Not all H&S spreaders use those tensioners. This one does, but we have another 220 at home that is now a scrap hauler that has a solid shaft across the front with idler sprockets on it. I think the other one I'm going to buy has the same shaft and idler setup.
That one also has a home made beater in it and it's going to need some attention before too long. Probably just make up more mounts like I made and then weld those on the tube. We actually got the square tube from the same gentleman and I copied his home made beater for this one. He has 3 spreaders, all with home made replacement beaters in them. Each one was tweaked some and revised.
I like the challenge of repairing things most guys would give up on, and I'm very fortunate to work in a shop that allows me to use their equipment. I have just about everything at my disposal, including the machining center I usually run with a 70"x40" table and 50 taper spindle.
I've got a photobucket account with a file of my projects over the years, and I've gotta say there are some good ones in there. One of my next major projects is going to be replacing a bunch of shafts on our Gehl 920. It broke the shaft coming out of the gearbox for the beaters when the bottom one twisted off, and then the input shaft is also worn where the shear bolt goes and so is the other shaft that's on the other side of the shear tube. I'm also going to go with a beater out of our decommisioned Meyers wagon in place of the Gehl beater. That'll be all 3 in use in Gehl wagons, and only 2 more OEM beaters between the 920 and 970.
