I brought home a few weeks ago a manure spreader, horse drawn, steel wheels, wood bed. After studying the wisconsin web site and Wendel's IH book I am fairly certain it is either a no.1 or no.2 McCormick deering. Can anyone tell me the difference and how to tell which one I have?
The book says that no's. 1 and 2 were made from 1919 to 1924. The paint committe decisions dated 1925 indicated up to this time spreaders were red yellow and green, the red white and blue colors didn't start until 1927, and yet I scraped some grease and found blue paint on my gears. Any thoughts from anyone on this?
I would also like to see a picture to get the correct stencils made to letter it when I restore it. Anyone have a photo or owners manual?

There are many more manuals and photographs the Wisconsin HIstorical Society has that are NOT on the web- only about 1% of the photos are up. If you try a reference request, they'll be able to come up for more (there will be a fee of course).

farmerjohn, The 1 and 2 spreaders were built first under the International name(1919 to 1924) and under the McCormick-Deering name from 1924 to 1929. They were replaced by the No.4 in 1930. Easy way to tell the 1 and 2 apart is the width of the box. Width of box for number 1 was 37 inch in front and 38.5 inch in back. Width of No. 2 was 43.5 front and 45 inch in back.
