Grain Bin ID

Daughter found this bin in western Ohio. I looked at it today and it has nothing on it to indicate brand. I would like to know so I can see are there replacement parts in case we damage something taking it down The one next to it has a heated fan with brand name Airstream and is the same type of bin. Anyone out there looking at the picture tell what brand of bin this is?

I think "Airstream" is a name used by GSI. And didn't Agco buy GSI?

Thanks Bob. When I look up the fan I get GSI dealers. Maybe a few others here can confirm?

I don't know why.......... most of the bins around here are the "unstiffened" ones. The sheets pretty much interchange regardless of brand. 2.66" corrugation, 32" high sheets, so 3 rings is 8' height. And the number of sheets per ring x 3 = bin diameter. (7 sheets per ring- 21' diam. bin) (10 sheets per ring- 30' diam. bin)

These bins pictured look like the most recent one we had put up. A flatter corrugation, and different size sheets. Supports running all the way up the outside.

that's a chief bin in the early 1970s

That is a small bin to need stiffners and you definately a larger unloading auger.

Thats a 2000 bushel bin, how big an auger do you want, lol? The former owner farmed 800 acres. No one knows why the little bins and he is not available for comment.

Are they a quality bin?

Not sure about the make of bin. You do want the walk in door like that has though.
By the time you tear that down and clean the sealer off and put it back together with new bolts and a floor in it it will be just as cheap to buy new. The labor is the cost. By the time you pull that down your butt will be dragging and you still have to haul it home yet. As for the unloading auger it is not so much for your convenience as if you load semis they will charge you if you take to long to load so with an 8or 10 inch load out you will meet the time and will not be sorry for the bigger auger. When we put the full air floor in the one bin we put it an 8 inch load out auger and have not been sorry. Would like to go to a 10" or bigger auger to the truck from the bin. It takes about 45 minutes to and hour to load a semi with 8 inch auger up to the truck.
The auger tube will be under the floor if it has one if not then will be stuck in the concrete. The flighting will probably be worn enough just put the 8 inch in. Premier components in Alma/ST. Louis MI will have the tube and screw for that job. Might even have a short piece for you.
Make sure you get the concrete higher than the hopper on your auger you will load trucks with. Another words you don't want to have to dig a hole for the hopper. Always full of water or ice in the winter to chop out.
For the forms you could use some of the bin sheets with a cable around to hold them together.

No idea if this a deal or no, but came across these this am..
