Combines Timing full finger auger

[Joeman]

GBEN look carefully at the cranks. They have a hexagonal pair of holes. If you could lay a ruler across the center you would see that the straightedge crosses a FlAT side of one of the hexangles on one side, and it intercepts the POINT on the other. In the center of your auger, The point goes on the center shaft, and the flat goes on the crankshaft. It is the opposite of the outer finger shafts.(First thing to go is the memory) It is possible to put one on correctly and the other on wrong, it takes some effort,-of course I did it, how else would I know- but you'll see that soon enogh. Get the M12 self locking flange nut good and tight-it's a grade 10.9, you won't bust it off. You may think it's tight, but give it some more. It takes a lot to make that squeeze. Otherwise the shaft falls out the crank-yeah I found that out the same way. Joeman

THANKS A MIllION. Yeah, the memory is the first thing to go, maybe something else, can't remember. Remembered it was simple, just could not remember that formula. Got it in 5 minutes with your great help and cut more than 150 acres with it today. Good wheat, about 50, maybe more. Thanks again, this forum is a lifesaver again.
