IH-100 spreader pawls

BearGap · Jan 11, 2015

I have an IH-100 manure spreader that we use with our 1950 Cub to handle barn manure from our farm. Over several very cold winters, when trying to spread what was a in effect a block of ice, the 2 pawls that drive the big gear that pulls the chain across the bed (See the uploaded diagram with the parts circled in red) have become mangled badly. We can only manage to spread at a rate about half the slowest rate it originally did, and any higher selections result in the chain not moving. Does anyone know where replacements (new or used) can be found?

I looked in my pre 1940 IH equipment book an that spreader must have been built after that. I take it you have checked with case-IH an not available so next thing is make those dogs as they were pretty crude so could be made on farm or machine shop. If you fix it my suggestion is to lay a clean layer of straw on the chain & move it with a bar or tool making sure it's not froze down when you go to spread. If you abuse this it could break that gear then you have scrap iron. Good luck GENE

still available

Well, yes they do appear to be available, if I am looking at the right number, but at $204/ea (Messicks) I think I better find them somewhere else!

We used a #100 for many years on our poultry farm. It was a great little spreader and my brother still uses it. But you do learn to wedge some 2x2's under the chain if it's going to set out in freezing weather. Makes getting started in the morning a lot smoother.

I have a couple 100 parts spreaders. I will look at those parts and try to get back to you.
