IH 500 Disc

I always loved pulling a heavy disc.  Had a TW JD disc that cut really well.  One of the few Deere discs that was any good, IMO.

Winter came yesterday. Added  furrow filler discs on ends of 500 disc gangs. Furrow fillers came off my granddads IH 370 disc he had sitting in a shed for many years. Not too easy to find used and pricey to put together new over the counter.  Had to completely disassemble gangs to put NOS clamp-on hubs on ends. Also added a receiver hitch to disc vs the factory  small hitch that was way high. Will allow me to pull trailers and other equipment in tandem and pull more level. Opened up some pasture back in Nov and will break open some more few miles down the road  as soon as it dries up.

Would like to find a 770 or 760 in my part of the world.  Very unusual to see offsets here.

Save your money and let the 760 set they were a follower of the IH 610. Dad purchased one of the first 610 offset disks called a pilot model. They had tags on it that said property of International Harvester and no charge for using this. The undercarriage was light and had lots of trouble with the block holders until we had them built heavier than the original ones. I sold that disk a few years up in the Rocky Ford Area. Dad purchased it in 1969 and it was on its 3rd set of front disks and 2nd set of back disks

  I own a 770 and it has been a good disk.  Probably going to need a little rebuilding before too long.

Added a set of rear mount hyd hook ups to 500 disc. They have cut offs and breakaways. Can take off 1 bolt and mount rear hyd set up on cultimulcher for tandem equipment.

Do those couplers have the shutoff valve built into them or are they separate?  What brand are the couplers or valves? I am looking for a shutoff valve like that.  Brian

Edit:   Never mind…I found them.  Looks like a Pioneer 9500 series coupler with included valves.  Thanks.   Brian

They are an on shelf item at farm supply stores. $200 or so. These came off a 656 hydro I parted out and kept for a reason and i found that reason last week. I like the cutoff and breakaway set up. I justified the costs since it can be used on multiple implements
