 Fertilizer spreader   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
A pivotal support leg is connected to the control apparatus and the hopper, so that when the support leg supports the hopper, the leg is pivoted to operate the control apparatus to position the gate in an attitude for interrupting the flow of material through the discharge aperture.
An injection molded plastic scale is movably mounted in the housing and is cooperative with the indicator to indicate the position of the gate relative to the discharge aperture.
In view of the fact that all of the parts of the fertilizer spreader are made of plastic, except for the rod and the connector, the fertilizer spreader is not subject to corrosion.

I leave the whole tripod assembled (wedge, tripod, and spreader) - if you attach the support to the spreader correctly, the whole assembly can rest on its side (when folded) without putting much weight on any of the spreader arms - it rests flat on one side of the wedge.
Attach to the spreader with a 1/4" bolt, nut, and lock washers.
Rotate until the legs will rest in their support indentations when the tripod is folded, then tighten into place.

The larger hose clamp was used to affix the long bracket to the main tripod leg casting while the 50mm smaller unit was used to clamp the adjustment plate to the lower section of the tripod leg.
The smaller of the two brackets was clamped to the extender leg of the tripod via a 50mm hose clamp after rough leveling, the final adjustment carried out by adjusting the nuts while observing the digital bubble level.

 Astromart Reviews - Comparing The CI-700 and G-11 Tripods
The G-11 tripod holds its legs on with large clamps that are quick and easy to use--but one more set of parts to carry in the field.
The leg spreader would seem to add some stability--perhaps necessary for astrophotography--but with a light load, if portability were an issue, I suspect that you could dispense with it.
This spreader is made of plastic, and is held in place by a long screw that threads into the top of the tripod.

The gallery and outer wick tube, plus the disk on top of the flame spreader leg is missing from your example, and I have strong doubts about whether you will ever find the parts, partly because there appear to be several versions/generatoions of the burner.
The flame spreader disk acts as an extinguisher when the knurled cylinder (center) part of the adjustment mechanism is turned counter clockwise.
The outer part of the adjuster raises and lowers the wick, and the amount of travel is controlled by locking the flat key near the base of the burner.

 Vixen Custom D Alt-Az Mount - Review
Whilst I still wished that the tripod could be collapsed still further, and that it had come with a proper soft-case, I had to admit that already it had passed the portability test with flying colours.
Leg extension is definitely a factor, and when the legs are fully extended, the settle-down time is closer to two seconds at 213x.
Lastly, and my hands are shaking as I type this, I nearly had one of those accidents that amateur astronomers have nightmares about: reaching blindly for the azimuth fine-motion control, I inadvertently grasped the safety knob that clasps the OTA mounting plate firmly in the mount recess.

 Improving the Celestron CG-5 Mount - How To
I decided to not even try to improve this by filling the legs with sand, plastic peanuts, wet newspapers, modeling clay, insulating foam, small animals, or any of the other myriad of substances frustrated owners of this mount have employed in mostly unsuccessful attempts to dampen the resonance.
I then approximated the correct position of the leg spreader / tray assembly to the wood tripod legs, leveled everything fore and aft, and marked the legs.
So, the height of the tripod legs must be adjusted to level the RA axis.

I did notice that without the spreaders the legs will fold up somewhat when the tripod is picked up.
So, you have to be careful when you set the tripod back down again as the legs may not be in the correct positions.
After the first star was selected, I realized that I should have extended the tripod legs to their full height so that I wouldn't be hunched over the eyepiece (I left my observing chair inside).
