Manure spreader

[Bhaze]

Hello
I have an old spreader, I believe its a case.
I am trying to find the gear and chain for the
paddle. New to this and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Unless the sprocket teeth are hooked so they catch the chain as it leaves the sprocket it will be fine till you check it all over. Bend that guard tin out of the way of the chain oil it and go try it empty. IF good the oil floor with waste oil load about half for a few loads the go it. IF the sprocket is catching the chain at release point then with chain off grind the hook off the tooth and go to work till you can get a better sprocket. That chain has to be pretty loose to get it apart and back together again the side bar of the link has to be driven through the crack of the curl holding it. You will see it upon looking at it.

Sorry I wasnt clear on my post. I acquired a spreader like this and its missing the chain and sprocket that I have circled on this picture of a spreader like mine. I seem to be having trouble locating chain/sprocket new or used to purchase. Again, I apologize for my misleading post.

search on the internet for .... Manure Spreader Chain Sprockets - USA Roller Chain . If they have the sprocket they will probably have the chain too. You might also try Weasler or Shoup. Internet searches will help you a lot.
Send them the photo and see what they have available.

Hay hay hay will do. Thanks

That looks like steel chain to me,you might need a tool called a chain holder to assist you when removing the links!

Chain shouldnt be too difficult to find, but I cant seem to find any sprockets any more for this type of chain.

Baum Hydraulics in Omaha Nebraska has chain and some sprockets 18002289222 or baumhydraulics.com

Looks like it might be a 55 chain and sprocket if so some self unloading wagons had them on to drive the mechanism or were the cross chain and slat for the front where the material came out the side those chains were that size along with some of the older bale elevator drives had the same chain from the PTO shaft to the bottom end of the elevator and even some might have had them as part of the elevator chain with the slats in.

I have a very similar spreader. It needed the rear chain also. I ordered 55 chain and it was off just a bit. Found another one that had the chain on it and it was 52 chain. I just took the rear chain off and have not replaced it, mine spreads just fine without because the manure is so dry here it just falls out of the back. Eventually I will order some 52 and fix it. I think I got flat chain from Shoups.

I would start by measuring the shaft size. If it is standard you should be able to buy a weld on sprocket and hub to make your own. If it is 55 chain you have the option of going with 550 roller chain instead of the flat link chain. 55 series sprockets will take either type. USA Roller Chain does seem to have lots of options including custom boring sprockets. I need to contact them about making some combine feederhouse chain sprockets that are no longer available.

Mr. Leroy Mullet in Topeka, Indiana is an amishman that has built a very nice business rebuilding and now building new equipment. Give him a call with the dimensions of the shaft, if anyone will have parts or know of parts, he and his group will.

The color to me looks like it might be a DEARBORN. You may not be able to find parts for the older implements no matter what brand nowadays. You might try Scott Deppen at SweigardBros, Halifax, PA, or George Bradish at George Bradish Tractor Parts, LaTrobe, PA.

Tim, the picture of the spreader isn't the one he's looking for parts for. It's just to show what he wants.

 

[BarnyardEngineering]

The chain is commonly called "detachable chain" and is still commonly available.

#55 is a common size, but it could be one of any number of sizes. farmchains.com carries all the sizes of chain.

There are all kinds of detachable chain sprockets available online. You just need to know the chain type, number of teeth, and the size of the shaft. Hopefully you can find something that works but worst case you should be able to find a sprocket with the right teeth, which you can have bored and cross-drilled for the pin at a machine shop.

What model spreader is it?

 

[Texasmark]

If you are talking about the Ladder (flat) chain TSC carries them.
