    Thoughts on this disk?

    Anyone have an idea what the thread size the zerk fittings are on these bearing? The disk is at our farm and not close by. I'm going to order a set and replace all of them.

    Thoughts on this disk?

    I appreciate you reaching out, unfortunately I don't know enough this disk to say if these would work or not. I still need to dive in and start taking it apart.

    Thoughts on this disk?

    I actually stole that picture for the post, that isn't my specific disk. I'll grab a picture next time I'm at the property. The gangs move nicely once unlocked, so at least that's something positive. The bearings aren't totally shot but more slop than I would like, might need to creative in...

    Thoughts on this disk?

    I hear ya, there are probably a dozen ways to replicate the function of the linkage and the pass of least resistance is likely to make my own. Thank!

    Thoughts on this disk?

    I realize I'm probably 20+ years late to this game of refurbishing this disk......anyone know if any parts are still available? I'm really happy with the disk and could have bought a newer one to accomplish leveling and garden work but I couldn't resist. I'm committed to making this...

    Thoughts on this disk?

    Are there any other bearing options or are we SOL if one goes? Damn shame if these things are scrapped for bearings.....

    Thoughts on this disk?

    Does anyone know if these models came with disk scraper/wiper device (not sure what they are called) to remove dirt clumps? Are they necessary or effective?

    Thoughts on this disk?

    Been looking for a disk for sometime and it's been a struggle to locate anything decent or not way overpriced. Came across this one and since I have zero knowledge what to look for or anything about these older models figured I would make a post. I have a newer NH 40hp diesel tractor and a...

    Can anyone identify this disc?

    Appreciate the reply, I haven't been to find much info on Long Manufacturing. Any thoughts on what it might be worth? Based on the size and condition I was thinking $800-900 but that is just a guess.

    Can anyone identify this disc?

    This is an 8ft disc but don't see any markings, possibly refurbished and identifying plates have been removed. Any thoughts?

    Agreed, that is another option I was looking it. Thanks!

    Changing input shaft on rotary cutter gearbox

    What makes sense at this point is a moot point, I have a new PTO shaft that I would like to use and sourcing another at todays prices is not likely a viable option. Agreed it would have made sense for the original owner to go down that path but that's not anything I could control at that time.

    Changing input shaft on rotary cutter gearbox

    Found myself a little project on FB Marketplace, just not sure how best to approach the fix. It's an older 5ft King Kutter brush hog, it has an RC-30 gearbox with a 1 3/8" round input shaft. Included with the cutter was a new PTO shaft and clutch assembly and has a 6 spline input on both ends...
