Rudolph, WI | We have one that came with a Badger silo unloader about 30 years ago. I have always seen them mounted with the input shaft horizontal (shaft on bottom). This would keep oil covering where the gears come in contact and allow someone to use the hand crank in the easiest position while standing next to it. Couldn't find a way to drain the gear oil (I suppose you could just take the cover off too), so I tapped a hole in the bottom because after several years of condensation it would sometimes freeze during extreme cold of winter. We use a 3/4 horsepower drill to lift the unloader. | |
