Gamberini Quad fertilizer spreader

    Hi guys,
    First time posting in this forum - posting this one on behalf of my da. Just wondering if anyone here (who owns a Gamberini quad fertiliser spreader) has had any problems with engaging and disengaging the drive? The lever for engaging/disengaging has become incredibly stiff and hard to turn. You can hear the gears kind of clicking off each other but they won't fully engage.
    We have it for about a year now and it's had little work to do so far.
    Any insight would be appreciated!
    Cheers

    I have the same spreader that we use for spreading calmag dust. The engaging lever gets stuck an odd time with dust in the bearing where the lever enters the gear box. There is usually a rubber cover over it. Remove the cover and clean the bearing. Spray wd40 and grease well afterwards. Also check gearbox for oil. Older models had grease nipples rather than oil.

    Thanks for the reply!
    We got this spreader as a replacement, as the first one we bought had the exact same problem - lever stuck after only a few months. I wonder is it an issue with that particular model?
