Auger System
General
The 850 grain cart consists of a 17" diameter RH auger flighting mounted on a 5" tube. The auger
housing is an 18" diameter tube. All carts employ a hydraulic folding auger. Therefore, each cart
has a bottom auger and a top auger. The auger is driven by either a PTO or hydraulic motor and
can easily be interchanged.

Flighting Wear
Auger flighting wears with use and will need replacing. The auger flighting when new is 5 3/4" wide
(18" system). When the flighting has worn ½", it needs repairing. The augers will wear more at the
feed end (bottom end). Therefore, it usually is necessary to replace only 2 feet of flighting on the
feed ends of the augers the first time they are repaired. When they wear the second time, the
whole auger will normally need re-flighting. The augers are balanced at the factory and MUST be
balanced by a qualified technician when re-flighted. Failure to do so can cause bearing damage
and unsatisfactory operation.
Auger Removal
To remove either auger, the top auger must be in the transport position (resting in the transport
saddle). The bottom auger is removed by first unbolting the hanger bearing, then sliding the auger
upward and out of the housing tube. The bottom auger is NOT attached in any way and should
easily lift out of the cart. To remove the top auger, first remove the bolt in the center of the top
shaft. Remove the retaining washer on the top of the auger. The top auger should then slide
downward and out of the housing tube. The cart is equipped with a single top auger spring for
correct engaging pressure.
Auger Installation
All augers must be in the transport position with the top auger resting in the transport saddle in
order to be installed.
