Try again! Is this a CASE disk?

[Lamont]

Going to look at this one in the next day or two. Is this a CASE? If so, what era is it from? Where would I look for identifying tags, etc? Thanks.

it looks like a Case/Evens, I had a older one with crank lift only identifing marks was on a casting that said Evens, they made a offset for Case and would assume they also produced ones with just their name, the Case ones I have seen had a chain you hooked to your tractor so that when you turned to the right it would raise the disc when you straightened out it went back into the ground kinda a neat idea really cnt

if it is one the pics I seen of them were with later VAC series tractors so early to mid fiftys I would guess cnt

 

[Lamont]

VAC? Would a VAC pull one of those? I was thinking it had to be late '40s to early '50s at the oldest due to it being a wheel-type lift using a hydraulic cylinder. Thanks for your help.

YES--Just keep it raised and on hard level ground LOL

I can't see the cylinder mounting but years ago I saw one for sale and would have liked to have gotten it but it just did not work out. It had 12" tires. I would say it was built for the DC and as I understand Case did not put a hydrolick system on there tractors untill around 1954 so I would guess it to be after that. I would have liked to have had it to pull with my late John Deere A, I later got a drag type of the same size, different make, and it used the hydrolick cylinder for angling

I have one exactly as you explained that came with a D2 CAT citrus tractor. Paint matches the CAT. No tag or any other markings to identify it. Digs like a badger.

The only offset disc that I could find with transport wheels was the 300 seried built in the Stockton Works in the fifties. They ranged in width from 4'6" to 13'6". A 4'6" FOB Stockton w/22" blades was $246.40. A 13'6" w/24" blades was $787.20 base price. The lit shows the design well, but it doesn't look like your pic.

Hi there, My Father was a Case dealer in New Tripoli, Pa. from 1937-1954. We farmed 3 farms with mostly all Case equipment. We had a disk just like the one pictured. We pulled it with a 1949 DC. This was a very good disk. We used it mostly to disk our tomatoes under at the end of the season to put a cover crop of wheat down. I used to have to grease it in the morning before I went to school. Those large bearing caps took lots of grease. Ours was about an 8 to 9 foot width. I remember well to look for wine bottles when disking in the tomato fields that were left my the migrant workers. I had a pile of bottles by the time I was done disking. I forgot to ment ion, we raised 40 acres of tomatoes for Campbell Soup for many years. 1955- 1976 to be exact. Hope you enjoyed my story, Caseman44 or Harold

Here is a pic of a Case Disc.It looks similar to your pictures to me,but is not set up for hydraulics like yours.I think this is a Case-Evans Disc.I have a brochure for it around here somewhere.

Looks like you nailed it. If it has the hyd lift it is a XRH. They ranged from 4'6" width to 8'8". They were built in the Stockton Works in California. (see price sheet dated Nov.1 1955).I didn't have lit on that model and we never used offsets around here.
Since you found the wright model you also win a no expense paid trip to Bro's "CASE EXTRAVAGANZA". See you there.

Hi there again, the Case dish shown on the Case manual is the exact one that we had on the farm many years ago. I remember the 4 heavy angle irons used on the top of the disk, it had the smaller 12 inch tires like the one shown. I also remember that the disk was heavy and when you were transporting the disk on the ground roads you had to try not to hit a pot hole because you could blow the tire out on the disk if you hit the holes. That disk could sure chew up the tomato wines to put the cover crop down. We also used the disk and a cultipacker behind the disk when we planted the tomatoes with a four man planter, this was a slow process, we used a 1941 Case SC model in low gear and throttled back as far as it would go to plant the toamto plants. You could only plant about 3 acres a day when everything went well. The ingredients to plant was a plowed field, harrowed after that, and before planting I went ahead with the DC and disk with cultipacker just ahead of planting. I have to tell you this story also. We used to get are gas at the local gas station in 5 gallon tin gas cans, we would get like 8 cans filled with gas for the day and we carried a 5 gallon can filled with water for the radiator. Well one day I fueled up the DC and put 3 cans of gas in the thank and guess what, I grabbed the water can by mistake and dumped about 4 gallons of water in the fuel tank. Well latter on when my Father went to disk ahead, the tractor was sputtering at times and he emptied the gas bowl an discovered the water, well I caught proper hell for that, but it was an accident. My Father later said to me that it ran pretty good on the water in the tank after all, after draining the fuel bowl every now and than. The DC case was the tractor to get on and do some work, although it liked its fuel. Thanks for reading my story. Harold

Yes it is, i have one sitting about 200 yards from me haha, and yes, a vac would pull this, in transport mode haha, not running down the vac's! i love them, but you need atleast a D series to make the tractor enjoy the work haha, i use it behind our D or 400, extremely heavy, good disc, sometimes i dont have to even plow. I hooked it behind the only non-case tractor we have on the farm, a ferguson TO-30, it just sat there and spun! hahaha
