Hi all. Can anyone confirm the make and/or model of this disc? It might be the front section of a larger disc (not really certain). It has bearing housings with "WD28" stamped on them. The bearings are wooden. I need 4 bearing houses and bearings for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unless you are just over flowing with luck, you can make them faster than the time you spend looking for them. Or convert them to something parts are a around for. 

I have never made a wood bearing for a disc, so I could be wrong. But see what would be good hard wood, you can get your hands on. May have to glue pieces together to get a block and then find a whole saw as close as posable of the size you need. Then very careful use of a die grinder. That is if you really have your heart set on using this.


But that looks like really nice yard art.

I have used White Oak or Maple for bearings.  These woods work well for straw walker bearings and rotary hoe bearings.  I imagine they would work well for disc bearings also.

Reaching back in my memory banks from my sawmill days I recall that we used wooden bearings on the augers in the sawdust bins; the bearing supplier told us that wooden bearings were still the best in certain low-speed applications where abrasive stuff was being handled.

I did a google search for "wood auger bearings" and got literally dozens of hits; there are many suppliers such as McMaster-Carr, Motion Industries, All States Ag Parts, etc. Also numerous custom makers.

If you lack the necessary tools or skills to make wood bearings, contact a vocational teacher.  They often like little projects for their students.  I bet there are wood hobbyist in your area who would be happy to make them for you.
When I taught Vo-Ag, we made straw walker bearings for several farmer's combines.  Good project for the students. The students utilized their skills on drill press, mill, lathe and other tools.
