John Deere 750A Disk Bulk Order

[mikep]

Many years ago my father bought a set of plough points. The dealer wondered why he didn't buy a few sets while he was there, the local soil would wear out a set a day, my father pointed out that a few miles further away the points only needed turning after the first year and would have the remains of the last set welded on to last the third year. I dread to think what the individual part costs of wearing parts would be if they lasted as long on all farms.

Same here, almost no sand or stone so rust is more of a problem than wear.
A set of ransoms cast points would do over 800 acres on a six furrow reversible (not used it for years but still plenty of metal left).
Strange thing is disc harrows showed the same lack of wear but discs on my drill are half worn after 700 acres and the coulters are shot and have been repointed once already.

I'm currently trying to source the harder RC55 discs, so unless I can't get hold of them I'm not going to want any of the OEM ones thanks.

If my quick calculations are correct we are 16 off getting to 200.

Go on @Feldspar , take a set for the team!

 

[Feldspar]

36 please since we seem to be unable to source harder discs at present.

 

[green giant]

Well as long as no one drops out we have hit the 200 mark, I will be contacting everyone via pm over the next few days.
Still time for any last minute orders
Thanks to all who have helped each other in a group buy.

I was just going to get mine white hot and then dump into ice water. I seem to remember from school that's how to make hard metal?

And make it brittle too from memory.
