Tank Fill "Tube Liner"

Tank Fill "Tube Liner" COMBINES Accessories 33-6-16 The tank fill tubes on Deere combine models sometimes rust or wear out. Replacing the entire tube or repairing it can cost a lot of money. A new tank fill tube liner made from poly solves the problem at a fraction of the cost. The Poly Tech replacement tube liner provides a slippery surface to keep grain feeding through the tube faster. The one-piece poly liner is 1/8 in. thick and bolts on inside the original fill tube. It comes in a kit that includes all mounting hardware. "It installs quickly and easily, and is adjustable to accommodate worn or misshaped tubes. It takes only about an hour to install," says Jimmy Rabitsch, Poly Tech Industries, Monticello, Ga. The liner bolts onto the fill tube on a bearing that carries the top side of the auger. It comes with a stainless steel H-channel with shims that expands the liner until it's tight against the tube. The poly tube liner kit fits most Deere combine models. The company also plans to make kits for other combine brands. It's testing the same idea on unloading augers and grain carts. Sells for $199 plus S&H. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Poly Tech Industries, P.O. Box 349, Monticello, Ga. 31064 (ph 800 542-7659; polytech@polyskid.com; www.polyskid.com).
