Jim: I was actually surprised the 140 handled that disk as well as it did, both pulling and lifting. When I bought the disk, I had every intention of cutting the arbor bolts and taking one disk off each gang. I started to dismantle it one day, needed it moved so put 1 point fast hitch tool bar under front of disk and a chain from top link to hitch pull bail. I decided if I had proper lower link thus moving disk closer to tractor, I could lift that disk. I bought MF 35 lower links and a new top link, had a fabricator build the mounts. At about 1/2 throttle I pushed the hydraulic lever and up went disk.

I have advertized the MF disk for sale, however when I pulled that disk out of a hedge row, much to my surprise it had perfect bearings and excellent heavy gauge blades. I might not be as lucky next time, thus I'm not giving those disk bearings and blades away. When spring weather comes, I will cut the disk down to 20 blade. Just have to shorten and rethread each arbor.

I had hoped on getting in more plowing time, but it seems to rain an 1" per day around here, and now it's starting to get too cold for this old carcass. Got to get one of these southern offset guys with some land to invite me down south for the winter. AZ would seem quite nice to me.
