The #25 uses grey iron "boxings" instead of roller bearings. I was able to get a couple castings through AGCO/MF just recently. They can still be used with a fair amount of wear. The #25 was in production for nearly 40 years. MANY sold. Massey Ferguson is good about parts support, especially on what was a hot selling item. The #25 is just about as good of a disc as a 3-point disc can be. They do an excellent job of leveling, along with the fact that they dig like a much heavier disc. I"m not sure of their weight, but it seems to be a fairly substancial chunk of iron. I"m very pleased with mine. There was a weight box available for these disc"s when new. It would be very easy to fab a new one. #25 owners manuals appear on ebay all the time. They show a good view of that weight box. Never needed it with mine though. The gang adjusting levers are nice. There is also a bolt you can remove that allows each gang to "float" independent of the frame. One thing to keep in mind with a #25, just as with ANY 3-point disc, DON"T try to turn with the disc in the dirt. You"ll twist the frame, possibly breaking it. In good usable condition, a #25 will sell in the $300 to $500 price range with an occasional bargain below that price, as well as the occasional HIGHER price. I paid $450 for a VERY nice 7"-10" model, then cut it down to 6"-8". (Removed one blade and one spool per gang)
