Long Farms Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Been wanting a 500 or 501 disc. Looked at a few 500s and only tracked down 1 501. Bought a decent 1 owner 500 14' was closest and best shape. 16' needed alot of work, farther away and thought id have too many issues getting through gates. Also saw a 770.....woof! Too much disc for me but what a disc. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Farms Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 IH even made a 780 with 32" blades. Those were field destroying monsters. 725# per foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acem Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Lots of old trucks down here but most are wore out by now. My 91 D250 Cummins has well over 500,000. She's looser than a French whore but still runs and drives good. Like the disks. Not many offset disks round here. Thx-Ace 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine had a piece of thin flat spring metal under the clevis hitch which kept the clevis sticking up level when the disc was unhooked. I don’t know if that was factory or a home made improvement from the previous owner but it sure was appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea mine did too but after a afew yrs that got weak or broke off then you were back to using the right height stick again to hold it in place and I forgot to mention the end wheel grain drills had about the same floppy style hitches to remember welding them on solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billonthefarm Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Would like to find a 770 or 760 in my part of the world. Very unusual to see offsets here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-C-IL Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The only place a swinging drawbar came in handy. You back up just beside the hitch, and swing the two in line and put the pin in. Then pull ahead and put the drawbar pin back in. The tractors with the sliding drawbar you could do the same thing with the slide.....but if you had a solid drawbar w/ bolted in blocks.....you were stuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 All because grease is soooo expensive and hard to put in......I did put 2 new 2 wire hyd hoses on it today. I was suprised the lift axle wasnt wore bad. The 2 inner axle pivot brackets and straps are pretty wore. Outter 2 still look decent. Need to pull them off, clean out grease tracks and install new zerts. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisNY Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Nice disk. Never see any 500's around here. Lots of 770 offsets though. The one in the picture shouldn't pull to hard, the blades are wore down to nothing. Always like the 770's, they were good disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redpower1256 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I need to replace (probably) those axle pivot/straps on my 470.....don't think it was ever greased before I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axial-flow Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 looks like it did a nice job you just need to run it some more and get the discs polished. Jim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerpost Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 We had a 470 disk and now a Krause with the floppy clevis hitch design. 470 had tab with hole in it welded under each side of clevis. Previous owner rigged it. Put pin through to hold up clevis. Krause has tab welded on backside of clevis and correct size piece of wood or pin wedged in holds up.
