Subject: Bolt breakage on Morris air tank loading auger.


Manitoba
On my new to me Morris 7300 tank we're having trouble with the bolt that connects the orbital motor to the auger. Dont know what was in there originaly but put in a grade 5 3/8" bolt which only lasted a few loads. Next I put in a grade 8 3/8" bolt. It lasted longer, maybe 400 acres. Next I guess I'll drill it out to 7/16" and try a grade 8 7/16" bolt. Any one else have trouble with this? At first I thought we were going from forward to reverse accidently. The last time I was more observant and it seemed to break when I went from reverse to stopped. The auger seems straight and runs pretty smooth. I guess I will try to move the lever slowly when stopping it. TIA
