IH 100 manure spreader

Michael Noonan · Oct 10, 2013

Would anyone know what species of wood floor boards
that were used on IH 100 manure spreaders?

Pooplar? Sorry, couldn't resist. I have a brochure around here somewhere...I'll see if it says.

I used 1" pt. Keep it oiled with used oil once a year. It's been over ten years now and still looks good. Remember it's wider in the rear. I started on the outsides and cut the last piece for the center to fit. I used 1/4" carriage bolts and redrilled where needed.

I would say Yellow Pine. Lots of implement manufactures used the lumber

My IH reference just says "wood impregnated with a preservative". Given the time, it could have been pine with creosote.

I used oak in mine, but it is only used for parade duty and is stored inside. Just be aware when you cut the new boards that the spreader bed is wider at the back so the outside boards need a slight taper.
