Broken Axle Field Disk Repair

Hi there,

I need to service and repair an older heavy duty disk to put in a vegetable garden, and I need some guidance since I have a limited budget for the repair. I知 not sure the brand of the disk but it does say HWP 56 A on one of the axles. The disc has 18 disc痴 on four axles; one axle is broken and two spin like a tight grease spin and the fourth is in very good condition, spins freely and is the only axle with a full set of disks. Three of the four axles need disc痴 and the current disc痴 have a hex hole, but I知 not sure a hex hole is what the axle requires after dismantling.

To me it looks like the disk might take round hole痴 disc痴, do I have to buy Hex disc痴?

Should I have the broken axle repaired? Two of the axle痴 (including the broken axle in the photos) have a oil lube tunnel to the axle and through the center of it.

How do I get the broken axle out of the sleeve? Can I pound it out on a vice with a sledge hammer? Do I need a special tool to pull out the axle? Is it somehow locked in?

What would be the process to service the axle痴 to good working condition? Ie pull all the axle rods out and clean them up and lube them with [grease]? How do I lube these and since it hasn稚 been used in like 20 years, are there extra maintenance things I should do?

I have some photos up in my photobucket. Guidance appreciated!
