Extending All-Crop Harvester Unloading Auger

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The grain truck I bought is just under 8' tall over the bed sides. I measured and I don't think my unloading All-Crop 60 auger will clear unless I ramp up the bin-side wheel of the combine on some boards and maybe have the truck parked in a low spot.
I have another 60 for parts. If I cut up the parts combine auger and tube, and attached say 1-2' of them to my better combine, I think I'd clear. Is there anything special about extending an auger like this? Just figure out a way to weld/pin the two augers together and bolt the tubes up somehow?

	That would be an ambitious project! Keeping everything straight so the flighting doesn't rub the tube would be the hardest part.

	DennisA (IL) posted pictures of what sounds like an AC attachment for this, but the pictures are long gone: https://www.allischalmers.com/forum/60-allcrop-harvester-attchments_topic57341.html I think this was his for sale and he made a nice video of it. He mentions the auger extension around 3:03: https://youtu.be/CDiMxM4O0ZE?si=efqO3StoC3G7w4jV&t=183 This attachment is not mentioned in either of my All-Crop manuals, but they could be too old. I would love to have details about the auger extension attachment if anyone has one or has installed one in the past.

	Years ago, New Idea Uni’s had a model or two of their Combines that had an unloading auger that went straight out the back of the grain bin, that was long enough to dump into a trailing gravity box hitched to the combine. That auger was maybe, 6”? folded manually in the middle. We didn’t use very often, just to use when opening up the couple 100+ acre fields, we had. It was not fast, it enabled you make a complete round trip before the grain bin overflowed. Edited by Lars(wi) - 13 hours 6 minutes ago at 11:46am
	I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

	Maybe to justify the effort, extend auger further than 1-2’? Perhaps an 8.5-9’ gravity wagon or other future possibilities could evolve? If extending say +5’, then maybe add a fold into the auger. Whichever the case, some of the following may work? -expand extension auger tube’s joining end by 1-1.5” for it to slide over original auger tube. Then weld or bolt to connect them? Expansion could easily be accomplished by using thin 1/16”cuts spaced (2”?) around its 18.84” diameter (6x3.14). Then slightly bend 2” pieces outward, slide expanded tube over original tub’s end, & hammer 2” flanges back into fit & weld. Maybe use a short inner pipe to connect 2 flightings with weld or bolts? -OR, add a fold hinge into auger during extension that could assist for transport/storage? Might be able to purchase an 6” auger fold kit(flat flanges, inner bearing support, locking mechanism, etc)? Manufacturers of weigh wagons sometimes offer folding 6” unloading auger parts?

	Use the flanges for the tube and the coupler for the auger that they use on a 66 allcrop where the auger folds upright.

	My brother made a 3 foot extension for one of our AllCrop augers. It looks amazingly good!!! I would love to post pictures of it for your interest if it wasn't so difficult to do so. Ryan Edited by Ryan Renko - 6 hours 44 minutes ago at 6:08pm
