Someone gave dad a set of old Dearborn discs. Bearing cap is broken on one side and I'm having trouble sourcing one. Anybody got any clue where to find a source?
I found a a P/N but it appears to be discontinued.
Picture of the broken part? I'm sure it would be easy to repair of make a new one. It could be that all you need is a metal strap with a hole in each end that sits across the cap on the existing bolts, just to hold the pieces in place.

Disc parts aren't usually proprietary. You should be able to find all the parts you need to totally rebuild it if you ever wished.
I've bought some parts for an old disc through AgriSupply before. They were easy to deal with.

Search Ebay for “disc harrow bearing cap”
You may find something close enough to replace the top and bottom caps as a set.

I think I'll try the one from agrisupply above and see if it I can make it work
Got a new set of discs, 2 bearing caps, and axle on the way. Gonna see if the spacers will fit with the new axle but may have to order those too. That axle was only a little bent lol
