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.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
