BrodyNC Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 This came up on Facebook from the local tractor club my friend and I started. Owner was asking what it is and what it is worth together. I’m posting just out of curiosity. It appears you lift the disc manually and once at the field drop it and hook just the disc back to the tractor. It says farmall, is it something they really made or is it farmer built? I’ve pondered on how to manually lift a pull disc but never imagined something like that. Thoughts? Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bud guy Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I one hand it says Farmall but on the other hand it looks homemade looking at the back axle which looks like came off a vehicle. Just going off of google, it looks like a Ford axle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray54 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Friend and I built similar style carriers mainly for big offset discs. I talked of this a month or so back on the subject of old non wheel lift discs. I would say farmer built all the way. Maybe the IH decal was already on the tubing, or some friend thought it was a good laugh to add. A 18 foot disc is as big as we generally use, but have had a IH model 32 that was a 24 foot wide model on it once. We back them under turned 90 degrees to this one. The hitch was made to tip back on all the brands of bigger offset discs I have been around. I have not figured how they lift the disc in the picture. We have 2 chain hoists on ours, one on a carriage that rolls on top of the tube. The other near the back. As we have learned to load it to the back as we have a lower bar across we tie to to keep things from swinging side to side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotsaIHCs Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Yup...home built with most likely early Ford rear axle housing. The Farmall logo is a nice touch! But if memory serves, the Farmall name was only used on tractors. I don't think I've ever seen the Farmall name on implements? Just noticed the wheels definitely '37-ish Ford. Wide 5 wheels were used 37 through 39. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12_Guy Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The axle looks Ford model T?? The lifting mechanism seems to be an over-center lever type on the top of the frame. The triangle shape and the attached lever. The only thing IHC is the decal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leaver would need to be much longer to pick up the heavy discs we use here. Hopefully I we remember pictures soon, as mud is drying. But when dry I have some hay to get planted.
