[AJD] 6ft 3pth disc

[J.R. Hobbs]

The "KBL", "KBY", and other series of light or medium-duting John Deere Disk Harrows were built at the Plow Works in Moline, not at the Killefer Works in Los Angeles, which built extremely heavy-duty tillage tools such as offset disks, chisels, tool carriers, etc.

Rich's reply sounds right except I don't recognize the Keiffer so perhaps it was Killefer?
We still get requests for KK #'d parts from time to time as many are still in use.
