Something doesnt look right

[Brown David]

Edited to remove non working link.

Don't know what went wrong.

We were hoping you would pop in and help

Yes, you can create links with this new forum.
Click orange circle
Paste url (website address) in blue circle
Type link name in green circle
Hit Insert button in red circle
Helps if you make the link name BOLD after doing the insert stuff above (but don't have to) by highlighting the link name then clicking the big B in upper left of text box.
Done
And here is the link for the website you posted: Disc Manual

I just tried posting that link and it wouldn't come up as a live link.

When I click your link I get this.

I fixed it, Paul's link is to the competion so this YT site changes the host name to "external-link.com"
The link in my post now will get you to JDParts.

We must have lost a lot of experienced members if it’s this difficult getting info on a John Deere series J, probably JB disk.

Get a manual for it if you have trouble fine tuning the setup from here.

$20.

(If we can do links in this format…..)

Yes you can do links here, but not links to those YT and Parts ASAP see as competitors to their business, as yours is.

I didn't have a problem opening the link you posted, but I want to clarify where your link goes. JD has at least three different websites where parts and manuals are involved.

Your link goes to the JD Ag & Turf Bookstore where you can download the free Operator's Manuals and purchase other manuals for the equipment found there. Here is the link again.

JD Ag & Turf Bookstore

The Construction and Forestry equipment Bookstore is a separate site (and can be a pain to search compared to the Ag site). You can get free Operator's Manual downloads there and purchase other manuals, for that type of equipment. Here is a link to that site.

JD Construction and Forestry Bookstore

jdparts is a third website where one can use the online parts catalogs and covers all the JD equipment. No parts, books, or manuals can be purchased there. You can set up an account with your dealer (for the type equipment) and use their ecommerce system ordering. Here is a link to that site.

Now next time before you take anything apart snap a picture of it with your phone. I know it seems like the whimpy way out but I do it all the time. People are impressed with how good of mechanic I appear to be.

Oh trust me I will never forget to take that picture!!! lol

There is something clearly wrong with the rear disc setup, but for the life of me I don't know what it is. Any help would be appreciated. View attachment 5076

There is a what they call a John Deere orchard disc listed on marketplace in Virginia that has pictures and it looks like yours with the rear gangs connecte4d to the front ones like the folks are telling you. You might want to check market place out and see them,

Any chance you have a link?

I found one similar to yours but does not look the same to me as to how the rear gang angling bars attach to the front gang frames.

Orchard Harrow in VA.

Did you go to the JD bookstore and download a FREE copy of the JD Manual as suggested? It has info on where the rear angling bars belong and adjusting them. The publication number is OMW44. As well as searching using JB as the model number, you can search by the publication number just change the search from Model # to Part # / Keyword and enter the publication number in the search box. It should come up at the top of the list. That site doesn't let one make a link direct to the manuals, you have to do the search.

Yup just different enough to be different

Yup just different enough to be different

But close enough to see how it needs to be configured to work properly.

Thank you!

Have you tried putting weight on it.

 

[RetiredMarine]

I have not. It worked fine before I broke it. I think it's set up correctly now, with the help of this forum. Now I need some dry weather to try it out.

I'm sorry I don't understand

Rear gangs should pull the dirt in.
