Gleaner M unloading auger problem

I have put the auger in my self though. Tied a piece of twine on the end and lined the shaft up while I pulled the auger to me. Works but a second person is easier.

Good Luck

New balls are available from Agco.

I think steve missed things a little. There is no way to easily rotate the bearing unless you cut off a stud and weld on a new one where there is none.

You could also put on a new pivot. I am putting one on my machine with the nylon bearing. Cost about $430 with shipping from Sloan Express. I' try a link. Don't worry quite so much about the SN break. I am putting one ot these on SN 22861 which is 2000 earlier than they say it will fit Just need to put on a longer chain. Only thing is I am replacing one with the nylon bearing do to failure. New one from Agco is $1300.

Another good idea that I have always done with those augers is to put in a cleanout door for the gap in the pivot. If you haven't when you take this apart you will find some real nasty stuff in there.

I just drilled or cut a 1 inch or bigger hole and bolted on a 3/8 X 2 plate to cover.

If you are about done hook up a couple of cables to the tank and leave the auger out. Just be careful about doors and poles.

• auger pivot

I think the F's used a different setup also. I know Sloan and the likes list a different pivot for F's than they do for all the others.
