[AT] Identifying an antique set of disks

[Bill Brueck]

Usually one can find a bit of color when disassembling even very weathered
equipment.  Look carefully where a bolt or nut is removed, where parts are
assembled, etc.  You might solve the identity in the other order: by finding
the paint maybe that will steer you closer to the manufacturer.

Subject: [AT] Identifying an antique set of disks

My brother, Terry, is restoring a set of disks that were originally used on
the family farm. They started off as horse drawn (2 horse hitch) and were
converted to tractor drawn when Dad got the Cockshutt 30. They are so old
that there is no sign of the original paint, markings etc. The only part
number is 700664 stamped on the spindles. We haven't had any luck searching
this number on the net.

Does anyone have any ideas on how we could establish the original
manuafacturer in order to help determine what the paint scheme and markings
would have been? Any and all assistance appreciated.

Thanks,
