This spreader is the worst product I have ever purchased. From anywhere.
The directions were mis-leading and incomplete.
The unit does not spread correctly after 2/3 rds of the product is dispersed as the agitator is only about 2 inches long--they use a cotter key on the shaft!!
The control is so filmsy that it broke on the first application. To fix it you have to have it so it is no longer adjustable and adjust the thing manually for each spreading operation.
It is ALL plastic even the gears housings.
Do not purchase this product or any of the same companies similar spreaders. You will hate your self if you do!!!

Very Happy with CUB CADET/918-3129A Spindle Assembly 
MowTownUSA provided fast service on this item (Tecumseh & Eager1 engines, used by Sears/Craftsman), at a great value if you order 2-4 at 1 time.
Obviously, the great thing about these belts are the price... it stops there.I installed this belt on my riding mower and probably got 5 uses out of it... my original belt that came on the mower lasted over 5years.So to wrap it up, it is very hard to change these belts and you can risk injury, do it as little as possible by buying an OEM original belt that lasts a long time.
This product assembled without any difficulty.I was impressed that the rivets that were used at the factory(had to drill them out to remove the old part) to attach the original component were replaced by bolts on the replacement making this part easy to put on without any special tooling.
DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. MY DOG TORE IT UP A DAY I WAS GONE. NOW HE IS AT THE VET RECOVERING FROM SURGERY. 1 STOMACH INCISION, AND 3 INTESTINE INCISIONS. DOG TOY:$6,DOG:$250,SURGERY:$2,500= A P/O PET OWNER!
I've used a lower quality wheeled Poulan trimmer VERY extensively for several years. Ended up virtually destroying it through hard use. Purchased the Ariens from Home Depot and found it to be very good quality and apparently much more durable. I am 6' tall and the handle is much too low at longest setting and awkwardly shaped. Other gripe is that this model is difficult to change string because you can not simply tilt the trimmer back onto the handle to raise the string head due to a large head angling handle sticking out at the rear. You have to turn the machine onto its side/wheel. In this orientation, gas and/or oil sometimes (not too often) can leak out. Last gripe is that the cutting height is NOT easily adjustable. You have to get a socket and remove the cutting head, then add or remove bushings, then replace head. Probably a a more durable solution in the long-term though. Otherwise, it's a great functioning machine all things considered. None of the competing models is really any better overall.
