jsedelweiss Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Could somebody please help me. I'm after pictures off the back of an old muck spreader because one of the rollers is missing at the bottom and i don't know what it looks like and if i can make one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordguyderrick Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 is it the old red and yellow one with th ebeaters at the back and th ebelt down its length that you need ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Britains made several types of spreaders, could you be more specific as to which you require the bits for please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Britains made several types of spreaders, could you be more specific as to which you require the bits for please? I think there is only one that had a roller at the back, on the bottom though. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 This I am assuming is the rear belt roller on the land-drive spreader with the rubber floor belt. These spreaders were green, red and in the set were a metalic blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 they would all be the same bar colour tim, only difference i know of is the front roller, some are held in with yellow plastic pins from one side, the later ones are the same as the rear, a silver roller ,the workings are all the same,got a red one with the belt missing some where upstairs, will try and get a pic tommorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Yes, took a gander at one of mine. must be one of the later ones as it has the metal rollers. Had a look through my Britains spares and found loads of the yellow plastic parts but alas no rollers. Would not be too difficult to make one from a bit of dowell and drill through and insert a length of brass rod. An original roller would be difficult to fit without seperating the spreader in half lengthways, as they were put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 think from memory the rollers and infact the beaters are 2 part, the ends come off tim ,whether its a beater or roller the gogs driving them come awayalmost like a pin to the inside bits, the chassis is one piece, so thats the only way they can be removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 If it is the floor belt roller, there is or should be one at each end and are plain un-painted diecast which the belt runs around. Well, that's the theory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 as requested theres a matching diecast bar at the other end of the belt to, just i have dropped mine somewhere in the cupboard and cant find it right now, the older versions have a yellow pin through one side at the front to allow fitting,these later ones are just push to one side to remove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsedelweiss Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hi Brilliant, thanks. Arr, i was hoping for it to be a simple round bar but its not what i'm missing. This is (The yellow one): Does anybody have a spare white one in perticular but anything will do. How would i fit it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 white will be hard to find they only did those for the ford blue and deutz green ones, so good luck as for fitting, the cog on the outside of the body pulls off, allowing removal / fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought it would be hard but i think the best bet is to just paint one. Does anybody have a spare? I still have the cog.

powerrabbit Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 You say that yours should be white? My green spreader has all yellow plastic rear end parts and I've got a bag full of beaters and all the other plastic bits. I'll have another look in the bag to see what's there. Just had a look, lots of cogs, a few beaters and a couple of the augers but alas no rollers. All in yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 You've still got the drive cog so it wouldn't be too difficult to improvise a shaft. If you had something that would slide through the pin hole the other side to the cog, such as a cocktail stick cut off each end to length and then had something like the plastick stick/tube from a cotton bud, they are hollow, and cut it to length so it goes over the stick leaving enough the cog end to push the cog pin into and leave enough of the stick protruding from the other end for the hole in the body, it would not have any side to side movement then. The shaft is really only there to support and hold the drive cog in situ it performs no other purpose. Just an idea off the top of my head.
