I picked up a Snap Coupler HD 11 tooth coil shank cultivator at an auction recently. I had seen what looked like a large but rough old AC wheel disk, and passed on it without being able to inspect it beforehand and figured it was too big anyways. Well, the owner was wandering around during loadout and he was tickled pink the coil shank cultivator wasn't getting scrapped. He asked me if I had also bought the "really good disk" to which I replied that from the pictures it looked like it was too large for my tractors. He then said his uncle used to pull it with the WD sometimes and he sure hoped whoever bought it wasn't going to scrap it.
I was able to get in touch with the buyer (scrap cleanup guy) and turns out I actually knew him. He talked me into taking one of the nicest original 64 (I think it's a 64?) plows I've ever laid eyes on, and some other brand stuff I won't mention here, ha. I also pulled a wheat screen and a few parts off of a junk All-Crop 60.
The plow is probably a bit big for my WD45s but maybe it'll get put to work when I get a D19 fixed up enough? The disk is 8.5'. I have a #20 which I plan to use for fast shallow cultivation and have been keeping my eye out for a heavier AC disk for slightly deeper tillage, since my "big" disk (11.5' IH 470) is probably also bit much for a WD45. How are the 200-series disks as far as penetration?
