If I can figure out rockpickers picture posting procedure (say that one real fast a couple of times)I will put up some. I weld the rod on the outside edge of the flighting, where the excess corn rolls over, on the side that the corn rubs against. This is where most of the wear takes place. I weld a continuous bead, wire welder is easiest, but I don't own one, so 7014 works easy. I just did all the augers in my 9500. The cross augers were down a little, but I used them, the vertical unloader and the fountain were junk so I tossed them and put on new. It did not warp anything either. I did this on my old 6620 and the fountain, unloader had been on there almost ten years and still looked like they would go that much more. (8-900 acres_yr). When you have your unloader out of the grain tank, put a slab of uhmw poly under the front cross auger where the paddle goes around. This will stop a hole from cutting through. Wouldn't hurt to do the back side just on general principals. I also put stainless liners under the tank cross augers. Clean and paint this really well before you cover it up and it won't ever rust through or wear out. Now the bearings will eventually go out, but you will probably not ever have to take these things out again. I intend on running this thing till I croak, so this makes sense to me. Need more infoIJ I like to talk about this so just ask.. GS
