Cannot see condition of wheels but you will probably be sorry you bought it. Unless the wheels are like brand new it is usueless. The teeth need a good curve at the end and That is called a spoon in that curve the side of each tooth should have a edge of about a quarter of an inch sticking out and that is what does the job of looseing the soil. That curvethe tip of it should be in about a 9:30-10:00 position on a lock face with the rest of the tooth at the 12:00 position. A lot don't realize they should have that curve. That spoon is what will pull the tooth into the ground. If it is wore down it will get to a straight spike and if you can pile enough weight on to get them to penetrate it still will not crack the crust. Because that spoon is what does the cracking. Problen is so bad that years ago when they were popular replacement spoons were avaible from a aftermarket company to weld on so they would work again. Don't know if those spoons are still made or not but if it is like 99% of the hoes out there it will need them before it is worth draging across the field. I had one of them and got rid of it because of that problem. Got an IHC that teeth were not worn much and it was as bad as the Deere with the teeth wore out. If the spoones would still be avaible and they might be because all the newer still JD hoes have that same problem would not be much of a job with your welding skills. They came with a paper pattern to use to set those spoons correctly and if the teeth are too worn out like just about all are they would be too short to weld the spoon in correct position. There is more of a curve at tooth end than you think.Got rid of both the IHC AND JD because was not worth draging over the crusted ground. An angle iron tooth will do way better and that is what MH, Ferguson And Ford-Dearborn that developed from the Roderic lean hoe had And what I used at end of my farming. I would say if you paid anything more than what you could get for it you got took. If you try to use it put 200#+ per section on it. And the pin that holds the end wheel on likes to come out and you lose a wheel and have to go hunting for it befor it ends up in a tractor tire. Am not famluar with DC speeds but I dought and I think they have 4 speeds third is fast enough to do the job and fourth will be too fast for field. 5th gear inthe 2 cylinder JD's is hoe speed, the H & M Farmall 4th not fast enough to do the job, that is where they need the 9 speed unit that I have never seen one of them. And a VAC would have power to pull one if it would go fast enough in field.
