Subject: 4" transfer auger stuck


Any ideas on how to unstick it? Motor is turning.

Was used last week to transfer hot dry corn to a cooling bin. Spent the last couple of days of last week emptying the air bins and fired it back up today to find the auger jammed pretty tight...although you can move it with a big pipe wrench. The idea of emptying a 40' transfer auger a 1/4 turn at a time with a pipe wrench is not terribly appetizing.

Did rain this weekend. Is it the rain? Corn left in it and swell? Auger/bearing failure? It is a new system and has only run off and on for a week.
