Scratch building a folding disc
I finally got a enough materials collected to start my latest build- a folding disc. If this is anything like the New Holland conversion i did it should take about 2 years too complete. First i started out with 3/16" x 3/4" aluminum strips to build the uprights that hold the row of disc. In the drill press had to make 16 pieces.
Next i pressed a bearing into cause i want this disc to last a long time.
Next I took some 1 1/4" fenders and tapped the with 1/4 x 20 tap.
Next threaded them on some 1/4" x 20 rod sharpened the edge on my bench ginder.
stock washer vs sharpened one
Ok i have 80 of these washers to due today. So tomorrow I'll post picture of a assembled row of disc. Time to get back to the ginder.
