West Dual Spreader Rotor

[Beefman75]

Hello,

I need to replace the rotor on a West Dual Spreader as it didn't like trying to spread a piece of concrete!
West have them in stock, but does anyone know if anyone else fabricates them?

There was a firm in Lancashire. Blackburn I think. Had blacksmith in their name. used to advertise on eBay selling reconditioned west rotors.
Send your old one in on service/exchange.

Or a decent engineers would refurb it for you

Whats wrong with it? Unless the shaft is bent then it's probably fixable.

Legs can be bought individually from any west dealer and are normally in stock and can easily be replaced but there are wide an narrow legs. Rotors are around £1200 as had a new one last year but it's wise to change the bearings as well because your looking at them and will probably damage taking them off the old rotor.

Can't seem to find to find anyone of that description, as a refurb would be ideal.

Most of the legs are so thin and rusty they cant be repaired and at £30 a leg to replace 26 it seems more sense to buy a new rotor than spend all that time cutting and welding.

Halse of Honiton will send a rotor any where and will be very keen to deal. But you have to talk to sales rather than parts for some odd reason as they sell rotors!!!!

New on will be in full balance as well. Saves shaking your machine to bits!!!!!

If repairing forget buying the new West bits, just use channel cut to length

 

[inagrimix]

think Gregsons refurb them or maybe get you a new rotor

West rotor are hardly precision made and nowhere near fully balanced

+1 repaired a rotor for a customer years ago using Chanel it outlived the spreader and went into another machine eventually

Remember local big contractor got fed up of spreading concrete blocks with his west spreaders years ago he cut all the legs off and replaced them with rotor spreader chains seemed to work well and could cope with foreign objects

I known of one with lorry springs instead of tips welded inside the channels. Must be balanced to a point cause with my old rotor you would wear your coffee!!!!!
