OK I got a good look at whats going on with my spreader,the sprocket that turns the apron chain has the thing on it(dont know the names of some of these parts)that falls in to the cog and turns the gear seems to need some kind of down pressure on it.When I bought it there was a home made wire putting pressure on it with a small chunk of wood between the wire and the part therefore keeping the part pressured on the gear to turn the chain,now I also notice the same type of part on the backside of the gear with a wire giving down pressure,but this wire looks factory made(bent).I put a larger piece of wood under the homemade wire putting more pressure on it and it seems to be working ok.Now my question is what needs to be replaced,the gear,the piece moving the gear or the wire thing putting the pressure on the part.Also I have no Idea what kind of spreader this is,its in beautiful shape but I cant find a # or anything on it>

Thanks Stan

I think you are talking about the ratchet assembly with two dogs on it, that periodically advances the gear that is mounted on the shaft at the rear of the spreader that pulls the apron toward the beater. Each dog should have a spring attached to it, to hold it in position. One dog is on the arm that ratchets back and forth, moving the gear, while the other dog, forward of the ratchet dog, holds the gear in place so it does not slip back. Oftentimes the dogs wear unevenly, not making full contact with the ratchet gear- and they slip, so the apron does not advance. Grind each dog square and true. Check the gear for chipped teeth- that also allows slippage of the apron drive shaft. Wiring these dogs into place does not work- they need to rise and fall, sliding over the gear tooth and dropping down between the teeth. That is what the springs do.

The wire (or is it flat?) spring.

Post a picture of it, someone will identify it.

Decribe it carefully (color, # & type of beaters, size, wheels, wood or steel, levers/ ropes to run it, gearcase, and on) and you may get there.

On our Minnesota spreader the spring (this one pulled, not spread on the ratchet as yours does) broke, so dad finished the year with a rubber band or 2 on it. You can go to the hardware store and figure something out to make it work. If it is a flat spring, use a tooth from a leaf rake, etc.

The ratchet arm, ratchet gear, & rachet spring is what I would call the 3 parts & not look too dumb at a parts counter, might have diff names as well.

Couple of options that come to my mind.
