Combines Dual spreader conversion for N series

We bought a used N6 last year that has two spreaders. It has the original 2 paddle spreader right below the straw discharge and a much larger wheel with four paddles just about centered on the combine. The large spreader has a hydraulic motor that drives it and a belt that drives the smaller spreader off the larger one. There is a pump that is driven off a shaft extended off the accelerator rolls on the left side of the combine so that as soon as the separator starts the spreaders start. It works very well. With our 20 ft. bean head, it even throws a little straw into the unthresed beans on the right side of the combine.

I haven't seen a spreader setup like you described. Is it a manufactured spreader (if so, what brand) or homemadeIJ Do you have a picture you could load for viewingIJ I am currently trying to improve the spread on my N6. Gamaman

I will take some pictures. E-mail me and I will send them to you. I have tried to find out where it came from and have had no luck. I think it is manufactured. If not, it was an extremely good job of construction.
