Bunning muck spreader

[KB6930]

How do you fit new floor slats to a bunning spreader?

Inside the spreader or underneath with the chain tension off?

Underneath, very easy

Thanks that's what I thought but I was wondering if with that bend in the end it was possible to wiggle them in inside the body .

Now just need to get the correct slat .

We got sent this one ut it's not gonna fit

That slat is typical of the sort I have seen, I presume you must have an earlier design of chain that needs different slats. Changing them from underneath was always pretty simple from what I remember but not all spreaders are the same.

What price are the proper slats out of interest? Last time I bent a couple I was in a hurry so went and picked up steel from the local blacksmith and made a few, it’ll be standard enough section sizes...

I do it from inside I find it easier to weld the tabs in the chains like that.

No idea to be honest

We rang them but they've no thick wall box or we would've just got 1 cut .
It's not our spreader just putting it right before it goes back after an unfortunate incident with a stone

It's a mk4 120 if the small box wasn't spot welded in further down I would've just cut it out and the slat would've been fine . I'm assuming the older ones are different. I know the mid 90s ones bolt in

If you’ve access to a decent pillar drill I’d be inclined just to drill the spot weld out then fill the resulting hole with weld ‍♂

Dealer has one at another depot so it'll be swapped tomorrow

Make your own for a fraction of the cost.
