1. Remove lower auger. The auger is not pinned or held by any means to the gear box output shaft.
The full weight of the auger rest on the output shaft.
-The recommended method of pulling the auger off the shaft is to remove the 2 bolts from the auger hanger
bushing weldment (this is the bracket at the top of the auger).
-Using a 4x4 post or the like, place one end under the threaded end of the drive dog bolt and pry against the
outer diameter of the auger tubing to lift the auger off the gear box shaft.
Measure your Auger Hanger and cut out the
appropriate amount.
Give yourself an extra 1/4” inch of space on all sides.
2. Cut a section of the liner out for the hanger bushing weldment to be bolted down to the original tube. If this is
not done the auger will be off center in the tube.
3. Place the liner in the tube.
4. Cut or grind the small welds that hold the liner to a small diameter so it can expand to fit the tube.
5. Position the liner approximately a 1/2” inch short of each end.
6. Weld top and bottom ends of the liner to the tube. Weld every 6-8 inches with a 1/2 inch weld.
Check the length of the liner for a good fit, if not tight to the tube press the liner outward and weld. It may
be the best to position the seam of the liner in the 6 o’clock position to be able to weld the seam.
