mkirsch said: (quoted from post at 12:48:28 10/31/14) When you're talking about a manure spreader, if it's pushing 40 years old and is still in working condition, what "cons" could it possibly have?
One "con" would be an odd apron chain link size. I don't think these spreaders used anything wierd or obsolete, though. Shoup, or a conveyer chain supplier may be able to come up with an apron chain if CIH can't or is too pricey.
Another "con" would be poor to zero parts support. I don't know how well CIH supports parts on these machines anymore. I would guess that most, if not all parts that could/should fail are available from CIH or are in some dealers' bins yet. I do know that there aren't any salvage yards that have rows and rows of retired poo-haulers for parts that I know of.
Another "con": It could have come from the local prison farm, and a con could be hiding on top of a loose apron chain under the box.
Sorry, I couldn't resist listing the last one.
