Owners manual

[Steve Banks]

Would anyone have or know where I can get a manual for a John Deere disk, I'm not entirely sure but I think it is a model 12. ( it is an 8 ft. cut, cyl. lift and old.) the back gangs are held up by chains on the outside ends.
If doesn,t anybody have one or knows where I can get one, I will contact John Deere.

You could try Jensales at http://www.jensales.com I think. They have old manuals for just about everything and stuff they can't get from the companies anymore they can reprint. Getting one for an implement may be quite a feat though.

Just curious, why do you need a manual on it?? A disk is pretty simple piece of equipment. Sounds like if it has chains holding up the rear gangs it must be a museum piece. I think I saw one of those in the History of JD Equipment Volume I or something. Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with museum pieces I run more than a few myself; old stuff usually built better and definitely cheaper than new. You may have a job finding that manual though... Good luck! OL JR

Good luck getting any of the model specific parts, we still have one of those things here and we still use it occasionaly, we have had to do custom repairs.

Steve, try http://www.jdparts.com and click on "John Deere Parts Catalog" if a parts list is what you are looking for.

I am using an old JD 4 furrow plow and needed to replace some reset parts.

I asked the fellow at the parts counter to print me the schematics he was getting my parts numbers from.

Not being any type of mechanical wizard I doubt if I could have completed those repairs without the diagrams.

Cost of bearings and springs - $120.00
Cost of impact socket to fit large nut - $15.00
Walking out of a JD dealership with something free - PRICELESS!
