gearbox, refer to the speed reducer kit instructions.
See Figure 3.32 and 3.33.
1. Attach electric motor mount to gearbox
with bolts and lockwashers (see Figure
3.32 and Table 3.31. for horsepower
requirements).
All 26’ and 31’ augers (except the 10” x 31’
auger) require the motor mount to be
positioned toward the intake end of the
gearbox.

supports with 7/16” x 1" bolts and
locknuts.

mount with two 7/16” x 1" bolts and
locknuts.
