Do you have a general idea of when it was built? The paint scheme would match the tractors of that era. I would agree the main frame would more than likely be Prairie Gold but the wheels and trim could have been red, bronze, black or white and pobably combinations of more than one. Check Ebay for advertisements that show a disk similar to yours

Most MM tillage implements were red with yellow wheels. Later on in the late 60's early 70's they went to white wheels. Interestingly the hay equipment was yellow. Do you know the model?

I bet some MM collector would love to take that off your hands for far more than $100.

I bought one in 1967, had red frame, cream wheels, and prairie gold lettering. Not sure if yours is about the same viintage.

I would think at 20', it would be too new to be prairie gold.

My 12' is gold frame and hitch (not much left) and I would really have to use my imagination on the wheels.

My uncle had a 15' with red frame and yellow wheels. It was a pretty good disk I think.

I looked at the picture, I would defiantly say red with yellow decals
and yellow or white wheels. I would go with yellow wheels as that disc
does not look like an Oliver disk painted in MM colors. The later MM
tillage was made by Oliver and they had the white wheels.

I think you have a "K" series disk. There are a few different ones. There is a bunch of manuals on ebay. Here are some pics.
