New Idea manure spreader

I bought an old New Idea spreader which is missing three parts. I need triangular plate identical to the one in the picture, a flange and a spacer. You can see where the spacer is attached to the plates. Anyone have those parts or know where I can get them? I live in MN.

Thanks

Just curious - why do you think its a New Idea. For my 2 cents it doesn't look like any New Idea that I've seen. The levers on the front look different and so does the jack. I've never seen one of that age with metal sides. No matter what model or make its a good looking spreader for its age.
 
Looks like a Case to me. Had one that finally fell apart. Can look and see if I still have any parts left.
 
I don't know for sure it's a new idea. There are no model numbers or markings on it since it's so rusted. The person I bought it from was actually on this forum a couple of years ago and the consensus then was that it was a new idea.
 
I have a picture of a Case T6 and it looks very much like what I have. There's a Case dealer not to far away so I'll ask them and see what they say.
 
I was told that this type of curved rafter barn was built by men that came from boat building backgrounds from other countries. A guy showed me a place on the floor of the barn where his great grandfather had made a "jig" with wood blocks nailed down in the shape of an arc. They used 1x4's of different lengths nailing them together like a sandwich to make a curved bowed rafter. Their family was of Dutch heritage.
 
I found a piece of metal and I can get a flange but I could use a picture of exactly how the flange fits on the plate. Do you have a picture of that page in the manual?
