CV PTO fail-
ure.
Try to determine the operation and maintenance habits of the owner in order
to avoid multiple repairs and unnecessary frustration.
Broken CV ball.
Most frequently occurs when PTO driveline is
not disconnected during transport or setup of
the auger. Remind all operators to disconnect
PTO driveline except when at the bin, in opera-
tion.
Excessive PTO angle.
Check Assembly section for correct dimensions
(auger input and tractor PTO output). It may be
necessary to raise tractor drawbar to maintain
correct dimensions. Extreme side-to-side
angles that are necessary because of the bin
and tractor placement may be corrected with a
right angle drive kit.
Early series cross-link or non-
Westfield part used. Ensure new “E” series cross links and genuine
Westfield replacement parts are used.
Telescoping part of PTO shaft
bottoming out. Pull out or lengthen tractor drawbar to maintain
minimum clearance. Refer to Assembly section.
Bearings not receiving adequate
grease.
Check Maintenance section—CV PTO drive-
lines should be greased as part of daily mainte-
nance procedures.
Premature
gearbox fail-
ure.
While all MK gearboxes come from the factory filled with oil, it should be part
of the setup procedure to double check that a half full level is maintained.
Failed seal.
Check gearbox levels on a regular basis and
only fill with EP90 oil.
1000 rpm tractor input being
used.
Use 540 rpm tractor or install speed reducer.
Angle drive
fails or runs
hot.
Angle drives require 2–3 loads to break in properly. It is normal for the angle
drive to run warm to the touch during operation.
Bearings not receiving adequate
grease. Grease frequently, especially during break-in
period.
Misaligned angle drive.
Adjust by shimming angle drive until flighting
turns freely by hand. See Assembly section for
details.
Swing tube flight stub bent.
Check for straightness of flight stubs by rolling
across flat concrete section. Straighten stub or
replace as necessary. Maintain correct angle
when re-connecting hopper and swing tube.
