Finished my spreader

[Uncle Levi]

I bought this (about) 1940's Oliver spreader for $25, used it a couple times until it trashed a tire, then it sat in the weeds for 8 years. This spring, I decided to drag it up to the shop and fix it up enough to use in my garden.

Looks very nice. How much did you spend?

Hi Eddie. It cost me $30 for paint, $60 apiece for new tires and tubes. I had to do some welding to get it mechanically up to snuff and some woodwork, but that was with materials on hand. About $100 to restore I guess---and lots of hours. It was in bad shape.
