My grandpa passed away a few months ago and I inherited a 1941 allis b and a snowplow, a bunch of cultivators, a disc, and 3 drags linked side by side which I'm pretty sure someone made the thing that links them together. I've been running the tractor since i was about 9... I'm 17 now. I've used the disc and drags a lot but have never really looked into the model or year or anything until a few months ago, I haven't really been able to find anything about it on the internet. the disc is articulated, probably about 4 feet wide or so. there is a a serial number or something on it : "DH49F" it's a drag type disc and looks kind of like the disc in the video, but it's different https://youtu.be/WHTwee8PNKA" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/WHTwee8PNKA ?

feature=shared If anyone can help identify that would be appreciated

Welcome to the world of everything Allis Chalmers. As well as old farts rusting away.( Wink

at least my joints feel rusty most days) Hopefully up for some mental stimulation that gets you some answers.

Most of the major farm equipment companies sold a disc, many different brands. We need pictures of YOUR DISC. Other wise we would just be making a list of manufactures.

The hitch, adjusting mechanism, bearings, and frame will all give clues as to which model you have. Are the bearing wood blocks, or a castings? Any numbers on the casting might help.

I think that should help. Not anything I am familiar with. The one thing I cannot see for sure is the bearings. But guessing no wooden block bearings.

I hope others at least give some guesses as to what brand, they think it could be.

It has some characteristics similar to this Dunham:

Google shows another image from yesterdays tractors (search for dunham disc) that has a similar curved riser, but you can't access the image link directly from yesterday's tractors website due to 3rd party link restrictions (so you can only see a tiny thumbnail).

Here's another very similar disc:

I searched AGCO and did find a few Dunham-Lehr parts, but only for loaders. I found 1 Farmhand disc (#34) that appears to have a tiny number of similar parts such as bearings and spindles. The only way to find it seems to be to go to the parts book section and search for either dunham or disc. Searching for Farmhand returns nothing, but searching for disc returns one Farmhand disc (Farmhand merged with Dunham), which MIGHT be a rebadged Dunham.
