Manure spreader restoration

Old PTO driven International Harvester manure spreader restoration.

Looks very similar to the Massey Ferguson 10 and 20 series dry manure spreaders. Nice video.

Wondering if you know the year of that spreader ??? This is probably from the end of 60's beginning of the 70's. By the tone of your voice, looks like you're a lot younger than that farm equipment. I'm 58. I saw those spreaders working and they were a blast when they came out back in time. Sperry New Holland had very good spreaders too on the market. So I tip my hat to you in making this vintage farm implement back to life. They were not just good and well built, they are now part of our heritage. Keep on your good work.

I really don't know what year it is, but it was a fun project.

you might have said this but what kind of wood did you use for the floor and did you seal them

[@julietmike9136]

I just used DF-L #2 non-treated lumber. I didn't seal it with anything, but I do wash it after each use and keep it stored inside. I spray it down with a diesel/oil mix after it dries so that it soaks into the wood. I think it'll last as long as I need it to since it only gets used a handful of times each year.

Thanks, I'm not sure what size the tires are, maybe around 40"
