Probly not worth the effort/ cost, but, could that thing be welded and a spare ?

Allan in NE · Apr 10, 2015

If I wouldn't have been able to find a replacement, I was ready to give er a shot. :>)

Now she's good for the next 1000 acres! That late model tandem fold down JD 637 disc harrow I posted in response to one of your threads going back awhile now, I took a few shots when I was running it. The farmer I used to help owned it, his brother could not keep that fool thing out of the field perimeter trees. Brand new with heavy disc pans for rocky soils, the end pan on one rear gang stuck out further, the axle and hardware I had to straighten out and weld something on it. Think he needed to farm where you are, no trees LOL! It took me a little while to get used to something that large and the edges of fields, never came close to hitting anything. I still have a piece of 1/2" steel, part of the gang hanger, fractured, welded, then torn beyond the weld, I cannot even imagine how it happened, same operator LOL ! Broken pan, at some point to be expected, but as has been said, some can tear up an anvil ! LOL !

It works till you hit a rock then they shatter

Did you tighten the nut enough to make the discs "sing" when you hit they with a hammer With the disc raised up, of course. If the discs don't "sing" (or ring), the axle nut isn't tight enough. Recheck the tightness a few times the first day of use.

i have welded a few of them just to get by and kinda forgot about a couple of them and they lasted as long as the rest of them -- not for a beginner welder though -- happy discing

How much had the old disk worn down?
