Thank you sooooo much!!!! I would not have been able to assemble my spreader if you had not put this video out. Key point for me was how slow and thorough you explained everything! I am a subscriber now.
I just bought one today but fortunately the Site One employee put it together for me along with the deflector. I have an Earthway spreader and the opener part is plastic so it flexes when trying to open and close; it started having issues opening the chutes because of the plastic connection and flex. I finally had enough this past weekend when I was doing lots of yard work (de thatching, overseeding and fertilizing) and bought the Lesco 50 today. The chute opener on the 50 is metal and should not have that flex like the opener on the Earthway.
I got one at Lowes on clearance for $54. It was missing direction, nuts and bolts, rod for the shut-off. I was able to fabricate a new one using cable with turn-buckle for adjustment.
I couldn’t find a clear cut and dry assembly video for these spreaders. So thought this would help at least one person, it would be worth it. When I got my first one last month, it was missing pieces. So it was harder than it needed to be lol
You can buy a deflector From Lesco. I just start my throws to where I know it’s throwing the product 3-4 feet out to the right and go from there. I’ve never really been one to use deflectors
Great video and HUGE help. Question, why is that at 9:52 the welds on the cross bar on the under side as you warned us of, but at 13:45 the welds are on top? I had to keep coming back to the video while I was assembling, the make sure I was not losing my mind. LOL Thank you again for posting this. The instructions that came with the spreader suck hind t!t?
Because I was stupid and I did exactly what not to do. So in the second segment, it was on the correct way. I’m glad the video has helped. Because yes. The instructions were trash lol
@@lawnguy I have always used a drop spreader (2000sf lawn) but could not pass up this spreader. I knew no one in Albuquerque would spend $300 for this spreader so when Lowe’s marked it down to $59, I jumped on it. Really, bought the damn thing on general principle and this video helped keep the cuss words to a minimum while assembling.
@@FXMAN66 I got mine from Lowes on clearance for $54 It was missing directions, nuts and bolts, and the linkage that attaches to the handle for the shut-off. Moloch's lawn suggested I contact the manufacture and I will give that a try. Like you, I am not sure that I would have paid the full price. I was thinking it was just this Particular Lowes store that had marked it down,

Thanks, this helped me to not read instructions. Nice job
You’re welcome. Because the instructions for this thing was garbage. They wouldn’t have helped lol
Thank you very much!!! Saved me some time.
You’re very welcome. Happy it has helped you out.
Don’t forget you may need to add air to the tires.
Lifesaver, thank you.
Yep, it helped us today!
Awesome!! I’m happy the video made your life a little easier.
One thing I failed to mention in the video. You may need to add air to your tires. I noticed that most out of the box don’t have much air in them.

Contact the manufacturer. They’ll send you all the parts you need for free
@@lawnguy Great idea. I will give that a try. I was happy to get it a such a good price. Thank you.
Believe it or not people struggle Putin spreaders together good work my man

how do you handle not having a side deflector? I'm wanting this model, but hesitant. thanks!

I could be wrong, but I don’t think the side deflector works with the 50 pound model
@@jameyhaz yeah I’m honestly not too sure. But I could’ve swore I saw the option to add one on their website. But, I could be wrong
