dave replied to the topic Trusty Wooden Bearings in the forum Projects 10 years, 10 months ago

I think that you will find that nearly all disc harrows had wood bearings, as the
dusty soil conditions and oil or grease made for a very good grinding paste and the
oil soaked wood was a better bearing surface than any metal to metal bearing.
I fitted a new set of wood bearings in my set of discs about 20 years ago and they
are still going strong today.
