SE MN | It is probably something with the vertical auger and/or the splines on one or the other side of the elbow gearbox. The auger could have gotten thin flighting and rolled back or the splines on the top of the vertical auger stripped out, same goes for the splines in the long horizontal auger coming off of the elbow gearbox. It could also be the elbow gearbox itself. I would try to inspect as much as possible…after removing grain you can remove the chain and isolate the cross augers from the list…small chance one of them broke or something. Then, remove inspection covers on horizontal auger…see what you can see. Look over the bottom end as well…those bearings go out too or the splines could have let go on the short stub shaft on the bottom. If you do not find anything, you will have to disassemble the end of the long horizontal auger and slide it out enough to get at the elbow and remove it. Then you can see the splines. My guess is either splines on elbow or vertical auger flighting. Either way, if I am right and you have the parts available, I would suggest just redoing it completely as long as it's apart. It seems like when one of those things happen, the rest is not too far away either. Hope this helps. | |
