I need to move an 8' trailing disc, but it has no wheels. Is there a wheel mount that slides underneath? How did fellas move these around back in the day?

If you don't have far to go, you don't even need to load it on something. Just make sure the gangs are straight so the discs just roll and not cut and go right down the road with it. We always did that with ours and never had any trouble. Lots quicker than the load/unload process!

Around here guys had dolly wheels to move there disc. I've never seen or try to use them but the way it looked is that you tipped the disc on its back then slide these dollies under the gang but on the front side of the rear frame/angle iron then hooked a chain/pulled the hitch back down on the ground and as you did this the gang pivoted up on the dollies and away you went. The dolly consisted of a wheel 8-12 in diameter that had straps weld to the axle/spindle then up from that an angle iron welded to support the gang then up from that a bracket/hook that held it to the rear frame of the disc. 0----L____ 7 This is as crude as I could get, imagine the o as the wheel, the L the angle that was under the gang/spindle between blades, and the 7 as the angle/hook that went over the rear frame. I've seen many of these at sales but never needed them. email if I can loose you anymore, chris

Aaron,
My dad used to use the 3 point boom pole on the tractor to lift the whole assembly onto a flat bed wagon to transport his trailing disc. It worked great and was cheap! Give it a try rather than spending a bunch of money building something that might be complicated. Good Luck and God Bless, Tommy

The Lincoln Electric Company's book "Arc Welded Projects" has plans for a cable lift on wheels that is similar to F14s' rake idea. A weldors' supply store should have a copy or should be able to order it for you.

Minneapolis Moline offered transport wheels as an option with their disks. The wheels were mounted on a device that attatched to the gangs and the frame. I could send you a picture out of a manual if you were interested in building something similar for your disk.

One of the things on my "To Do" list is to build a transporter for my old disk.

I have the frame, axle and tires to an old side delivery hayrake that I parted out. The plan is to add a couple of pulleys and a hand winch, straddle the disk, hook some cables to strategic spots on the disk frame, winch it up and boogey down the road.

I'll let ya know how it works out...

Dad leaned 3 planks on the side of the hayrack on a sidehill, pulled it up the side with a cable & tractor. This requires some attention to safety & the fact that the disk might want to continue rolling off the other side - think it all out first.

I've heard of devices like you say, but seems like they were mostly welded up out of stuff laying in the grove, a rear axle, a top frame with chains hanging down, & a front hitch?

Many are not that difficult to take apart with 8-12 bolts, and 2 people can throw the parts in a pickup if this is a 1-time deal.
