Auger Mounts On Old Combine

Auger Mounts On Old Combine COMBINES Conversions 15-4-10 An old self-propelled combine and a 45-ft. auger makes an ideal mobile grain auger for Gerald Nuttall, Pense, Sask. "I had this old combine with good hydraulics and a rebuilt engine that nobody wanted," he says. Nuttall custom-built a couple brackets to mount his 7-in. Sunkandiak pto-driven grain auger on the 1965 430 Cockshutt combine. He drives the auger off the beater shaft. He mounted a 12-in. dia. pulley on the end of the shaft which drives a belt running to a 12-in. pulley on the auger's pto shaft. Nuttall raises and lowers the front of the auger using the header. The auger telescopes upward on a bottom nylon slide made from 1 1/2-in. poly pipe. The auger is powered by the combine beater drive. An electric winch was installed to raise and lower the top of the auger. "I also added a flexible pipe on the out-put end of the auger for loading trucks evenly without having to move the truck," says Nuttall. "Raising, lowering and moving the auger can all be done right from the combine cab. It works great." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Gerald Nuttall, Box 247, Pense, Sask.
