Spreader New Idea Mdl 81 Spreader for spreading lime

[Barneyhunts]

Earlier this year I picked up a New Idea Model 81 spreader to use spreading lime on my food plots. I used it today, for the first time, and it works great. I spread a ton of crushed rock lime on my largest plot, and I'm planning on doing my smaller plots tomorrow. I started late in the day because it was really windy and I waited for it to die down. I'd like to know how folks clean up their equipment after spreading lime. I blow down using my leaf blower, then wash down with water(tractor & spreader) and then oil up the spreader.
It was some nice seat time!

We normally rent the spreader from the outfit that sells us the lime...

The truck body in the second message is similar to our rented lime trailer...
