As some of you know, I have no disc harrows for anything bigger than my Springfield tractors. This year I am changing that. These parts wrre accumulated over the last few years in order to correct this, but not in the same way. I used to play with sleeve hitch tractors, but now most of my work GTs are Category 0 so that is what I needed. About 5 years ago I dug two matching Bolens disc harrows out of the local scrap yard. The frames were all welded on and the discs on one was bent somewhat, so I do not feel bad parting out for this, they would have been smashed before. So now to make them fit Cat 0 hitch. About 2 years ago at an auction I had picked up three Brinly Cat 0 implements: a rear blade cost me around $130 (which I wanted the most), a 12" plow sold for $80 (to me cause I know that is like free lol), and finally, a cultivator (which I would never use) sold for $40 to guess who (ya, I was not letting that get away). So now that I rambled on I will tell you that I did not realize until last month that Brinly used everything on the cultivator to make the disc harrow except the spring tines, so that gave me an idea lol.
This is where I left off last weekend. See if you can figure out what I have done. The angle iron I have for this project is 2"x2"x3/8" and any plate steel is 1/2" thick. These are materials I had laying around, including the top link for a Case Ingersoll, sorry lol. Only thing left to do to make it functional is to add two more heavy angle irons, bolted in from the other holes on the A frame and running back to the same bolts that hold the diagonal braces to the original cultivator angles. Oh, and maybe wing weight posts?
