 Topic: disks for my panter
Posted: 30 Apr 2011 at 10:36pm |

Any one know of a good source for new disks for my #78 planter row units. Agco is a little high priced on em. They are 13 inches, and the bearing has a 5/8 hole for the mounting bolt. I would like to find them as a complete assembly (the bearing already riveted to the disk). Thanks, Darrel

As stupid and backwoodsy as this sounds, we save the take-offs from our Great Plains No-Till drills. When they get worn down to about 13" or so, they need replaced on the drill, and they bolt right up to the AC Planter. If you have a friend or neighbor with a similar drill, you could get back in the field a lot cheaper.

Doesn't sound stupid or backwoodsy to me. Makes perfect sense.

maybe you can just re-adjust your planter depth and still use the bigger disks!

Or bolt them up in a lathe and turn em down to what you want. As long as you got some carbide tooling, it shouldn't take but a couple minutes a piece.

On my 3pt planter that had #77 units on it, I put 13 1/2 in. great plains disks on it, and they worked by bending the little pointed guard on the front of them. I tried to take them off of it (cause it went through a fire, and I don't use it anymore) and put them onto my #78 units, but they are about 1/8 to 1/4 in too big, and the pointed guard can't be bent on the #78's. Too bad I didn't use it for one more season before it got in the fire, then they would have been worn enough to work! Maybe C Tucker's idea of putting em in a lathe and turning them down would be an option, cause the discs and bearings are like new, and they didn't get hot enough in the fire to hurt anything. Darrel
