Since you are talking about it they are called Disk-Harrows a lot on this foruum. We always just said Disk an I think I have at least 3 single Disk and 2 double ones. I know there is big difference between the drag Disk and those with wheels but I never heard what name distinction was?? Yours look kind of like IHC but the disk blades seem kind of large Diameter. Myself I would never refer to a Disk being anything like a Harrow either Drag Harrow or Spike Tooth Harrow. Cleddy

The names vary by areas it seems. Definition in most dictionaries for Harrow, when used as a noun, is a cultivating tool set with spikes, teeth, or disks and used primarily for breaking up and smoothing the soil. Disk, Spike, Spring tooth, etc. are all types of Harrows.

Drag, 3-point hitch, or transport (what I call the ones with their own wheels that can be lowered to lift the harrow for travel) would be further definitions.

The use of pipe on the frame is rather unique which I would think would make it easier to identify but when I do an image search for any of the brands I can recollect nothing that looks like that turns up.

I don't think I ever seen one with the pipes/bars over the top. I do see the mud scrapers on the wrong side of the disk blades on the back right looking at the picture.

I think he's using drag disc as opposed to transport disc since it doesn't have transport wheels.

I'm from Tennessee I've always heard it's a disk.
Drag disk is what is pictured
3 point hitch
A pickup disk usually has wheels


I guess it just depends on what area you are in

Can you find any symbols or part numbers? That can help. Sometimes they are molded right into castings where the shafts rotate in. JD and IHC are often seen in casting parts if those brands apply.

 

[Graveyard1984]

This is the only number I can find
595 but it on the bearing housing

Back in the 1950's dad had a Case disk with the overhead braces exactly like those.

Drag means just a hitch pin to drawbar to pull it for non mounted type of implements or wheel carried implements. Just about all implements before 1950 were drag type and all horse pulled were drag type.
