I am not sure what model Amco offset this disc is. I do know it was built in Yazoo City, Mississippi. I am thinking:confused3: it is a vintage F42 model Heavy Duty. It is 8 foot 6 inch wide with 24 discs that are 22 inches in diameter. The discs are on about a 9.5 inch spacing. It is suppose to have dual transport wheels, but only has 2 with tires and one axle assembly missing and one unused axle with no hub. So it needs one axle and two hubs with wheels. I gather this disc is around 4100 pounds. Best I can figure (in my online search) is that it is a F42 Heavy Duty disc. I need help in figuring out the exact model.:anyone:
I won this disc at Richie Brother's Auction in Houston last Wednesday. I bid more ($2500)than I wanted, but now am glad to have it.:cool2: Amco's webpage says a new F42 HD sales for right at $16,000. At least one existing wheel bearing needs replacing. Somebody painted it green, years ago over the yellow. It will be RED very soon.
The closest Amco dealer to me is 2 hours away in Giddings. I hope to stop by there next Friday or the next Friday. So any help will be appreciated. I am new at using an offset disc. I have only used 6 foot 3PH (spelled LITE WEIGHT) in the past. I need advice on how to adjust it on all the various gang settings it has and spring adjustment.:confused2:
It is in the barn now waiting to have the the hoses and cylinder purged today. Yesterday evening I got excited just staring at it's immense size and then got misty eyed thinking of Dad and how many hours he pulled a disc bigger than this one.
