#51 John Deere 3320 3033R Disking with Antique Disk

After finishing our plowing fun, we decided ti disk it down with our old antique disk.
I have no idea what brand of disk this is. Nor do I know how old it is.
I know that we rescued it from my uncle's woods over 35 years ago. It had not been used in MANY years at that point.
I believe our John Deere 1025R could pull this disk. Afterall, we used to pull it with a 2 wheel drive Farmall Cub. One of the early ones (12 hp).
Featured Product: Lock-n-Lube. Get it here: goo.gl/hZbLcG
Be sure to check out our plowing video which was shot just before this one.

I wish all the you tube people would put out videos with no swearing or bad jokes. Keep up the great work.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Appreciate that, Walter. We don't see the point.

[@denjhill]

Totally agree.

[@DarrenMalin]

'the pokey things' , that is a much better name for the IMHO :)

[@lalovenegas7945]

my granpa had a disk exactly like the one you guys are using and I loved the thing! Grate video guys brought me so many good memories.

[@hlyautey]

That is a real farm there. Thank you for what you do.

[@jerrybaker433]

I like katriel as commentator. I love when tim explains lrojects

[@denjhill]

Just something comforting about this video. Watching the whole family working together, just having fun. Good job. Thanks.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks Dennis. Have you seen the partner video to this one? 3320 with Ferguson 2-12 plow.

[@denjhill]

Not yet, but will soon. Thanks!

[@thomasmccrea8149]

Thanks for posting. I spent a lot of time when I was a kid pulling a disk similar to that with a Case VAC tractor. Great memories.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Thomas Mccrea thanks for watching. Any idea what brand of disk this is?

[@dalekrueger1175]

it looks like aJohn Deere model L built way back in the 1920s,

[@dalekrueger1175]

and they use wood block for gang bearing i have one just like it

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+dale krueger do you know what brand it is?

[@dalekrueger1175]

it is a john deere model L built in the 1920s cause i have one just like it for the garden

[@bigjim5723]

very good info for a lot of people who has never seen how the dirt is worked. my families didn't own a disk, we used a wooden drag, to smooth things out, and then went over it with a 3section harrow. I have to say-I do believe uns are liking the u-tube movie business-ha! and I love watching them too.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+BigJim57 My favorite part is meeting folks like you. We are developing some good friendships here.

[@bigjim5723]

tim-that is what I like too. over the yrs working away from the house, I have met a lot of good folks over the yrs. some of them still call yet.

[@pamlittle1708]

[@leewyser9073]

I really like your videos dude. Very well made and I always feel like I learned something. Y'all seem like genuinely good people.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the kind words, Lee! This is an old one...long time ago. We had a fun day that day.

[@leewyser9073]

@@TractorTimewithTim Yes sir, I saw the date. I watch all of your videos at least once. I dont comment much though

[@MrAstrojensen]

That tractor is so cute!

[@tractorboy31]

we resurrected a 6ft John Deere Killefer disc. dad and gramps trip over it. only had a welded wieght bar above the ground it had sunk. used the boom pole that gramps built on the 520 and pulled it out. the 520 pulls it but gets a good work out

[@doncroddy7856]

I'm enjoying your videos. Just found your you tube channel and subscribed. Reminds me of grandpa's farm back in the day, 50's I spent many a day pulling a disk like that. Great video for and old man like me to watch. Keep up the good videos. Central Indiana USA

[@jbouchard4877]

I just bought an old disc harrow that is probably just as old as this one. Can’t wait to get out and use it. It’s for my garden and a community garden that I’m setting up. Don’t have a tractor though. My 4x4 truck will have to do

[@jbouchard4877]

Also. I only have one row of discs

[@interman7715]

Love your videos, keep um coming .

[@rokitman5753]

that little tractor if painted white would look like the PopeMobile lol it looks funny

[@donniebargo964]

My grandfather called them gooseneck discharrows because the way the rear arches over the front

[@mi2tn]

I see you changed your name. Didn't know who this was at first. I like the knives on the disk. Wish I had that on my disk. If the ground is a little wet it would keep the dirt from sticking to the disk between the blades. I haven't seen a disk where you can adjust it like that. Pretty kewl. Thanks for showing it.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+mi2tn Ah come on, you would recognize me anywhere! :-) I'm surprised your disk doesn't have scrapers. If we ever had a scraper fall off of our big disks, it would get full of mud very quickly, and never unplug. Scrapers are a requirement, at least in our area. In fact, I bet we couldn't have disked that little garden without filling the disk full.

[@mi2tn]

My disk is a brinly that was a CAT 0 that I turned into a CAT1. It does have at least 1 disk that fills up, sometimes more. I have to stop and dig it out. The longer I'm retired the more I wish I knew how to weld.

[@CashJohnston]

Very cool! So I have a much smaller version of that. Interesting that the Lock and Lube fit the grease zirk from so long ago. I've been meaning to get a grease gun like that, very handy.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Cash Johnston Yes, yours is smaller. Search for King Kutter Disk online and you can see what yours COULD be with some welding. Fun project. Equally interesting to see that the zerks still work after all of these years. Pretty amazing invention. Maybe I should do a video on that?

[@jamesdiehl8690]

My grandfather had a small Farmall tractor and that would have been the appropriate size. He only farmed between 20 and 30 acres with it. Just enough to feed the family and sell at the farmer's market.

[@kylegibbons3290]

Top tractor

[@73h73373r357]

What do you like about your Lock N' Lube? Well, it locks, and it lubes.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Go Away from exactly! Please order from the link at tractortimewithtim.com

[@thomasmccrea8149]

Sorry Tim , the old disk we have is completely worn of paint and markings . Many of these older implements were converted from horse drawn. When I get a chance I will do a little research and find out. Whatever brand ours is I remember being able to match up replacement bearings for it at NAPA.

[@wcox4]

Good video and very informative, but as far as disk adjustment, you can't beat a set of JD KBA's!!!!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Wayne Cox I'm not familiar, Wayne?

[@wcox4]

old style john deere drag disk. We had one and to adjust cut, we pulled a rope that was attached to a lever on the tongue, back up, release rope, and lever would lock in place. When you pulled forward, the disk gangs would then go to full cut. When done, pull rope, pull forward, then release rope, and disk would go to transport. They could be adjusted for different cuts. Loved them!! BTW, how wide is your disk?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Wayne Cox I think this one is a 5'. It isn't much of a disk...blades totally worn out. Only used once a year for a few min. ...but thought it would make a fun video.

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

Taking my memories back 50 yrs would have been nice to have a nice jd with air con cab and radio instead of an old ford son major , but molly good video

[@Ronis88]

Definately need autosteer here! 😁

[@carlosperez-cl2dw]

muy bueno ver estos vídeos ya que nos muestran tractores y los equipos antiguos que todavía están en uso, lo que les agradecería es que le sugieran a los dueños que les den un poco mas de cariño y los pinten los mantengan engrasados y completamente utilizables, así fomentar no tener chatarra en sus granjas dándole una mejor visión a las granjas, que demuestre que sus dueños son cuidadosos, ordenados amantes de sus Maquinarias y equipos, sirviendo de ejemplo para los futuros agricultores que preserven las Maquinas y equipos utilizados por sus abuelos y padres. Agradecido por su vídeo, ya que demuestra la idea de como se debe trabajar con los equipos antiguos y demostrando que son útiles en la actualidad.-

[@donniebargo964]

That is a john deere jb series I have one I have rebuilt and am getting ready to paint and decal andi have the spikes to go with them yours is either worn out or is 14 inch blades mine has 16 inch I use them every year heavily you can tell what they are bu the ball that hooks rear sections to the front

[@kevinholsten6026]

What is that an 8'disc, hell he's moving right along

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Nah, probably 6’

[@kevinholsten6026]

Now hit it the tiller and you've got a real nice garden plot

[@peterkober6758]

Tim the disk looks like the one on buddy's farm I pulled one with a Massy Harris 44 PaK

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Any idea what brand?

[@peterkober6758]

Tractor Time with Tim got no idea that was 60 years ago when I talk with buddy George I will ask he lives in Florida now but come backe in summer PaK

[@waltermattson5566]

Tim the bigger tractor you “need” is in this video.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Really like that 3320. I just wish it had a loader.

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

You would need the J D s Daddy to pull that big Disc Harrow

[@MrJohndeere3720]

nice. :)

[@mwnciboo]

I've got some older rusted up stuff like this on my hobby farm. What do you do Tim, use penetrating oil on all the working /moving parts then dissassemble, grease it all and re-assemble it? It looks sturdy and solid despite some superficial rust and old paint.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

For the most part, we do not attempt to disassemble. Simply apply grease and continue. If grease fitting rusted out, we will replace it. Of course, we are not using this old disk enough to worry about it.

[@mwnciboo]

Tractor Time with Tim Fair enough, i'm always retincent to use some old equipment as i never know what it has been used for also there are so many agricultural accidents and some are caused by trying to force something to work /cutting a corner. I'll just buy some newer implements than risk it damaging my 3pt or PTO jury rigging old 1970's and early equipment to modern tractors.

[@carlosperez-cl2dw]

Ya que los Amiguitos tienen maquinaria y equipos actualizados y nuevos, por favor hagan un galpón abierto para que los puedan resguardar de la intemperie ordenándolos según su tipo y uso le daría una mejor visión de orden en la Granja.- ha sobre todo mantengalos libre de oxido, pintaditos engrazados listos para el trabajo.- Gracias por el Vídeo.-

[@michealsousa559california5]

Tim, neat old disc, did you tell Katriel that that disc is before they had hydraulics on tractors. All the implements in the old days had cranks and trip levers and ropes.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Micheal Sousa I think she is tired of hearing my 'when I was a kid...' stories! Of course in this instance, it was before I was born.

[@michealsousa559california5]

Tractor Time with Tim Well I'm glad you teach her about farming. The city kids think food comes from the store.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Micheal Sousa believe it or not, there are NO Ag classes at our high school, and we have over 5000 students at the high school! There are no plant genetics classes, etc either. Seems to be NO interest in exposing students to Ag. Frustrating!

[@michealsousa559california5]

Tractor Time with Tim that's not good. AG is all around us, and all our food clothing, fuel come from the land.

[@steveadams4009]

I think Harrow Teeth have cost more tractor tires than any thing else on a farm.

[@roberttimozek1265]

whats nice about the older stuff you didn't need a tractor you could put a truck jeep or a tracked machine and have a garden

[@waltermattson5566]

If you were to buy another hydrostatic tractor in the 30-40 HP range are there any brands or models you would not buy?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I am personally not a fan of the Deere 3E series. I like the higher end features. Flexibility of removable loader, etc. I’ll leave it at that:

[@waltermattson5566]

Thank you Tim.

[@clintlewis1719]

Run from Mahindra like the plague. Have one and nothing but problems. Had a Kubota that was great but no cab. Getting a JD 3033r next month and have heard nothing but good things about em

[@waltermattson5566]

Thank you Clint. It is always nice to hear about tractors people aren’t happy with.

[@thankfultexas6036]

Comb example is not what it does what a disc does it gets weeds when like a sweeps or rod weeder can't get the weeds then that's when you use the disc. That is exactly what a disc does and I'm 11

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Well, Caedan, my father is 85. He has been farming all of his life. I don’t think he needs to be told what a disk is good for. Please be careful in how you write your comments. You are not the expert at 11 years old. Please enjoy our videos, and learn what you can from them. Thanks for watching!

I think you need some Fluid Film

Whats that name of the yellow pump

[@RobertsVintageGardenTractors]

There's an event I went to a couple of years ago and I'd like to go to again and the event was the green and yellow plow days new in new riegel Ohio.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Sounds fun!

[@RobertsVintageGardenTractors]

@@TractorTimewithTim, It was fun, a couple of my dad and I's friends let us hop on their John Deere 430 diesel garden tractors. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWGtXmx3pNGJgas, This my cub with it's plow. The plow is a 12" brinly mold board plow. This video is pictures from the first time I used it. Since then it's had 23x10.50x12 ag tires put on the back. I plan on using it the next time I go to the plow days.

Now that I think about it. I think it was pulled by a B when it was new.
