Old Manure Spreader, new toy today.

[Greg Shipley]

Just could not see this get tore up for the wheels to make flower pot hangers. So it came to my place.
Now, what is it? I think it is a john deere say around 1923? horse drawn manure spreader. Sides are wood, every thing is there and loose except the seat is gone and the foot rest is plywood now.
Any votes?
thanks and thanks harry!

[Bob Fultz]

You got my vote. Now you can paint it, put it in the front yard and have you a flower wagon.

[Andrew Mackey]

Looks like a manure spreader to me How bad does it smell? Several years ago, a friend had one in his front yard as an ornamental display. Somebody stole it! It has never been recovered.

Here is what I made from mine powered by a 5 hp american boy .

Me and my grand kids named it the (POO TRACTOR}

[Greg Shipley]

actually the thing is in tremendous shape, clean too. no Poo!
Like I said, not sure what i am going to do with it, just could not see it junked out.

[Benny Mckheean]

That was the only piece of equipment John Deere made he would not stand behind.Nice find.

Hate to say but I don't think it's a John Deere. I have 4 of them and they don't quite look like this. Was thinking McCormick-Deering until I looked it up in Wendel's IH book. Doesn't look like Oliver either. Maybe Minneapolis-Moline? Look closely at the castings, maybe you can see a trademark. Either way, a very nice looking piece of equipment. Some Amish man would love to have it.

[Jim McCracken]

Saw one at an auction one time, the auctioneer identified it as a
politicians wagon . Some days it seems quite fitting !LOL

The Poo Tractor Was Built From A New Way Spreder

I have heard many times that the Amish will buy this sort of equipment, and pay good money, too. I had one guy claim he sold a mint horse drawn John Deere manure spreader for $1500. He could have been pulling my leg, for all I know.

[Dick Hamilton]

Are you sure it isn't a New Idea. Sure looks familiar like one that I wouldn't stand behind. Quite often NI would have a little brass ID plate. Any how, I'm glad to see you didn't let it go for scrap. I did a number of years ago, a Walter W. Wood. Oh well it is not the only mistake I've made in over 75 years and I hope it's not the last.

the amish are now building a lot of stuff new including mowers and speaders with modern bearings and designs so that the equipment pulls easier and replacement parts are available value to them allthough still good not what it used to be years ago one of best friends dads made good money for years buying up that stuff and hauling north to ohio

[Raymond Collier]

[Dick Hamilton]

Boy you made my day. It is nice to be right once in awhile. I appreciate your comment Ray. Very best from the warming up Finger Lake Region of NY. Dick

[Mike Rohrer]

Maybe you should stand in it and have someone take a picture and post it to the list, so we can see what it looks like full!
JUST KIDDING!
