Had the same problem with our l2's and 83 N7. Extended tubes and auger by 3 feet. On the N7, we put a cable from 2_3rd's along the tube to a reinforced area near the top and back of the grain tank. The cable came tight on full extension of the auger and took the load of the extended auger. Never had any mechanical problems or metal fatigue around the elbow with this setup but occasionaly the auger would not lift if it was stowed while still full of grain.
