Mystery John Deere manure spreader

[Rainman19]

I’m planning to look at a manure spreader tomorrow. The owner says it is a John Deere T7130. The John Deere dealer cannot find record of a T7130 but sure enough, I found a different one on the internet. Virtually no information is out there if you Google “John Deer T7130 manure spreader”. Is this actually a John Deere 33 in disguise?

This is the only photos of the one I am planning to go inspect. Hard to tell what it is from the two shots but looks like a model 33. If so, is this a reliable piece of equipment?

Appears similar to a model 33

Ummm... Doesn't it have a big number 34 right there on the side?

eta: Looks like one visible difference between 33 and 34 is the hitch.

It is a 34. The 33's had metal sides with only one board at the bottom where the 34 had all wood sides. The 34 had an improved ratchet drive compared to the 33. Deere sold lots of them and my dad had 2 brand new ones. Tom

Leave it where it is.

Thank you all! Perhaps a 34 then. Wonder why the tag that says T7130?

that is a spreader photo I found on the internet with the same T7130 model number but that’s a good catch.

Here are photos of the spreader I now own. It’s a bit rough but seems functional. It’s all lubed up but needs some new metal welded in spots. Would like to have manual operation / parts. Hopefully parts are available.

Notice that "T7130" is a TYPE number.

Dunno why DEERE sometimes didn't list the model # on the tag, only the "Type #.

They did that on lots of lawn and garden pieces, as well, and you have to figure out what the model may be,

There should be manuals on Ebay. Should still be parts as most were the same as a 40. The 34 just had lower sides. Here in WI there were lots of them on the many small dairies.
