I just got this Spreader from my neighbor. I still functions but could use some TLC. Does anyone know the make and model and if finding parts is possible
The only identifying marks is the number 6063-A stamped on the frame.
My plan is to use it to spread fertilizer and lime on food plots

Sorry, I can't help you with a make or model, but that type of spreader was originally used, towed behind a flatbed truck. The flatbed contained lime and it was shoveled from the flatbed to the spreader as quickly as humanly possible. (Wonder how I know this?) Your hopper might carry 300 lbs of lime and is not going to last very long once you start spreading.

Looks like it's all there. Does it function?

I wouldn't worry about putting lime on a food plot.

It would be good for spreading seed/fertilizer if it will shut down enough.

Got it all lubed and greased. Machanically, it works fine. Just need news tires. The two shut-off can be adjusted down to very fine setting. I will give it a try with fertilizer and if it works I will replace the hopper with a spare wheel barrow bucket I have laying around
