Accessing used farm equipment is not as easy at it seams it should be , sometimes I miss stuff I should have noticed . You did a good job of showing how to look over an auction find , thanks
That truck is in pretty good shape for a manure spreader.If all you have to do is replace that chain and find that air leak that will be able to haul a lot of the cow excrement if the ground is dry enough when you want to spread manure.
I am a new subscriber. I live in Pennsylvania USA. I am 63 & a retired 15 employee machine shop owner. I grew up around farms & also worked as a farm hand from 10 to 16 years old, is where my love for equipment, tractors, trucks, and such comes from. If you get those plates in the back of the spreader furnished via a machine shop they can still use mild steel to fabricate them and they can be sent out and "Case Hardened" that is most cost effective in my opinion. A weld shop can probably burn those plate good enough from hot rolled steel to do the job saving you expensive machining, and they can still be Case Hardened. Since I'm new to your operation this question may be silly, but why use something like a truck with a lot of maintenance associated with it, when a spreader trailer will do the job? I pulled a manure spreader often when we cleaned the cow troughs, and even the sweeper chain or conveyor ran off the wheels and power take-off so there was no need for hydraulics and it did a fine job and I was able to pull it with any tractor there that had a power-take-off from a old john deere 60 to a smaller 3000 series based on today's tractor sizes.
Pete_ Hine_Of_PA what part of Pennsylvania do you live in we have a farm here in Elizabethtown Pennsylvania. you can check out The Farming Life if you want. have a great evening talk to you later
I surmise that makes maintaining a truck worth while when you have a lot to do. Where I worked we only had 150 head which equaled about one evening per 24 hours of spreading perhaps two or three loads. Our spreader wasn't any bigger than a standard hay wagon and not quite as wide. I surmise you might spread powered fertilizer too? I"ll keep watching as time goes by and I think a lot of my questions will get answered. Be advised I'm not here to bust your hump, I am merely inquisitive and will add suggestions if I can. I appreciate the people that take the time to make videos for my enjoyment and learning. Thanks for your reply to my question, and I do think you made a good by on that old truck. I love old trucks, and cat powered is icing on the cake..

As a kid growing up for 19 years, I live in rural Spring City, where there were farms in every direction of the compass. I often worked on the farms after school and during summer break. I plowed, spread manure, cut sorghum, bedded cows, helped milk (automatic) balled hay / straw, drove truck, tractor, you name it I did it, lol. Since it was part time, I found it fun, especially if driving one of the trucks or tractors was involved. I now live on 3/4 acre of semi wooded land, and being retired, I enjoy maintaining it, messing with my cars, wood working and going fishing. I Hoped I answered your question, and I hope you also had a nice weekend.
That's cool, I like things built to last. If they sold those in the uk they would sell like hot cakes as they look a very handy machine. Hope it goes well for you👍
Wow that looks neat. I can't wait to see the shit flying either; do you get those stuck alot though? Also, would you consider lining up all your straight trucks and running us through them? Thanks
I ran a Mack with super singles on the drives and it wouldn't go anywhere without getting stuck or spinning up. The guys with regular duals would just pass me by and keep on going in the same road. I would've never thought it but they're useless on the drives. Hope that helps.
Yes, Northern Farmer, you are correct! I thought given your wet ground they would be helpful. It is easy for me to suggest things like that because I do not have to pay for them. LOL
Another good video I think I'm addicted to Northern Farmer and OLF, as soon as I get up at 3:30 or 4 in the morning I look to see if there's anything new posted. Is there a support group for this
Travis and Ryan prefer straight trucks, and they'll eventually have to replace that spreader they use. I say keep it in good condition and hope for a cross-border sale at some point.
This might be a dumb question but I'm a fairly new subscriber and was just wondering is shaun family or a friend or just a hired hand? And I've heard you talk about your brother Rory but I wasn't sure about Shaun
I see it has a little bit of Cancer/ Rust in the doors. Check the Floor panels to. You can get some Brushable Undercoating from JC Whitney. It is alot like the old undercoating/ Chip protection.
That is a nice setup man I really do like it you can throw a lot of shit with that big bad boy lol sounds real good got that big boy motor underneath the hood

my cat d350 truck has a cat 3306 in it. does your truck have a transmission break ( retarder?). on my truck it's loosing air as well when it's shut off for a few minutes, so I gotta wait for it to biuld air pressure, but your engine is leaking air where mine is.
it's to wet to run them itta bitty tires out in the field to spread them several yrs worth of manure u have stock piled waiting on the stock shares to rise-lol.lol. oh-man-u sure love them auctions. huh, well-so do i. my wife just hates em, for the stuff i have dragged home over the yrs. well so when am i or us-going to see it in action. this fall-i presume ? lol.

good score for Sean I love these old L9000s check your valve in the compressor and hoses prolly a dry seal sucking air it will be a good truck😄❤
Thanks Kyle... I will look into that valve
Love that Ford LTS 9000! Best heavy duty truck with the set back front axle.
It seems heavy duty
Ol fords were good. Nice box on it. And you never know when stuff comes from Ritchie Bros
FOr me not seeing it before buying it... knock on wood... seems to be ok
That truck is in pretty good shape for a manure spreader.If all you have to do is replace that chain and find that air leak that will be able to haul a lot of the cow excrement if the ground is dry enough when you want to spread manure.
Well its better then my other truck.. but who cares... they are cheap poop flingers... as long as they work Im happy

Pete_ Hine_Of_PA For speed! With my other truck I can be back and loaded and back out a half mile before the tractor is even back from the first load.

Pete_ Hine_Of_PA thanks for the response hope you have a great day
good luck with the new spreader thanks for showing
Your welcome
That's cool, I like things built to last. If they sold those in the uk they would sell like hot cakes as they look a very handy machine. Hope it goes well for you👍
Thanks
looks like a good find
Will soon see
nice to see the online action worked for you.I know those things are a roll of the dice.
Yup... No matter how many pics there are... you cant see everything
Nice truck, I like those old big Ford trucks
Thanks Jan
Love the sound of the cat always wanted to put a straight pipe on the 3116 cat use to haul coal with
Yea I like these engines way better then any other cat
I've only ever had the 3116 cat in kodiak single axel coal trucks
Wow that looks neat. I can't wait to see the shit flying either; do you get those stuck alot though? Also, would you consider lining up all your straight trucks and running us through them? Thanks
I Could do that maybe
I'm getting the feeling you like them older trucks.
Cause they are cheaper lol
yeah I wouldn't really like going out and spend 100,000 dollars on a spreader that I use twice a year
Im only going to use it in the fall
sounds like an awesome beast work truck
I hope so
That is a lot of truck, the dash is easy to see and a tall cab with good visibility
Tyson with some TLC you will get it up and working. I drove L9000's with the 8 speed tranies and they were a good combo. The engine sounds good too.
Thanks... I cant wait to work on it later on
You should put high flotation tires on the rear axles- then you could use it almost anytime!
There were two truck that had floatation tires on them..but they sold pretty high... but I liked that idea.
I ran a Mack with super singles on the drives and it wouldn't go anywhere without getting stuck or spinning up. The guys with regular duals would just pass me by and keep on going in the same road. I would've never thought it but they're useless on the drives. Hope that helps.
I think Dehaven ment the big floatation tires... like floater tires.
Yes, Northern Farmer, you are correct! I thought given your wet ground they would be helpful. It is easy for me to suggest things like that because I do not have to pay for them. LOL
From the location of the air leak there's a good chance it's one of the compressor fittings
After Planting I will look into it
Best of luck with it man
Thanks
Good luck with your ford
Davjo Ciestanski thanks....keep watching later on when I'll be working on it
Another good video I think I'm addicted to Northern Farmer and OLF, as soon as I get up at 3:30 or 4 in the morning I look to see if there's anything new posted. Is there a support group for this
Haha.... thats funny... Thanks Craig
Travis and Ryan prefer straight trucks, and they'll eventually have to replace that spreader they use. I say keep it in good condition and hope for a cross-border sale at some point.
Lol Maybe
Ol chrome straight pipe sounds good!
You know .. I have to check if there is a muffler underneat the frame now
Jake Ziegler nope she's straight lol
Northern farmer 👍🏻👍🏻thought it sounded to good to have a muffler
Jake Ziegler qq
Make that a single axle tractor and that (nicer condition) was what I just took my class 1 in. lol
This might be a dumb question but I'm a fairly new subscriber and was just wondering is shaun family or a friend or just a hired hand? And I've heard you talk about your brother Rory but I wasn't sure about Shaun
Craig Rasnic hey Craig...Shaun is my nephew...and my brothers name is Laurie lol
I see it has a little bit of Cancer/ Rust in the doors. Check the Floor panels to. You can get some Brushable Undercoating from JC Whitney. It is alot like the old undercoating/ Chip protection.
Yea the doors are metal... the floor panels seem to be ok.. A little bit of tlc this summer and she will look good.
Sweet looking truck
That is a nice setup man I really do like it you can throw a lot of shit with that big bad boy lol sounds real good got that big boy motor underneath the hood
you'll like the single chains cool old truck
I think so to
Looks like a nice spreader.
Thanks David
It has the same engine as my brother in law d6c Good engine
Yup... same as ours to
Motor sounds real good - see how the rest of the parts work - driving it home would have been a good test except for the air leak- for the braking
I ran the rest of it before... I should have done it in the video. YEa Im glad I hauled it home in case something happend to it
I wonder if they used it for stockpiling with the beaters off .
farmrrick they would have just removed the whole beater housing instead it of taking the bearings off
she sounds nice can't wait to see her in action twice year but how long does it takes to clean and spread those lots and barn.
Actually only one a year.... after harvest
I see it has a little bit of Cancer/ Rust in the doors. Check the Floor panels to. You can get some Brushable Undercoating from JC Whitney. It is alot like the old ch
Nice! I hope it's a good rig for ya!
me to
Nice truck man !..
You need a big machine shop and a shed to put all the machines inside
Dont I know it
That would be pretty neat to have...... Been busy im a bit behind on video watching!!
I might have some questions about the trimble auto steer... im putting it together tomorrow
you know how to get ahold of me???
and you will love the auto steer....
Does it have a twin axle drive an what about a diff lock?
Being as tall as that what do you load it with? The 360?
Dan Whiteford it does dan...and diff lock. I will be loading it with my john deere hoe. That's how I load my other spreader truck
Also I noticed on the drive chain on the right rear it looks like someone put the tensioning sprocket on under the chain instead of on top
I will look into it
Craig Rasnic your right....that is odd...
I learned to drive on one of those my old boss still has it has a grain box on it except his is a gasser
We used to have one way back in the 90s for hauling gravel.. was gas to
they are good ole trucks
That's the best !! He should help me pay for it !
lol
K Appreciate it
looks like a tire blew out on it.nice truck.
Yea that might be what happend
Nice hat.
Good buy
Thanks Randy

It runs great
my cat d350 truck has a cat 3306 in it. does your truck have a transmission break ( retarder?). on my truck it's loosing air as well when it's shut off for a few minutes, so I gotta wait for it to biuld air pressure, but your engine is leaking air where mine is.
North east Ohio farmer I don't think so Travis....I haven't even looked where it's coming from yet...been to busy to get ready for planting
The fire department im with had an LT9000 ford as a tanker it had a junk cat motor and blew up sadly never got to drive it
Throw away cat motor i ment
