Model 100 spreader
Posted: Thu May 16, 2013 11:33 am
Hello all! Long time - no post ;^(
but, i'm back at it again... i found myself not one... but TWO Model 100 spreaders. in the same place. at the same time! and purchased both for $400. including covers!
(I would post some pics, but the ones i have are 2+megabytes each, and i couldn't add them to the photo gallery, and i can't recall how to just embed them here... duh)
However...
the "good" one needs a gear, and the "bad" one, though complete, is pretty darned rusted. so, owner sold it to me instead of the other intersted buyer because: a) i have a Cub b) i will fix and use the "good" one and use the "bad" one for parts (specifically the missing gear), and c) i most importantly promised NOT turn it into a planter in front of my house! Seriously, this was his greatest fear in selling the "good" one to the other guy!
Anyway, i'll have a million questions over the summer while restoring the "good" one into working condition, but for now i have the following questions. I have read the Model 100 manual, but can't get what i need to know:
1. what is the maximum width (outside edge of tire to outside edge of tire)?
2. what is the weight?
3. is the gear that I need available?
Please let me know...
thanks!
Dave
