Was splitting wood today and the trailer that we normally haul the wood on had blown a tire. So this was the solution. Got the job done. Lol. D-14 is always on firewood duty. Empty  Just finished loading  Getting ready to unhook  On the way to the garage  ------------- 1937 WC, 1950 CA, 1959 D14, 1967 190XT, 2006 Ram 3500 |

| I used a chit spreader for hauling all our firewood too! but we always stacked it in the shed when we gots back. I took the beaters off the back, i'd reach in as far as I could from the back, then i'd start the PTO at the lowest idle, that would keep bringing me the wood to back to stack, it didn't move fast enough to ware a person out, but I didn't hafta reach in and over and strain myself to get the wood out either! and I could empty it completely. worked very well! I also had 2 ft side boards on the spreader! that Polaris looks bigger than yer tractor! lol my spreader was a "Kelly Ryan" brand spreader. |

Looks like a McCormick 50 spreader. ------------- Looking at the past to see the future. '53 WD, '53 WD45, WD snap coupler field cultivator, #53 plow,'53 HD5B dozer Duct tape.... Can't fix stupidity. But will muffle the sound of it! |

Now that’s an idea. If only this was a PTO spreader. ------------- 1937 WC, 1950 CA, 1959 D14, 1967 190XT, 2006 Ram 3500 |

When a new manure spreader was bought on our dairy farm , the old one would be stripped of the chains and beaters . Made for a good utility trailer to pull behind the tractor. Little heavy on the tounge weight but you could load em down heavy over the back axle with those large wheels.Low to the ground , easy to climb in and out of the back. I can remember a church sponsored weiner roast at our farm .The old manure spreader was being used as a hay wagon to haul people around. An elderly nice dressed lady asked my brother what is this trailer? She thought it looked odd . Not as odd as her face when he told her what it used to be used for. Don't think she took any more rides after that. ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

This one still gets used a few times a year. I would like to take it apart and restore it one day. I wish I knew exactly what it was. I’m wanting to say it’s a McCormick but I can’t find an ID tag on it anywhere. ------------- 1937 WC, 1950 CA, 1959 D14, 1967 190XT, 2006 Ram 3500 |

Looks a lot like my IH or McCormick model 100. Google pictures, and see...

Looks like my 100 also. Has the smaller wheels, not the 20" like a 100. Also shorter length. ------------- Looking at the past to see the future. '53 WD, '53 WD45, WD snap coupler field cultivator, #53 plow,'53 HD5B dozer Duct tape.... Can't fix stupidity. But will muffle the sound of it! |

I think the wheel size on mine is like 7.50X16. I bought mine from a neighbor of a place that they were auctioning off all the farm equipment. I had run some Amish guys up to $350, on one in much worse shape, and the neighbor said to take a look at the one in his barn. He said he'd clean up the load of kindling, that was in it, and pull it out of the barn, for me, for $375. I came to pick it up, the next week, hadda new tire on it, he said it blew, when he pulled it out. I know that tire hadda cost him close to $100, I gave him an extra $20, that was all I had with me, at the time...

Hee hee... if ONLY it was a PTO spreader... yep, that'd make it easy to 'creep' the wood back. I have a rule- I don't stack firewood... Instead, I have a bunch of IBC totes... 275 and 330 gallon. I took the straps off the top, took valve off bottom, slid the bladders out a foot, and cut the tops of the bladders off with chainsaw, slid 'em back in, and then put 'em on forks behind the D17, and park it beside the splitter. Split, and throw 'em right in. Once full, I take 'em around back, and grab another. I'll fill eight or so, take a 2" hole saw in cordless drill, and perforate the bladder's sides, then stack the totes up alongside the grainery building. Air flows through nicely, any rain falls right through to bottom, and out valve port... wood dries FAST in these things, and when it's time, I fork one into the shop, pick 'em off the top 'till it's half empty, then it tilt it on it's side. All the bark debris stays IN the tote... very little winds up on the floor, and I don't hafta fuss with a frozen wood pile in the winter... and... no bugs, no rot... ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem.

I see no issue here from not having a PTO , I would simply jack the unit to clear the rear tires and have my mother in law come over and spin the tires while the wife unloads it... they work great together. You guys give us the best ideas - hmm now if that was a new IDEA spreader...……. ------------- When told "it's not the money,it's the principle", remember, it's always the money.. |
