old oneway

[Jimmie D. Phelps]

I tried to post these pictures on Case forum , but they would not download. I'll try here. Would like to know year and model.?---- Will not upload here either ,,, maybe tomorrow..

 

[Jimmie D. Phelps]

It's a Case, but what model and about what year??

 

[donjr]

Other than old, I can't tell you much about it. But- that thing still has it's original clothes on, and looks to be in nice shape. You ought to get a cover over it- it's too pretty to be left out....

Here in western KY I never saw a one way plow.
Only saw flat bottoms and a few disc plows.

What was the one way used for?

Good looking old plow, someone took care of it.

 

[Case Nutty 1660]

I will post here for you too Jimmy, yours looks to be a "WPA" model with optional rubber tires, some oneway's were used here in areas with sandy-type soil, they are very good for breaking up soil and burying trash but yet left enough stubble on top to keep the soil from blowing, I have what CASE called a Discer Seeder as well as another Krause oneway

One ways, and one way seeders weren't quite a disc plow, and did more tilling than a disc. Primarily used in wheatland prairie type environs, plant the wheat, but didn't over-till the soil, to prevent wind erosion. The difference between a one-way, and a disc plow is that the disc plow has individual standards and bearings, where the one way has a common shaft and bearings on it. One ways also had closer spacing, between the discs.

 

[Case Nutty 1660]

I agree I have a CASE disc plow as well it has larger blades and only five of them set apart like moboard plow bottoms, my family has used oneways for the past 75 years or so

 

[Jimmie D. Phelps]

My Dad always used the oneway Plow ( Big blades 26" or more and 10 or 12" spacing when it got to dry for a moboard plow to go in the ground. Most were six to eight ft. In 1946 Dad bought a Krause K2 oneway disc. it had 8" spacing and was 12 ft. and he and later he and I used oneway Discs. Our practice was oneway 2 times Rod weed two times and if a big rain after harvest oneway again, rod and drill. Later K-20 Krause. I still use them today.

 

[Jimmie D. Phelps]

Same oneways behind the 1470 and the 9230. 1470-1978 9230 2010.

One ways, or as we called them , "tillers" were very popular here through the 40s and 50s. They were replaced by the one way disker which was a much more flexible machine having individual spring loaded gangs of disks. With a seed box attachment they became a real dual purpose machine. We seeded crops with them up til 1989. Still have the old Case 900 that my dad bought in 1960. Also a John Deere from the early fifties and the latest Massey model 360.

 

[Case Nutty 1660]

would you happen to have a ops manual for the Case discer/seeder? and if so would you consider selling it or a copy of it? I have been looking and no luck so far on finding one thanks
tom

 

[rusty6]

I have at least one manual for the 900 Case disker. If I find a second one I might be willing to let it go. Or else I could just scan and send you a copy. Was yours the one with the yellow seed box attachment? If so I think that is the newer version (1000) disker. Mine has the red box. I'll try to get a picture of it on here later today.
RE: the original poster's one way tiller, here is an ad I have from 1951 showing a similar one way disk being pulled by a DC4 tractor.

 

[Case Nutty 1660]

I was thinking mine was a "900" series, by this piece of lit mine would be a "915", mine has several independent spring loaded gangs of discs and two bars that go to the front wheel, I have not heard of a model "1000" do you know how I can tell the two apart? the one in this lit does not have a big CASE decal on the rear of the seed box unit like mine has and yes mine is two tone like the one in the scan, a friend of mine has the all Flambeau colored one as well and it does have a few different things about it than mine so maybe I do have a 1000?, I would be very glad to pay you for a manual or a copy as I would like it for getting this set/assemble right as I am missing one linkage and want to make sure I get it set right when I build a replacement part
thank you very much for your help as I am having no luck at all finding a ops or parts book for these units, last pic is another shot of my discer/seeder

(quoted from post at 14:21:27 01/25/14) I was thinking mine was a "900" series, by this piece of lit mine would be a "915", mine has several independent spring loaded gangs of discs and two bars that go to the front wheel, I have not heard of a model "1000" do you know how I can tell the two apart?

Well I located my manual and you are right, yours could be a 900 as I see they show the yellow (or light colored) seed box in the photo. 915 refers to the fact that it cuts 15 feet. Mine would be a 912 as it is a 12 foot. I am still pretty sure there was a newer 1000 model but I will have to check my brochures to prove it. I have a photo of my 12 footer hitched to the 730 Case back in 1974 somewhere.

 

[rusty6]

I found this ad in a 1967 Case Farm Digest magazine. It shows a 930 pulling a tandem hitch of two Case diskers. They refer to them as the 110 seedmasters. So I still have no proof that the 1000 existed. This one does look different to the 900. It appears to have a square frame to the back wheel, My 900 has round frame on that section.

 

[Case Nutty 1660]

Ok that may be the big thing here is a shot of the rear of mine I took today and mine does have a square rear axle, I know I have some more lit pics of these and am thinking it did say 110 somewhere I had forgot about that,,, good work!!, I will get a better pic of the back tomorrow thanks again

 

[rusty6]

Well I would say we have different machines here. Yours appears to have a wider , bigger capacity seed box. Also you have the rubber down spouts unless they have been updated. The 900, like mine, has those flexible metal down spouts. I will post this similar view of mine from back in 1974 (man, that is 40 years ago)! It is not super sharp as I scanned it from an old 110 slide.
These diskers were the "one pass seeding system" before anybody ever heard of the term. Although we always followed up with a double pass of the diamond harrows. That disked ground looked deceptively smooth but was not. Plus the seed needed a little packing. (Although I see yours has a packer hitch on it).
Let me know what view you need to see from the 900 manual and I will scan you a page.

 

[Case Nutty 1660]

I see yours is a bit different like you say in several places, what I was looking for in the book was how to set the hitch correctly from road transport to field position as well as proper hitch settings, as for the seed tubes these I would say always have been rubber, I have Case drills with both styles and the part where the tubes hook I am pretty sure are different from the steel ones to the rubber style, any help on hitch setting would be great if you can thank you again

Have you tried your disker in the field yet to see how it tracks? It is not too complicated to set them , mostly trial and error til all the wheels run the same direction. I guess you know you need to run a swinging drawbar on the tractor when pulling one of these. I'll try to get that scan done later today. Can't take a picture of my 900 as it half buried in snow at this point and at -30 below I am not inspired to dig it out.

 

[Case Nutty 1660]

no I have not tried it yet as I am missing one steering link, I have the specs for it to build and am hoping to use it this year if I can get the second box feeds loose (the PO left it with seed in it) I have not seen it in field mode yet and just wanted to make sure all is correct, I have used a JD oneway before many times as we had one for years so I know how they work but just like to have a book to make sure I have everything set correctly thanks again

Hey Jimmie-

Interesting thread!

Thanks for the cool old pics! I've never seen a cab quite like that!

Was that a farmerization?

Looks like you've got plenty of High Plains open spaces around you!

Here is a scan showing the 900 hitch and front wheel steering linkage. I am guessing it will be different from yours but still give you some idea of what you need to build. If you need a larger image I can send it to you off forum to your e mail.

 

[Case Nutty 1660]

Thank You! you are correct that one is different than mine but I saved it as it may come in handy anyway, if you happen to come across a 110 ops manual I would gladly buy it as it seems that is what I have thanks again I really do appreciate it

I was able today to order a parts book from CASE for a 110 unit, I will be able to tell for sure what I have that way and what parts I am short will post back to you on this

Good to hear that one is available. Hope it is right.
