John, What type of chain is being used on swivelIJ Is it he old n60 chain with connecting links attached to a block toward the top of swivel when auger is in saddle or is it the forklift style chain with 3-bolt adjustment towards top of swivel when auger is in saddleIJ If it is the old style chain I would suggest changing to new style as the n60 connecting link is usually what breaks. Normally you do not need to lubricate the poly style swivel.Wouldn't hurt to put some lube in there to free it up as rust and fines can get into swivel area.Of all the poly style swivels we have installed the poly is a lot stiffer to move and we normally see the swivel set the auger closer to the combine that it will rub sheet metal shield on lH side. The auger has not hit anything prior to putting on the poly swivel has itIJ I have seen where the grain bin portion of the swivel get tweaked if bump bar or auger catches a wagon or grain cart. Hope this helps, Hyper Harvest II
