Towner FL93 Offset Disc Help?

[RedNeckGeek]

I just dragged home a Towner FL93 offset disc, or at least most of one. It came in two parts, and the previous owner wasn't sure how he had it together last time he used it. Having never used one of these before myself, I'm stumped on how the two pieces hook together.

Here are some photos:

I've tried to label the major parts, pins, and holes in hopes someone can come up with a "insert Rod A in Hole B" type of assembly instruction.

I also need to repair or replace two of the discs which have large sections broken out of them. And there are a few missing trash scrapers as well. Before I go to all that trouble, is this thing complete enough to be worth salvaging? So far I've only got fifty bux in it, so I don't mind spending that much or a bit more to get it going.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance...

I have an old 6.5 ft Towner offset that I use in my hayfield.

Mine is probably some version of the K-series. I don't have any specific info on the FL series.

I've never seen a Towner before, and I'm definitely no expert, but shouldn't the rear discs be facing the opposite direction from the front? The way it is now, it would always pull the dirt to one side. Seems a bit odd.
Look at most modern discs. The front and rear sets usually oppose each other.
