Need Help replacing Wheel on Drop Spreader

[rmallaire]

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a Gandy 10T, 10' drop spreader. I purchased it from a farm that quit using it years ago, as they started hiring out a private company to do lime applications. I purchased it without wheels, they were taken off years ago for another application and the owner. From what I found, it calls for 15" wheels and has a 6 lug bolt pattern. The problem I am finding is trying to get a wheel to fit over the lock on hub which activates the shaft inside hopper to spin while spreading. Does anyone have experience with this, does the hub need to come off in order to put on the wheel or is it a custom wheel?

Thank you for your help,
Randy

I would think you'd be able to start the wheel center over the handle and then pivot onto the studs

here's a link to the Gandy page for the 10T, part of the way down the page you'll see "documents", it has the owners, and assembly manual
Hopefully the answer is there along with other info you'll need

1-ft. Drop Spreader with End-Wheel Drive | Gandy

Thank you for the reply. I found the manual helpful. I am wondering if there is a “universal/ aftermarket” wheel available instead of buying it from the manufacturer for $120 each. I’ll keep researching the specs of the wheel. Thanks again

I wouldn't think it's anything to special.

To me it looks like a 6 hole implement hub. An agricultural tire shop should be able to set you up.
