Expert Maintenance Review
The cross auger center connection is a high-use area that is often neglected until a universal joint failure. Over time, the hex bearings can develop play, which places undue stress on the universal joint and leads to failure. We recommend inspecting the joint for backlash during every preventative maintenance check.
Using this high-performance repair kit ensures all critical wear components are renewed at once. A fresh hex shaft and new bearings provide a stable drive that prevents the "whipping" motion common in worn auger assemblies. This extended wear solution keeps your feeding system balanced and operating at peak capacity.
Installation Tip: Check Cross Auger Timing
When reassembling the cross auger using the new 174081 hex shaft and 165064 universal joint, ensure the auger flighting is correctly timed to prevent material from bunching in the center. Lubricating the Series 1 U-joint with a high-quality lithium grease during installation will ensure a longer service life and smoother operation.
