Rusty Kuhn spinner

[rs1]

What’s the best way to sort rust out on a spinner? Shot blast and re powder coat must be the best way, has anyone done this?

Change the spinner and buy a power washer and use it

Do you play anything?

Depends how bad the rust is?
Probably better painting the frame many many times and if the hopper needs re-sheeting use galvanize cut to shape.
The 8x4 flat sheets are good value but try and seal / kill the rust first.

Thanks, for the useful advice. I was considering buying it. I know the machine it’s had an easy life, just starting to show signs of rust.

Did an Amazon years ago, had it shot blast, painted by hand with hammerite and renewed a few worn parts, bodywork still like new but gearboxes getting a bit sloppy now.

You’d be lucky to find a Kuhn more than a couple of years oldthat didn’t have a bit or rust, or hadn’t been treated/painted. The paint they use on them is shocking, regardless of how diligently you wash it off after every use.

As above, sand it back, primer/red oxide, then paint with Kuhn orange paint. It’ll be grand for years.

The spreaders are simple & reliable, it’s just the paintwork that lets them down. If it’s cheap & had a old home, get it bought.
