You’re welcome Dan, always a pleasure to help out a fellow KZitemr/enthusiast. It looks even better now it’s on the back of the tractor 👍

That little spreader would be ideal to keep for spreading grass seed when you reseed a field, too good to put fertilizer in it

We had one of those in about 1967, even though i was young i knew how corrosive Nitram and compounds etc were, at the end of the day I took it to bits and washed it thoroughly with the hose pipe, ( i wish we had a pressure washer in those days). I was never tempted not too because i was using next day because i knew the compacted powder on the spinner and bottom of the hopper would set like concrete overnight due to the atmosphere. It was like new years after when it was sold. Might be better off going round and round because of spread pattern, easier to see the mark as well, could stripe a bit otherwise. In those days the granules/prills varied tremendously depending on make and type so just about had to calibrate and fine tune every time changed fertiliser. I did this by working out area covered against weight used at the start of the field, i generally knew the length of the field so just had to stride up the headland a few yards (one or two return bouts) for example one field we had i knew it was seventeen yards up the headland for an acre. It’s funny the things you can recall after all this time. happy days😊.

That's an awesome piece of memorabilia I think you should overhaul and paint it as an example of working history.

That is genuinely a lovely little addition to the fleet. I’m waiting for the 35x to pull a wheelie though🤪

One of those rare finds that just requires a cosmetic paint job rather than parts.

That takes me back, my father had one of those spreaders here in Ireland in the early 70s.

Really nice looking machine you got there Dan 👌 your comment regarding working out forward speed for application rate is one of the reasons I always preferred the land drive system 🤔👍 look forward to seeing it in action 💪

That is amazingly rot free. I remember them when new and compared to the old grey Ferguson spreader the tinwork seemed alarmingly thin gauge. The paper bag splitter at the top centre of the hopper was fairly useless by the time this spreader was launched because it just hit the era of hundredweight plastic bags. Only basic slag and GAFSA came in paper bags and that stuff bridged in the hopper and wouldn’t flow . I never did get single disc spreaders of this era to spread evenly and I always had stripy crops as a consequence, especially in grassland by the mid season after two or three applications.

Thank you for the video Dan, at least there's something to watch while on holiday, as long as the Laird doesn't know about the 100 year's overdue rent plus interest while I'm around on his estate !!.😬
