Wow. Great job. That disk brings back memories of untold thousands of acres that I covered with one like it. Can you still get gang bearings for it? Thats one of the reasons we got rid of ours was those expensive bearings.

 

[VA Rebel]

Thanks. I'm not sure about the bearings although I've found you can find pretty much any bearing on the internet with the numbers on each bearing part. I bought it from a hunt club (too big for them) and they had just redone everything but the paint. I have great memories of one of these when I was a kid, and I'm looking forward to fixing up a couple of my rougher no-till fields with my little ones in a few weeks.

A decade ago I got bearing for mine from JD, and also from Shoup. Shoup was much cheaper. I don't see them listed in their catalog any more, but Shoup often has things that aren't in the catalog....

I hear you can no longer get the cast bearing holders, if one busts on you.

Looks good, should be a good match for that 2555.

Looks great! That is a neat trick - painting a cab onto an open station tractor!
