5 foot John Deere pull type disc

[ejensen]

Including a picture of the above mentioned disc. Want to purchase a couple new cutters for the disc. Discs measure 17in. in diameter. Prubably were 18 inches according to a J.D. dealer i talked with today.
Anybody recognize this disc? Would like to know what cutters to buy. May have to take one cutter off to see size of shaft. Using it now and would like to order appropriate cutters.

18" would be perfect.My guess is 1" round shaftbbut could be square.Take a gang nut off and look at the shaft.Then put it back on and continue to use the disk till you get the parts...

Do you have some broken blades and that is the correct terminoligy, not cutters? 18" would be correct size but only in an 11 guage blade that is getting hard to find but will work better on that disk than the 9 guage or 7 gauage that is getting popular now. 11 is thinner and will cut better and what it would have had when new, yes they will breake easier than the thicker ones but you only have that light disk that will ride up and over a rock without dammage. When you start getting a problem is when you get to the rigid wheel disks that if you hit that same rockinstead of just that one gang that will lift you are trying to lift the complete unit and when you get to the 7 guage they are for the larger wing type disks that put even more pressure on the one blade. Question if John Deere could even get the correct blade, Shoups does not list it. Agri-Supply does. TSC and Rual King do not carry them, possibly could order in with a big delievery charge. And it probably has a square axle that could be a 7/8" but probably not, more likely a 1" square but could be a 1 1/8" square. There are one size holes avaible in some blades but most are a 2 size ans I would say yours if you buy the combination 1" and 1 1/8" blade that should fit. Very few disks ever used a round axle. Don't think Deere ever did and are you sure That is a Deere disk as it does not look like any I have ever seen.

My Oliver uses a 1 3/16 round shaft.

I'm not sure it is a J.D. disc. Person I bought it from 40 years ago told me it was a J.D. He didn't know for sure as he was the Son of the person who owned the farm. He was selling the farm for development of new homes. I really like the old disc. It follows the ground and does a good job of discing. Thank you for the information . I do appreciate learning about the disc. I obviously was using the work cutter incorrectly. I measured the end of the axle which is threaded. Measured 7/8 but might have been 1 inch.

I never sen a JD disk that resembled the one in photo.

Pictures a bit blurry,appears to be a McCormick Deering (IH) 9-A or the lighter 10-A. They used the IH flat center blades,with a 1" arbor bolt.

 

[Leroy]

That is what I thought, a McCormick but I think the flat center blade came out after those models were no longer made with the wheel disks the ones with the flat center. I know a regular blade will replace the flat center with no problems.

 

[Leroy]

Would not know on the Oliver as around here the Oliver disks are as scarse as hens teeth.

Ol'Gimpy,

Thanks for the informaiton. The disc was being pulled by a farmall A when I purchased it 40 years ago. It works fine being pulled by my Super C IHC or my TE 20 Ferguson.

That is a McCormick Deering that you have. I have a mate to it in the back yard.
Look around on it and you mite see a 'Logo of some kind that is cast into it . Mite be:IHC, or McC. A good little disk. clint

Clint,

Is there a model number for the disc? One person thought it was a McC 9-A or a 10-A.
Do you know the size of the axle? and also the square in the disc? I think it is an 18 inch disc. I measured the axle with my carpenter"s rule and I thought it was 7/8 but might be one indh.
