I'm putting up a used bin and just now remembered that the center well is missing. I have 12 1/2" tall floor supports. None of my local dealers have anything on hand and their suppliers are on backorder. The only one I can find online to ship looks like it will stick 6" above my floor. Any tips on where to find one, or do I just spend some time in the shop and make one?
If you want it in a timely fashion it probably is time to make it. Not hard to do. I made the hopper pictured by welding the hopper material to an 8" auger tube and then cutting the tube section out of the hopper. This prevented the tube from warping and leaves a nice clean round bottom for the auger to clean out. Would not be hard to modify to have a sliding shutoff.
