Simple Oiler For Chain At Top Of Grain Bin Auger
 ✖  |
William E. Craycraft, Bloomingdale, Ind.: He rigged up a simple oiler for the chain at the top of his grain bin auger. "During the fall harvest season, I am usually in the combine so I'm not back at the bin to keep an eye on things. The result was that often the chain on the unloading auger did not get oiled enough by the help unloading trucks. So I came up with this way to make it easy to oil the chain from Mthe ground. I used a chain lube spray can, an old grease gun holding clamp, two small bolts, a short bar to act as a lever on the spray nozzle, a long nylon cord, and a small spring to support the weight of the cord. It was a simple matter of mounting the can in a position where the spray would hit the chain and running the cord down to the ground. Now just a short pull on the cord from the ground oils the chain. We don't have to climb up on the bin and wear and tear are kept to a minimum."
