My new disc is all ready for work

[jon f mn]

Spent a few days on this project I bought last fall. I put on all new blades on the front and replaced several bearings. These have re-packable bearings from the factory and if you a ant they come apart so you can repack and clean them. They are sealed bearings, the seals are just separate from the bearing. You can replace them with a common sealed bearings which are a bit different but work fine.

Was hoping to be done on time to try it today, but with rain coming i didnt want to work any ground. I hope to be planting next week.

I am always impressed by your ambition. Thur I put a new air bag in my truck. Fri I did some tiling. Now I'm recuperating! I am amazed at how spring comes to you before it does here. We've had over 7 inches of rain since the flooding on Mar 31. More damage to bean stubble that day than I've seen since hurricane Agnes June 1972.

Good work, looks like you have a couple of Swan's trucks in the photo.

Looks a lot better than when you come to get it . Glad to see it going to be used rather than scrapped.Jim

They belong to my son, he wants me to build beds on them for his lawn business

20 foot open and 14 foot with the wings folded? My uncle had a similar Case disk in the late 1960s with helper springs to fold the wings, no idea which model it was.

The center par t is about 12', 30 blades across at 7" each comes to 17.5' total. I never measured the span across the back.
