Here is a old set of Dearborn #2 pull type disk I was given.

It doesn't has an angle adjuster at this time and I havn't researched them as I am not ready to start restoreing them yet.

Couple of things though I wanted to point out. It has greese zerks on the boxens on the bottom so you need to look close. Boxens don't have bearings, many like this dearborn have oak bushings. One old cockshutts set I have has soft medal bushings that are almost impossiable to buy today.

It also has mud scrapers. You have to keep them adjusted or they are a problem .

Adjusted correctly.

A problem, and hasn't been adjust correctly for some time it appears. Any nick in the blade and the scrapers hangs up and can stop the blades from turning. Another thig is the blade can keep turning and cut a groove in the scraper.

Hope this helps.

The pony pulls these disk wide open sunk up to the blades axels with out much trouble. I have a couple of suitcase weights (65 pounds each) hung on the back sections as there is a part missing that holds the rear gangs properly and allows the out side to raise off the ground.
