Mixer Auger Replaced With Gravity Wagon Auger
Menno L. Chupp, Arthur, Ill.: “I bought a used Peerless roller mill mixer 3 years ago with an unloading auger that didn’t work due to a stripped gearbox. I couldn’t find another mixer auger to replace it, so instead I used an old 12-ft. long gravity wagon auger that I bought at an auction for $50. “The mixer came with a short auger at the bottom that delivered feed through a slide gate and then into another auger mounted outside. I removed both augers and reinstalled just the gravity wagon auger. It came with a metal chute, hydraulic motor and hoses, shut-off valve, and a hand-operated winch to raise or lower the auger. The gravity wagon mounting bracket didn’t match up with the mixer auger’s original bolt holes, so I installed a pair of homemade metal brackets on either side of the auger to hold it in place.”
