On this note, can someone tell me which way the links should face and the same for the cross bars.

Does the "L" face toward the back or front of the spreader

Thanks

The upright of the angle iron slat goes toward the back.

A come-a-long works best for pulling the spreader chain back together so you can get enough slack in it to drive the chain links back together. Hope this helps.

On our big spreader, we have to take the chain off the front slides (or idler sprokets if yours has those instead), then once it is together, loosen the slides to the position with the most slack, then using a couple of crow bars, slowly pry the chaing up from the bottom a little bite at a time. What you are doing here is taking the slack from the bottom where it droops. Another way to fix it is to use one of those tie down things that the big truckers use to tighten their chains (I cant think of the name right now)and wrap a chain around 2 bars close to the chain on the side you want to pull together (so you don't bend or break the bar) and tighten until you can fix it. Good luck and let me know if you have any more problems or questions.

On a side note here..... .how much tension should the feed chain have. I just got done getting my auction special fixed. Bought with broken chain links and bent bars. Chain guides underneath had been installed wrong, and it was breaking links every time it was used. It works good now, ran about 60 loads through it the other day, but I never had one before so I am ignorant. I have it tensioned so the chain has about an inch of movement at the bottom end of the drive sprocket to the lower frame.

Well, I am definatively no expert on that. Our spreader, which is about 18 ft long, does not have any supports that work underneath of it now and I have run about 20 loads through it without breaking a chain. It is more vulnerable to snagging and breaking though when it hangs that low. I hope to get some made up before I head back to school though. I would think that you should have one in about the middle of your spreader, or if it is over 15 ft long, 2 that are evenly spaced is how ours were originally set up. Good luck
