I have a tow behind broadcast spreader that I'm trying to get working again. There's three parts to the assembly that's fouled up, the gear to the spreader plate, an axle-driven gear wheel that turns the gear to the spreader plate, and the cover.
The gear wheel assembly should move freely in relation to the cover, but does not. My question is this: Is the gear wheel likely to use a press fit or a screw fit to tie the gear wheel to the cover?
This is the spreader in question.
