Can't even begin, sorry, not enough detail in that pic.
But, er, that plow looks to be set-up completely wrong. Anyone else notice the front and rear gangs are tossing in the same direction?
Is that part of the reason you are looking for parts or ?

Good catch JoeinTX. It certainly looks like that to me also.

Thanks for the prompt replies. Intersted to hear about the gang set up. Actually, we use this disk after we tear up our food plots with the off set harrows. Like a finish harrow. Works fine for that but need to get it set up better for some smaller fields and woods stripping. More pics attached. The front let gang has come loose and the "part" that attaches the gang to the frame broke. I need to replace it and haen been able to find a source. I will take a pic of the broken part and post it later today.

If you can't find a plate anywhere on it that ID's it then you could try the axles themselves. At least in the past many implement makers would stamp something into the axles or hubs for identification purposes.
Back to the plow itself. I understand the idea of using it as a harrow but even harrowing discs are not set up to work this way. Did you intentionally configure it this way or was it this way when you acquired it? You're basically building a very shallow mound every time you drag it across a piece of ground.
Just curious. I haven't ever seen a disc set up like that before that wasn't an effup of some kind.......

Joe....(in TX)....
The disk was given to me by a client from Michigan. I only had to pay freight (Uship). I have never "set up" this implement and would like to hear some tips & advice on proper set up. We have a 10FT off set harrows that we pull behind a MF 1155 - so we really havent needed this one to work hard. But, I still want it set up correctly.

That is a nice looking disc, I, also think the front gangs should be reversed. If you can't find the OEM part, could you weld or fabricate around the broken hanger? That would let you keep on working the plots and give you more time to hunt for the needed part later on. Ken Sweet

That should be a easy fix. Tufline, Taylor Way, Bush Hog, Athens etc. all made discs similar to this one. Ken Sweet
