HD book, similar but think that one is heavier. Think probably the 7 is 7 foot but at least the 7 foot HD says is is 7'6". Anyway they also use an 01, 02, and 03 after. Not sure what that means. Hope to get a parts book as my dealer will be of no help there. Know probably the only parts available will be bearings and those probably through a bearing place. It looks to be a good disk with fairly large discs and some weight to it. The wheels are rather strange but I saw the same ones on what I think was a HD offset at the same auctiion. I also never heard that deere had a plant in Los Angeles.

The text under the pictures state it's for slicing, turning, and mixing soils with trash, mulching and working in thick cover crops in fields, orchards or groves. That is from J.D. MODERN FARMING WITH JOHN DEERE QUALITY FARM EQUIPMENT 1958 EDITION.

JOHN DEERE TRACTORS AND EQUIPMENT by DON MacMILLIAN just states that the heavy duty disc's were made in the KILLEFER WORKS. That's it nothing more. Except that later in the book it states that KILLEFER made a landleveler. I would guess that it was like the John Deere-VanBrunt and other companies partnered with then were bought out and dropped the dual name and then just had the John Deere name on it.
