:welcome:

Welcome to the forum!

I'm going to move this thread over to our vintage John Deere section. Someone over there may know.

Edit: Model KCA

Any part numbers stamped on any of the parts, such as the disk blades? That might be a place to start.

This tandem disk looks very much like the one I pulled on our farm in the middle 50's. Ten years earlier than what you are thinking.
Also looks to have had some parts modified which won't help with id. Such as the spools or frame parts. See a number on the turnbuckle on the tongue, but cannot read it, and likely not a disk part per se.

Poking around the jdparts site, am thinking yours is very similar to model KCA, because of the narrow width I believe.
You can google to confirm, but appears there were several years with same model no.

Good, and pls take the CAPS lock off.. easier to read. tks

Appears the KCA is the one with the wheel carrier. Here is a KBA link to a spool (that part between the disk blades) and how the spool is marked with identifying lettering.

Are you looking for parts? or just information? or looking for some manuals? Does appear to be the middle 50's vintage. And I am not into selling parts.. ;) I don't do eBay either.

Welcome to TBN
To accurately name model # one needs more information such as casting #s,disk spacing(frt & rear gangs) & gang bolt size but it's a model KBA or KBC built from early 50's to late 70's. See photo below
