Made this disk few years ago. This one is the 2nd of two that were built. It was made for a gentlemen in North Carolina.

Very cute:thumbsup:...I've ran big ones like that....:smile:KennyV

Love the setup... you take nice care of your equipment! :thumbsup:

Beautiful picture...I wish my 318 looked that good. What model JD is the one with the disk?

Thanks guys.
JDgreen,
1974 140 is pulling the disk in the picture.

Leisure67, very nice! russ

Very nice job. I'm a country gentleman myself, and while I can fix my own mowers and quads, that would be a little out of my league.

Very nice work:licking:. I'd like to see a close up of the hydraulics if you have one. Looks like it can be raised and lowered from the seat, but I can't tell.

Robert,
The 140 pulling the disk does have a rear hydraulics installed on it (it was an option from JD) & does lift from the seat by one of the three hydraulic levers to the left of the steering wheel in the first picture I posted. Here is a picture of the lift cylinder & linkage on the disk. The linkage is required to let the disk float when lowered & to level it as it is lifted.

that thing is AWESOME................I was thinking about one just like that the other night and wondered if there was one available or if one had ever been built....................you just answered my question........
:thumbsup:

We use to have those offset disc machines 66 Feet wide in Australia.......a 'Grizzly'..........awesome machine...........but I like the John -Deere Green............just love it!:thumbsup::tongue::licking:

Great looking disk. Now you have just added another thing to my constantly growing list of things to do!

I had started on a 3' yard box for the old Sears, but found one for a simplicity and just had to covert it from the single hitch mount to the 3 point. It works good but doesn't look that good.

I have one old craftsman thee point disk category 0. If I could find another one locally then I would just have to make the frame, but would have to be a hand crank. No hydraulics.

Very cool.

Man you really went all out.....what workmanship. It appears to be adjustable for tilt (cut) just like it's daddy. Only needs one thing to make it really realistic??? Some dirt and dust! :biggrin:

That is a piece to be proud of!:thumbsup:

Not only is that a 140, but it's the H3....and in pristine condition to boot! I looked at what was said to be a '71 or '72 model H3 in very rough shape. I really wanted it as I think it's the garden tractor to have, but he was wanting way too much for it.

Very nice work on the disk. Where did you get the individual disks and the rotating assembly they are bolted to?

Sweet setup:thumbsup: got to love seeing a farm setup in minature form.

that thing looks great how long did it take you to build that i want to build one like that for my cub cadet:thumbsup:
