New Idea 206 Spreader Parts: Main Drive, Conveyor, and Distributor
How do I identify the right replacement part for a New Idea 206 manure spreader?
Identify the 206 assembly that matches the symptom—main drive, feed/conveyor, cylinders, distributor, axle, box, or web apron—then use the 206 parts book callout and replacement listing to verify fit before ordering.
The New Idea 206 is a ground-driven spreader with separate catalog paths for its axle, box, conveyor feed, distributor, feed mechanism, main cylinder, main drive, upper cylinder, and web apron. Naming the assembly first makes a repair search more accurate and prevents ordering a related—but incorrect—part.
Diagnose by what the spreader does
If wheel movement does not reach the working components, begin at the main drive. If the load does not move toward the rear, follow the feed mechanism and conveyor/web path. If the load advances but distribution is poor, inspect the cylinders and distributor. Axle, box, and shield parts are their own groups and should be selected from the 206 listing rather than a generic spreader result.
Use the 206 parts book for original callouts
AGCO publication 986340 covers New Idea 201, 202, 203, 205, 206, 207, 208, and 210 manure spreaders. Use it to locate the original item number, then verify the Cottage Craft Works replacement listing and measurements before placing an order.
