we have an old david bradley m599 2 wheel spreader which works fine but there is some slack at the ends of the axles and there are also notched rings at the ends of axles which can be adjusted with a pin that goes thru axle. does this slack need taken up? does anyone have a manual for this or have any pertinent info? this is a great little spreader & will replace timber in the future. thanks

Much of the older machinery,such as pull type plows, had such collars. This adjustment is usually not critical but should be kept to a practical minimum. In the event that the highest notch for the pin does not get rid of the end play you may have to add washers (Correctly called machine bushings) between the collar and the hub. This kind of system is not used with any tapered bearing.

Dan it sounds like you have castle nuts holding in thrust bearings. Yes you can take up the slack. You do not want side ways movement in the bearings but you also do not want to torqe them down tight, they still need to turn free. Take the cotter pin out and turn a little at a time and recheck for side slop and make sure you can still spin the wheel. Don't forget to put in the cotter pins to keep the bearings in adjustment. Then repack with grease and re enstall the cap. If you take the slop out and the bearings will not turn replace the bearings.
