Been working on a manure spreader for the last couple weekends. All the wood was rotten, this is what came out. Lol.
Replaced all the wood and made a couple other repairs and it's all done.
This is a Minnesota brand spreader, made in the prison in Stillwater. They were a good no frills machine, they only had one speed for the apron and that was slow. You could disengage the beater, but that was about it. I won't be keeping it because a neighbor has a Case spreader he will trade for it, after all we all know case is better. Lol. Anyway, if anyone tells you that replacing the wood in a spreader is not a bad job you stop hanging around with them, you don't need that kind of dishonesty in your life. Lol. That was a lot more work than I expected. I was lucky to have the lumber left from the house remodel we did so at least it didn't cost much. But it looks good now. Hope he is happy with it.
