I'm trying to repair a New Idea Manure Spreader--It has a broken spreader chain (2 Places). One ID plate on the front right of spreader has model 212, Lot 577, serial# 150469. There is another ID plate on the rear right side that says model 217, lot 576, serial# 154360.

Anyone out there have any ideas and/or advice on repair of unit.

Thanks Much Peter

The chain size is 67H maybe 67XH New Idea is one of the few companies that used 3/8 rivets in the bars, Most others used 5/16
212 is the box size and is what you need to know if you inquire about it. 217 is the beater unit model. At the time it was buit New Idea made 3 beater units, the single beater, the triple beater traditional, and the flail unit. I can't remember the numbers anymore. That was over 30 years ago.

Chain is definitely a standard item, not brand specific. Take some links with you to your nearest Tractor Supply or other farm equipment dealer, and match it up with what they have in stock.

Replacing just the broken/missing links with new is not advisable, though... It's best to put a whole new apron chain in, especially if you're going to use the spreader at all. Won't be cheap, but it'll pay for itself in time saved repairing the worn out chain over and over and over, and possibly in shoveling large quantities of manure by hand. Measure the length of the spreader apron and take both the regular link and a cross bar with you to the dealer.

Wouldn't hurt to lube up all the bearings, then replace all belts and roller chains, too.

Most spreaders I have had ( New Holland, Oliver & John Deere) used a #67 link that you can purchase at TSC, Agri Supply or a tractor dealer. Unless you got the chain hung up on something and broke the links, you probably should get a few extra. I have found that once the chain gets worn and weak, link replacement becomes an all too common occurance. When replacing links, be sure you have the same number of links on both sides when you put everything back together or the apron gets out of time and you will end up bending an apron bar around either the front of rear apron axle. Disassembly to repair in this instance is time consuming and frustrating unless you cut the apron bar into with a grinder.
