Moving an old disk

Spent some time and got to know the disk.  It's painted an ugly green color -- can't imagine why any sensible farm implement manufacturer would paint something green !!  All but one of the grease zerks were intact and all those bearings accepted grease.  The missing zerk was on a bearing with a broken hub.  80% of the hub was there, so I lathered it up with grease and will repeat during the haul.  I set it up so the disk will run straight, I hope.  There is a lot of play in the adjustments, but I would think that given the chance the disks would rather roll straight than not since that would offer the least resistance.  Some of the blade are pitted, however, and I won't be surprised if I end up with some raggedy edge -- if not worse. I also tried out 5 - 6 miles per hour, which is not a speed I drive a lot.  My truck creeps in second gear at about 6 mph.  If you haven't driven 6 mph lately, try it.  It's really, really slow!  But I'm going to stay at or under that speed and see the sights. Going slow will also allow all of the neighbors along the road to enjoy the music, so really early in the morning is out.

Thanks for all the good advice and suggestions.  I haven't been on this forum for several years, but used it a lot in its old format.  Just as it was then, it is a fabulous source of information.

Shouldnt damage the road. We had a large farmer this spring forget to raise his salford vertical tillage tool when he pulled on the road. This is pulled by a 400+ hp articulated deere, prob 40+' wide. Wings up, so full load on main frame. Pulled it out of field, 1/2 mile down blacktop and into next field. Tore up some of the old blacktop where he turned out of the field, but the newer blacktop portion of the road it only gouged the surface, maybe 1/8-1/4".

I moved the disk today, pulling it behind my truck for about 10 miles.  The first 4 miles were gravel, then about two miles of hardtop, and then either 4 more miles of hardtop or about 5.5 miles of gravel.  I did the last 6 miles on the hardtop.  (It's not macadam - it has a hard reddish brown aggregate at the surface.)  The disk edges were bright when I got to my place, and sharp -- no chips or breaks.  I averaged around 6 mph. The only problem was one of the bearing housings cracked.  This was on the same gang as the one that was broken already, so that may been a contributing factor.  If I had it to do over, I would definitely move it on the hardtop rather than the gravel.  The gravel was bumpy and the disk bounced a lot, even at 4 - 5 mph.  The bearing housing was cracked when I checked everything before getting on the highway.  The hardtop, of course, was much smoother than the gravel.  The disk didn't bounce much and made much less noise.  When i came to patches of real blacktop or macadam, it was darn near quiet.  The disk left a visible mark on the hardtop but no groove.

Thanks for all the advice and good ideas.
