Steve C. Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 One of these just showed up on Des Moines c-list. https://desmoines.craigslist.org/grd/d/carroll-ih-500-plowing-disk/7292656577.html I wouldn't mind having something like this but for the asking price, think I'll wait. It would be quite a trip getting it to the farm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Looked at another 500 disc. Early version which was strike 1, frame welded on strike 2 and a $3500 price tag which was strike 3 and 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just weld a chain link or something like it to the clevis and tie it up with a wire. I always put a tongue jack on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Farms Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Long Farms Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
