Does anyone know what spreader this is? I bought it at a auction on saturday. It looks like a big one it just a smaller version. There is no name or serial number on it. Any information would be appreciated.

The indicator on the back side is like a Dearborn I have, however, my Dearborn is Blue. Ken Sweet

Looks very much like an IH (McCormick Deering) #6 drop spreader to me.....

If possible, post a picture of the in/out of gear locking mechanism on the hub. I can tell more from that than any other indentifying feature.

As far as I can tell there isn't any gear to lock in. The agitator turns all the time. You have to shut the gate to stop the flow.

The spreader is 4 foot wide and 19 inches tall if that helps any in identifying this spreader.

There are no part numbers or anything else to help to identify it.

Looks good but the first thing I would do is clean and check the chain to be sure it rolls smoothly then spray with a good chain lube.

There is no chain at all. The beaters are driven by the axle shaft that goes to the tires.

FWJ, Great to see you back. You've been missed by many members.

Mike can you post a pic of your spreader from the side that shows its wheels?

I realize this is an old thread.....but GANDY makes a few sizes of drop spreaders similar to those shown in the pics. Might be one of their's? I think they are still made in Owatonna MN and they have a website.

Old thread, but looks like a garber to me.
