The support you are thinking of is made by Stewart Steel in Canada and our distributor is Maurer out of Spencer, Iowa. We have put alot of these on after replacing the outer half of the tube.

Would it be a waist of money to put it on my already buckled outer tubes to keep them from getting worseIJ

Have you tried tightening the truss rod on top of the auger to take some of the weight off of the area that is being damagedIJ CardaleBob

The auger tube buckles outward of where the truss rod attaches. You could go ahead and install the sleeve on a buckled tube. You would not be out anything if it did not help as it is not that difficult to install. Case also came with a wider band that is supposed to help. We have some of them out and keeping an eye on them to see if they do the job.
