[AT] country disc well grounded

[charlie hill]

Kevin unless you have some minature cows and those discs are only about 7" 
diameter I've got a pretty good idea about it's size.  grins.
I might be off a little bit. Maybe a C Allis and a Farmall B would pull it 
ok.  Like I said before a Cub will barely drag it out of the way.  It does 
look like a nice little disc and in pretty good shape.
The big thing with old disc harrows these days is finding the correct 
bearings for them.

I've got one old 3pt hitch disc that my Daddy bought new in 1959.  The last 
time we rebuilt the bearings, about 1985 or so, we had to get a local 
foundary to cast the bearings for us.  That place is not out of business. 
The disc is a bit small for my needs now but the frame is heavy duty and in 
good shape.  I've been thinking about going to Agri-Supply and buying new 
axles, bearings and hangers meant for a modern disc and adapting them to 
this frame.  In the process I could modify the frame just a bit and use 
longer axles with more blades.  Has anyone ever tried to do this?
