cyclone1 0 #1 Posted April 21, 2011 my grandfather left me his old cyclone spreader. to me this is one of a kind and they don't make them like this anymore. so after 20+ years gears have worn out. i'm looking for parts any type of info you may have to suggest, where to go or find would be greatly appreciated. seems like my searches say obsolete, antique, and hard to find parts. i'd really like to fix this one instead of buying a new pull behind spreader. thanks, travis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,844 #5 Posted April 22, 2011 I got one of those bad boys. Thing is an animal. Bought it for $25. Small crack in the adjustment dial. A couple of tiny rust holes. Tires hold air. I will always remember it for being the last thing my C 160 was pulling before the hydro went out! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never seen one of those, show the gearbox if ya can and I'll print it to see if my brother can make gears for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
