IH 200 manure spreader floor

farmallboy15 · Jul 21, 2010

another manure spreader question. the floor in mine is rotted out and i am trtying to remove it. i got the two edge pieces that were bolted in. the rest are riveted. the side panels are also partially rivetted. how have any of you removed these? i am thinking of cutting the boards at the supports and taking a recipericating saw and slicing the rivetts and pounding them out. i tried to grind the end off of them and that just takes forever. thanks

On my 100 spreader, I ground the ends off the rivets and then used a punch to drive them out. With a good 4 inch angle grinder, it only takes a few seconds to grind off each rivet so it can be driven out. As to the rotted floor and the rivets there, I used an angle grinder with a thin cutting wheel to cut them and then drive out. A reciprocating saw would work too I think. When you go to cut new boards for the floor, be aware that the body of the spreader is wider at the rear by about 1 inch and the edge boards need to be tapered to compensate for that. The body is wider at the rear so the manure can be easily pushed to the rear by the drag chains. I replaced the floor and the metal sides in my 100 spreader.
