The Spreader That Spread No More

The ole John Deere spreader has served many purposes. This piece of equipment holds "special" memories. After Gary and I were married we came home from our honeymoon to pick it up from the farm. Once here it served as the wood wagon for years. With the addition of other wood hauling equipment, Gary thought it would be a good idea to convert it over to a sap wagon.
First step, get the snow and ice out of the back end by any means.


Back to the barn with one side off. After cutting the bolts it was the second side that caused a little more work.
If you can't get at the bolts that you want, flip it upside down on a snow bank. Then climb on top with a pry bar.
Finally the sides are off. Taking them to the grave yard until spring. (Pictures of this post may or may not have been approved at the time of taking. Happy to say the sap tank is on and so far so good. Will post some pictures in action later)
