John Deere S, SA, SD Disk Harrow

[Brad Brecke]

I just purchase a 15' foot model S disk harrow to restore and use. I pulled one of the bearing boxes apart and the wood bears are in bad shape. I believe the part number is KW457B. Does anyone know if someone repropuces these or if there is a different aternitive to the wood bearings. Any info would be appreciated.

Have never done it for a disk, but I've made lots of wooden bearings for straw walkers on Gleaner combines.......out of whatever HARDwood I had on hand.
