Assembly - Conventional Auger Mover
Assembly Instructions
Wheel Drive Installation
1. Jack up one end of the auger axle (#24) and remove the wheel and tire assembly.
2. Take one of the wheel drive gears (#84) and place it into the inside of the rim with the gear
facing out. Use a straight edge placed at several positions across the tire to line up the gear.
3. With the gear lined up, fasten it to the rim using four 5/16" x 1/2" socket set screws. These must
be tightened in several stages switching from side to side so the gear stays in position. These
must be securely tightened to prevent the gear from popping out under load. Bolt the rim back
onto the auger.
4. Now take the drive assembly with the hydraulic motor and slide it onto the axle. The
assemblies are left and right. The handle should face the outside of the axle and the drive
gear should be facing down. The hydraulic ports on the motor should face up. It is VERY
IMPORTANT the motor gear is parallel with the wheel drive gear and that both gears contact
along their full length.
5. Tack the hydraulic motor arm (#66) on the drive assembly to the axle. Double check for
alignment and weld solid.
6. Insert two 7/8" MORB x 9/16" MJIC 90° elbows (#7 hydraulic fittings) into the motor ports.
Tighten so ends face center of the axle.
7. Repeat on the other wheel.
8. If the motor gear is not engaged far enough into the wheel drive gear, the bottom of the handle
is slotted for adjustment.
Mover Axle Assembly
1. Be sure to install the grease nipples in the tubes at both ends of the axle assembly before
mounting the tires. Insert the left hand (#11) and the right hand (#12) hub and spindle
assemblies through the tubes at the ends of the axle, check to see that they are turned as
shown in the drawing.
2. The right hand spindle has a coupler (#14) pushed onto the shaft protruding through the
sleeve. It is held in place by a 3/8" x 3/4" set screw and jam nut in the shaft groove.
3. Take the valve mount and steering handle weldment and insert it onto the shaft of the left hand
spindle using a 1/4" x 2" key. Hold in place with a set screw and jam nut in the shaft groove.
4. Mount the wheels and tires on the spindle hubs using the nuts supplied with the hubs. Bolt the
steering tube (#5) to the lever on the right hand spindle (#12) using a 1/2" x 1-1/2" bolt and lock
nut. The other end of the tube has a threaded adjustment rod. Adjust the threaded rod until the
wheels are parallel. Do not over tighten lock nuts because parts must turn freely.
