I do know that one of the JD 10' discs was new and not JDs lightweight disc, it was their heavyweight flexable disc from 1953, whatever model that was. New 1953 JD 60, 3x14" plow and 10' disc. The later (after I was grown and gone from home) 460 and 11 1/2' Kewanee were both used and the disc diameters may have been worn, but were rolled and sharp. Maybe the NE Iowa ground works easier than where you live... I know it was not clay on top.
I used to take a weeks vacation in the summer to help a friend here in Kansas. He bought a new 25' Krause flex-wing with the narrow spacing and I pulled it with a 155 Hp JD 4640.... how does that add up in your part of the world? Would you have been pulling an 18' or 20' instead and maybe a 6x16" plow instead of that 8x16" plow he pulled (I never personally pulled that one but used his 970 Case and 5x16")?

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
