Premature
wear on auger
tubes.
Auger being run at low capacity
or empty for extended period of
time.
Frequently occurs on farms using grain wagons.
Auger should not be left unattended when filling
bins. Depending on application, a belt conveyor
may be more appropriate.
Bent flighting.
Flighting allowed to wear
beyond normal point of replace-
ment.
When flighting becomes razor-thin at intake,
replacement is critical. Since flight material is
double thickness at welded lap joints, high spots
on flight occur and can accelerate spot tube
wear.
Hydraulic lift
settles out
over time.
Shut off ball valve open.
Oil is leaking through tractor valve. Auger ball
valve should be closed whenever set up at bin.
Shut off ball valve leaking.
Disconnect hose from tractor and check for
leakage.
Lift cylinder cup seal leaking.
Observe if oil leaks from cylinder rod wiper seal
(may not be visible on dual action cylinders).
Remove and replace cup seal.
