Here is one version of the history:

P.S. I like my Goble- It was free.

Thanks Rome good stuff you added. Very few of the model for sale on ebay around here.

In a very general answer the 1950's was the time of tube axles. The 1200 model could not have been much before 1960.

I have used Killefer 1100 and it is a just a bit heavier than a 1200. The trouble with the 1100 is it is just harder to change disc blades on. As I farm rocks so blades will break, some times you can keep going and sometimes you cannot. Time gets more valuable the more acres you had left to plant. So on a 15 foot 1200 I had nuts on both ends of the 10 blade gangs. It was possible to change a blade without pulling it from under the disc. In my case the one good thing is the soil is non abrasive. So I was always looking for guys like Gee that took off 21 inch blades.




I think it would be wonderful if someone would make a video of making right turns with turn bar on a Cat.

I did find some of the cleaners Fred. But the way it is jumbled up not sure if they are front or back. To muddy to take loader and pull it out. The side with bolt holes is 4.5 inches until the bend starts. Bolt spacing is 1 3/4 I think. From the tip to the angle iron it is bolted to is 11 inches.

I think there should be others off the frame pieces, but again mud is hampering the search.

Ray54,
I will go out to the shop and take some really good pictures of the scrapers. I will make a measured drawing too. The rear and front gangs are mirror images of each other. Thanks for looking for me.

Also, I will definitely make a video of this guy turning some dirt when it’s all done, might be behind a pop’n Johnny because that’s what the turn bar fits that I have. Do you think maybe one of them bars would be on a d2 in the junkyard? Like Florin tractor?

Looks like from your description you have what I am looking for. Your measurements are the same as mine. I’m adding a picture.

The weather is better now, and almost time to turn some weeds with a disc!
Hope that D2Fred gets his disc together soon.
The 10-HD here got as much as it’s going to get from me; I think I will shine up the blades this weekend. Tough choice on which tractor to hook it up to. JM

I thought my dyer was rough! 

Nah, your disk is "well seasoned". Believe me, we have better iron here now than when we were full time farmers! Go figure. Sometimes as long as it works, that is all that matters.
I wanted to ask what brand yours was. I had no idea. Thanks. JM
