Manure Spreader Identity

[Ihmechanic806]

I'm trying to identify this old spreader for a friend. She would like me to make some repairs to it, but i need a couple of sprockets to get the upper beater working again.
She thought it was a New Idea, I am thinking it is actually an old Kelly Ryan. Any info on make and or model would be greatly appreciated.

The pictures aren't the greatest it was parked between a tree and the shed, i will try to post some better side shot pictures in the next day or so.

Thanks in advance

My guess would be Kelly Ryan also. Made in Blair, Neb.

I agree with it being a Kelly Ryan.

for sure Kelly Ryan don't know the model #

Ya,OK. I was thinking Minneapolis Moline,but on the MM and Olivers that looked like that,the drive shaft ran down the other side of the box.

Figured it out....It appears that this is a L.H. Schultz Spreadmaster 2120, they were marketed under both the Schultz name and under Minne-Mo. Also some of their smaller spreaders were marketed through Massey.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Thanks in advance

I don't think it was a Kelly Ryan but I might be wrong. On a side note, my grandpa and Kelley Ryan were friends years ago.

Could it be a knight?

WHAT EVER MAKE IT IS..... IT WAS RODE HARD & PUT UP WET!!

It looks like a Ray Cunningham and Son , made in Wisconsin. I have an older one with plywood sides and floor.

I figured it out!

It is an L.H. Schultz Spreadmaster 2120

Also sold as a Minne-Mo LO 135

Thanks for all the input!

I saw one of those at a sale lot a few years ago. I would have love to have bought it. Yes that is what it is.

 

[rrlund]

Ha! I thought so. I had a single axle MM model LO something,but I don't remember what the numbers were. The shaft ran down the other side of the box on my smaller one,but the tongue,hitch,chains,sprockets,the whole works,looked just like that one.

Yep...Schultz....also made some models for Massey Ferguson. I have had one for 15 years. Good machine.

Be sure the Drive shaft to gearbox link is good and tight. You don't want to mess up the input shaft to the gear box.
