Reader Ronald Pins, P.O. Box 71688, Des Moines, IA 50325, is wondering if anyone recognizes a disc he owns:

I’m hoping a Farm Collector reader can help identify this disc, the manufacturer, model and approximate year built. It has faded orange or red paint. It is a 10-foot single disc with a tractor drawbar hitch. Numbers were found on blade scrapers (310527L on one side and 310528R on the other) and disc bearings (300625 on one side and 300626 on the other). There is no serial number tag on the disc.

Reader Elmer Green, Lynd. Minn., (507) 872-6560 or (507) 828-8322, is looking for more information about a Montgomery-Wards Lo-Load running gear:

I have loosened the steering on this Montgomery-Wards Lo-Load running gear and painted it green because there was still some green paint on it. Does anyone know when it was manufactured? Since there is a tongue on it for a tractor, I’d guess in was in the 1940s. It was my grandfather’s.

Reader Larry Newman, 8711 Baseline Rd., Battle Creek, MI 49017; (269) 963-1563; jdman0509@yahoo.com, is looking for information on a corn sheller he recently purchased:

Recently I purchased a Sears & Roebuck corn sheller. No one at the Corn Items Collectors club had any information on the sheller. Sears was unable to provide any information. If anyone has any information, I’d be happy to visit with you. I want to restore the sheller so I need colors, history, etc.

Reader Mark Miller, mmiller@dollywood.com, sent along this note about a Gregg Iron Works mowing machine/sickle bar mower:

I purchased a Meadow King mowing machine (sickle bar mower) that I was unfamiliar with but was going to salvage parts from, until I got it home. I have searched everywhere for information, pictures, literature of any sort and I have only one source who has been able to help me. The county historian for Ulysses, N.Y., Joe Baldwin, has been a blessing in a small amount of information.

The piece is almost complete (missing only the seat and wood tongue and handle). It apparently was manufactured by Gregg Iron Works in Trumansburg, N.Y., between 1860 and 1888 when the company went out of business. It is very modern for its time and very ornate. The wheels are what first caught my eye. I plan to replace the wood, add a cast iron seat and that’s it. It appears to have original paint on it and it could be made to operate again with little work.
