<p>Several years ago I bought an 8' disk that I was told was a Ford.
I found both smooth and scalloped replacement discs at Tractor
Supply.</p>

arrive, and I can confirm that the disk is a Model R of
the two has the trip clutch. The Operator's Manual is
dated 6-51 and calls itself the 3rd edition. This date
suggests that the model was offered from some time prior
to this edition. Does anyone have any idea what year it
might have been introduced?</blockquote>

investigate colors more thoroughly yet, but the green
makes more sense. Durned if I can get a sense of what
might have been red and what might have been green,
however. Some of the parts simply don't show any obvious
traces. A little judicious wire brushing might help (as
well as crawling on my back to look at the underside).</blockquote>

parts book, but I understand more about how the disk is
supposed to work. It's time to start soaking the various
bolts in penetrant. A couple of the disks are broken, so
I need to look to see if/where I can source some. Not
planning a restoration so much as a rejuvenation. </blockquote>

the operator's Manual and Parts book for a Case Model N
disk of the same vintage, let me know. I don't need the
ones I bought.</blockquote>

All this for what will probably amount to only 1/2 acre of
