S.E. Sask.
Did you notice any unusual sounds on start up? I did yesterday when setting up for the first load. Rattled and sheared off both pins on my Farm King 10x50. I replaced them and could see nothing wrong. Filled the bin ok but could still hear the odd ticking sound from the gearbox on the top of the side auger. Checked it out today and the u joint is wrecked. I had installed the slip joint last winter too low on the shaft. So when it is lifted to bin fill height, the u joint was hitting on the lower spline shaft and knocked the bearings apart in the u joint. Now I know why my shear pins broke. Not sure if it will apply to your Westfield though.
