I saw a little too much of that Saturday. Luckily the spreader was pretty well empty,but those front idlers that the apron rides up over in front on my New Idea 3732 are steel not cast. The chain wore right through one and let the chain fall back. It ran just long enough to get crossed up underneath then all h#ll broke loose. It broke the chain on one side,broke two teeth off the sprocket that drives it on that side and broke the idler on the other side.
We had to finish taking the chain apart in the field to get it home. I had some thick walled pipe the same size as those idlers,so I made two new ones. I found one of the teeth off the drive sprocket and welded that back on with nickle rod. Made one to replace the other one and welded that one on and built it up to size with nickle. We had enough slack to take a link out of the other side and had it going by 4 o'clock after it broke about 10 o'clock in the morning.
