Does anyone have a builder's listing for Jordan spreaders, i.e., builder number versus purchaser? I've tried working through the company's successor, but no luck to date. Kevinmccabe@avenew.com |

Kevin, Was there one with the article about Jordan spreaders that was in TRAINS something like 20 years ago? Brian Norden bnorden49@earthlink.net |

The article in Trains (June, 1969) does not include a builder's list. Jackson Jordan did (and I assume still does) maintain a file on each machine and was able to supply parts lists and copies of operators manuals for spreaders which I bought second-hand. The Jordan department folks were always helpful and had interesting tales to tell...such as a self-propelled Jordan spreader which would have been grafted to a switch engine frame. The Class I which was interested couldn't get the unions to agree to a reasonable number of people in the cab. dsrc512@sd.value.net |
