IH Drag Disk-7A/9A

Brad Briggs · Mar 9, 2011

Hello, Trying to rebuild a drag disk in a high school ag shop. It is either a 7A or 9A disk manufactured by McCormick Deering/IH. It has wooden pieces in the bearing/bushing area of the disk axles. Looking for replacements or ideas. Any help for my students would be great!! Thanks for the help!!

Hi Brad, if your high school has a wood shop, you should be able to fabricate the wooden bearings from some oak or ash stock.

You mean the woodworking class cant make them.

A CNC router is very nice to make those. Finding the router and a willing designer to make the code is also a challenge. Jim

Thanks for the ideas. Wasn"t real sure what the pieces looked like when orignal. Hoping we can get one out that will look fairly well. We have a CNC machine that might be able to do it. I"ll check on that. Does anyone know of anywhere to purchase the outer shell of the bearing? (The metal part)

Thanks, Brad

Local bearing stores can usually get that stuff. I am not familiar with the particular model you are working on, but a lot of bearing stuff is universal.
