Hello hoping I get can some ideas on our spreader. Its a pto drive New Idea 214. Unloaded it will run fine, but even half full the dog that hits the ratchet and advances the apron chain will skip
and break off teeth on the ratchet wheel. A new dog (the pawl) is $132! before I replaced this and the spring that tensions the dog onto the ratchet wheel, is there anything else that can be
causing this? I can move the pto shaft by hand quite easily and do not feel any big resistance in the spreader when I do this.
Any help appreciated.
Best,
Paul
