this one is showing some wear
the chain is tost. it turned sideways and bent.
the auger looks like it's 30years old. thin and sharp in spots.
and the problem child. you can see the plug welds that hold it onto the auger. and it looks like it must of been out a some point, cause the shaft is tack welded to the sprocket. and there all broke.
Im going to price it all out and see what its going to cost to fix it. I'll even price putting new flighting on the auger.
pricing a used auger may be cheaper , but Id call that a few years fix before that one take a dump.
