I am trying to decide if the auger to the wagon on my New Idea 329 Sheller is worn out. I have had some issues of drive line breakage to the auger and later finding the auger full of wet corn (say 20 %). This is the basis of my question.
My question is: is there a table or design guideline of some form of how tight an auger should be in the tube it is running for a given angle and grain being conveyed? On my Sheller the auger flights have about 7/16" to 1/2" clearance to the tube wall. That is with the auger biased all the way to one side of the auger tube. I have no way of knowing if this clearance is excessive or not. Are there any other factors I am missing?
Other factors that I am aware of is: 1. the tube has a bow in it from end to end, about 2 - 3", and 2. the tube has a somewhat flattened area from wagon hits when going through ditches. The dents were repaired to some extent but there still is an obvious flat area about 3 - 4" wide and 2 - 3 ft long. The tube is about 6" in diameter.
I am looking for some engineering data that guides the design of augers.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
