Figured out why slip clutch on clean grain auger slipped - needed a spacer between the flat washer and the backside of the clutch. There was a gap that caused the clutch teeth to barely engage. Easy fix. Best news - she's a corn picking fool. Managed to dial in the spike tooth cylinder to clean the cobs w/barely any cracking. Some cobs had a few kernels left, but very few, and cobs were mostly whole. No complaints at the elevator. Started a 13 acre field at 1 p.m., filled my wagons, then ran each remaining hopper to the house to put in bin. Had gravity wagon sitting over auger so I could dump in it and run it in the bin. Got done just after 6. Dad took pity on me after the first few hoppers and came out of retirement and emptied the wagon after I dumped each time. Thanks for all the good advice. Supposed to rain here Thur., so hoping to work on bean head then.
