Just put this somewhere else. I didn't have any luck with turd hearsts. Bought an old NI first, and after a year part of the frame holding the axle rotted out and broke. Used a neighbors' spreader to finish hauling manure that year. Then I bought a JD 40, the one with the logging chain apron. It lasted about two years before the thing hogged one day going into a field with a load on. The whole back end from the axle back started to fall off. Then I bought an Oliver. Nice looking machine, but the apron chain was so worn out that the links came apart on the second load ( the first was only half full just to see if the back end was working properly). Then I bought a NI tandem. Looked to be in pretty fair shape. Almost new apron chain and the beater was in decent shape. But someone hadn't cleaned off the jackshaft on the apron chain forever and it was only about 1/2" thick where it came out of the gearbox. It sheared off soon after I got it. So, I took the gearbox off, tore it down and tried to press the shaft out of the drive gear. That's when the drive gear broke. Checking on prices for a new gear and shaft quickly added up to almost twice what I paid for the spreader. I had a buddy braze the gear back together, put the gear box back in, welded the shaft back together, ran a couple of light loads thru it, gave it half a wash job and took it to a sale. I got $100 more than I paid for it and went out and bought a new one, which I've had for about fifteen years. Besides some worn paint and beaters, it looks and operates like a new machine, but it gets a good cleaning and grease job every time it's used. I just got the $--ts of working on the used ones---
