Disc identification

My son bought this at a consignment auction. Really nice shape, but needs some bearings.

It has the 1 1/2" round axles.

JI Case disc...model escapes me. Have a 20' like it with dual wheels.

Model WB wheel harrow the 68 Buyer's Guide says....can get bearings at any bearing supply house.

Yeah, the decals gave that away. Good to have confirmation though.

We had several bigger ones of these back in the day. Dad would buy them, and have us run them until they were falling apart with half broken blades and most of the bearings out. Then buy another. At the time it was cheaper than repairing one. These were the only disc we ever had that would take the abuse of all of our rocks. I remember how awful getting the spacers off was when I tried to repair one. Hopefully this one isn't as bad.

Hi RGMartin:

What did you try in getting the spacers off?

 

[RGMartin]

As I recall the 2 methods that worked was to heat with a torch to turn the dirt inside to dust, or to use a pressure washer to liquify and blow the dirt out.
