Someone had managed to gather together about 60 farm implements and wagons and has decided to put them on display. The vast majority of the farm implements are very old horse drawn machines. The collection includes plows, cultivators, harrows, discs, mowers, corn planters, farm wagons, potato diggers and planters, a hay loader, a manure spreader and two road graders. The display is immediately north of Highway 37 and 1.2 miles west of Highway 93 which runs through Eureka and north to the Canadian border. The site appears to be accessible 24/7/365, at no charge.
Of the two discs, this is would be the older one, as the other is all steel while this one has a wooden tongue, long ago broken. This has a single adjustment lever, while the other has one for each gang. How the adjustment levers work and what they accomplish is a mystery to me. Both discs have weight boxes over each gang of eight discs. The driver sits between the gangs, immediately behind the adjustment lever. We didn't find a maker name or any part numbers on either of the discs.
