7. Raise

the

discharge

end of auger with a

front end loader and a strong sling/chain or
block and tackle. The height should be
sufficient to clear undercarriage assembly.

8. Place

undercarriage beneath tube assembly.

9. Position

stabilizer

braces (A) (Figure 3.19) and attach lower reach arms to

bracket on tube with long spacer bushings (1" long), flat washers, and 1" x 3-
1/2” bolts and locknuts.

Tighten securely

. Reach arms pivot on the spacer

bushings.

Important:

Refer to Figure 3.12 for correct placement of lower reach arms.

10. Fasten flat braces (B) to first set of holes (furthest from intake) on stabilizer

braces (A) with one 5/8” x 2" bolt and locknut. Place one 5/8” x



1-1/2” bolt and locknut in other hole of stabilizer brace.

11. Attach the tubing crossbraces to the upper lift arms (Figure 3.19) by slipping

the tube clamps over the flat pressed ends of the lift arms (where they are
attached to the frame) and loosely attaching the tubing crossbraces using
five 1/2” x 1-1/4” bolts and locknuts.

• Use a large c-clamp vise grip to squeeze and hold the tube clamps in

position for attachment of the tubing crossbraces.

• Once in position, tighten these bolts.



The MK130 Plus 81’ auger does not use tube clamps. The attach tabs are
welded onto the upper reach arms.

MK130 Plus 61’/71’

: attach upper lift arms to track shoe. Use a short spacer

bushing (3/4” long) and flat washer on both sides; insert the 1" x 10" bolt and

tighten securely

with locknut (Figure 3.19).

WARNING

Do not remove tube support until the
assembly in this section has been completed.
