JD Model L Spreader Help!

TXZane · Jun 4, 2014

I am currently replacing the wood in a Model L manure spreader. The problem is that there is no existing wood left. So what I need to know is what the corner board looks like where the sides meet the floor for the length of the spreader. I know there is an angled board there but I don't know what it really is supposed to look like, I would like to make it like original. Does anybody have a JD spreader they could share some pictures with me? I really need to see a picture of the end grain of the lumber to see the detail of the corner board. Thanks all for any help.

I can't help you with a picture, but if you hunt around or maybe even find a friendly JD dealer, the parts books usually have exploded diagrams of all the parts.

A quick search for "Deere L spreader" on Ebay shows several operators manuals with parts lists available.

All original yet. Close up of right front interior corner. Hope this helps.

Detail of right rear corner.

Can't get in there very well but the board end is thus: 7/8" thick. Exposed face is 1-1/2" wide. The bottom is square cut but the top is at a 45 degree angle to meet the side board. In the shape of a "right trapezoid".

The parts book shows it as a rectangle but mine is angle cut to meet the sides. They probably stopped doing that later on to save a little work when assembling. Nobody would know the difference if you left it rectangular.

Thanks for the help. I think that's all I need. Now all I have to do is figure out how to remove the axle bearings and where to find a tire.
