Expert Maintenance Review
The cross auger hex bush is a primary wear point that transmits high torque through the cross auger system. Over time, the internal hex profile becomes rounded due to abrasion and constant vibration, leading to slippage and drive failure. We recommend inspecting the hex bush for "slop" or backlash during every preventative maintenance check.
Upgrading to this high-strength weld-in kit is a high-performance choice. The inclusion of a hardened, greaseable bush significantly extends the service life of the drive junction. By making the bush a bolt-in component,Future maintenance becomes a simple task, ensuring your cross auger stays in top condition without the need for repetitive welding repairs.
Installation Tip: Precision Cutting
To ensure a reinforced and perfectly aligned repair, cut the existing auger tube back exactly 315mm. Ensure the cut is square to the tube axis. Because the C&M tube is stepped, it will slide into the original housing for a strong weld joint. Always verify the alignment of the 1" hex shaft before final welding to ensure a smooth extended wear drive operation.
