He sure did, Heck, that disc would part out over time for over $1000. Most of those cast spacers and box bearings will also work on the later model RW John Deere disc. Ken Sweet

Nice looking disc. $450 is reasonable for that size disc. Looks good behind your L4400 (my neighbor has the same tractor--also nice).

I pull a 13-ft Minneapolis Moline KA1300 disc cut down to 10-ft (by removing several outer pans) with my Mahindra 5525. Works fine in dry soil. Haven't tried it in damp, soft soil. With that heavy frame, I don't need to add weight to get it to dig good. Disc was made for MM by Krause. Paid $600 including delivery.

front from disk to disk is 7' 9" angle is 8' 4", rear disk to disk 8' 9" angle is 9' 2" so i guess the disk is say 8' 6" ? wheels are 7' 10" wide. this was my first disking i ever did, pulled with an L4400 4x4 45hp, the plots were sprayed 3 weeks b4 and hasnt been plowed or disked in over 20+ years, I was impressed with the end result

I have a JD KBA that looks like that. Parts are still available at the JD dealer here. You may need to repack the wheel bearings with grease, mine were so dry the grease didn't even stick to my hands when I took the hubcaps off, no zerks on the wheel hubs, and I have to occasionally tighten a few bolts. Not a good leveling disk, but it does great as a finishing disk.

sorry I am a new jack, what do you mean by leveling disk?
I disked and cross disked, picked the rocks, dragged chain link fence and cultipacked seeded packed again came out like this, first plot. oh yea top left is a half acre of buck wheat planted without disk, very tough
