Thanks guys.

I'll be using a motor and gearbox from a cordless drill to run the spreader. When I first built the spreader, I mounted the motor underneath. That was a mistake though because the salt draws moisture and it ran down inside the gearbox and rusted the gears together. This time the motor will be on the top. I also have a rheostat I'll be wiring to the motor to control the speed of the spreader wheel. The motor I had before was too slow with the gearbox in low range and too fast in high range.
