According to the New Holland parts lookup they were built 3/57-12/63. The 20-16 was the 100bu model. Here are pictures of the brochure I have for the 802 series which I think are the same just called them 802 at the end. I?ve seen a few for sale but not many. Always hope I?ll run across one close to home.

The spreaders was built in Des Moines, in the same Woods Bros plant the Ford manure loader and mounted corn pickers were built.

Resurrecting a older thread for any help with this ole Ford turd hearse. When I bought it years ago I was told it was a 20-17 and 120 bushel. There's no serial number tag on it but by the box dimensions it's a 130 bushel in the specs above.
My owners manual doesn't list specs but doing the math I came up with 80 cubic feet or around 65 bushel level load. My math could be off or are the bushels calculated with as much dry manure piled as high as possible?

Planning on putting it up for sale since I don't have any livestock now and no room under roof for it. One side and the floor have been replaced with 5/4 treated lumber and I bought high tensile floor chains and new wheels with used semi tires. It's got some decay but field ready.

Asking prices for speaders are all over the place and I don't know what I should ask for it. No luck searching TH for sold ones.

I don't know if the Mecum auction site lets you look up results of past auctions, but there were 2 Ford spreaders (and a Big Blue) that sold as part of a collection this past Tuesday. Sorry, I don't know what they brought... they weren't on my watch list, I just remember seeing them in the listings.
