Never Rust Fertilizer Auger
A Minnesota farmer "rust-proofed" his 7-in. by 30-ft. fertilizer auger by installing sealing mechanisms over each end that keep air and moisture out of the inside of the auger after each use.Alvin Koller, LeSueur, made the auger seals out of steel plate gasket with pieces of rubber inner tube. At the high end, the sealing mechanism slides for-ward and upward, hand-controlled by a lever from the ground.
Koller says the idea has worked great. After 10 years the auger shows no deterioration.
