I got an old IH or McCormick spreader I'd like to restore. It has wood sides and bottom but the wood is in pretty bad shape. There's enough to make a pattern but I'd like to know what kind of wood was used in this type of implement. It appears to be 1" thick on the sides, haven't measured the bottom yet. Thanks for any help.

I used white oak for the bottom and pine for the sides.

I've got a 1950 Ferguson manure spreader that has a good solid floor. The brochure I have for it says they used "Grade A clear matched lumber," (doesn't specify what kind), "creosote treated" not painted, "vacuum impregnated" with "6 to 8 pounds of creosote per cubic foot." Just from looking at it it might be fir or pine wood. It has lasted almost 55 years.

Old Bavid Bradley and New Idea spreaders I've seen the wood was Southern(?) yellow pine.

Yes. Mr. Deere liked to use Southern Yellow Pine in his spreaders and self-unloading silage boxes, too.
