Its probably a reasonable price, but you don't say what you were looking at.
In this area, every so often I see New Idea, and or New Holland PTO models up for sale around $1000-$1500, in field ready shape, or with some work needed. You find one complete that is not a basket case or rotted out, its a good buy even a tad over $1500.
We got 2 used N.I. models, flail type, in '09 for $1000 or so, one needed a floor, did that, has an apron for holding back the manure, the other was basically in real nice shape, greased it up and observed the works, worked out nice, but you don't see these every day. Its 10 ply tires are dry rotted but it was a great find. We used to sell them at our dealership, NI's from the early 70's and up were a pretty good spreader, we've had 3 of them so far.
I keep after the maintenance on them, sometimes it really pi$$es me off about maintenance on these, as when I am not working at the place, no one does it, you absolutely have to take good care of them, open that cover and check on things, and grease those high speed components often at minimum, oil the roller chains, and check for things loosening up etc. It sucks to have a beat up spreader, missing bars on the apron chain, rusted out, these are not often found used and cheap like the ones we have, you just have to look everyday until you find one up for sale.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
