Been,
Thank for the advice. I am not going to store manure in the spreader. We compost it behind the barn and then spread it on the fields when mostly mature. I use my FEL to turn the piles over every couple days to keep it composting.
The spreader is in fairly good shape. Wood sides have a bit of wear, but will last longer. The chain and bars are just about rusted out and will need to be replaced soon. Another reason why I would like to identify the make and model. I know I can get a replacement chain/bar set up without knowing the manufacturer, but it would make me feel better in the long run.
My wife has informed me that I am not do do ANYTHING to the spreader (as far as breaking it... er... um... fixing it up) until the 30+ tons of manure behind the barn are spread. So, I have some time. In addition, my honey-do list is now officially 27 items which makes the spreader number 28. /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif
As far as driving too fast... Well, I'll just have to try to keep my speed down (not an easy thing for me to do). The first time I used it, I was pretty much going full power in Medium. It spread the manure very well at that speed. But, if I am going to damage the sprader at that speed, I'll just have to spread in low range. /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

Looks like either a J.I. Case or an Allis Chalmers. The lever mechanisms aren't typical of McCormick Deering (AKA IHC).
