I was wondering how you guys patch the underside of the augers in your combines as they get older and start leaking a bit. Duct tape works in the field for a couple days, but doesn't last. And in some places like the bottom of the grain tank where you have to tape inside instead of outside the tube duct tape won't hold.
I don't know hardly anything about using a torch and metalworking (welding/brazing) that way, and this stuff is thin enough I'd expect it'd burn right through anyway. I'm wondering about fiberglass resin or body putty or JBWeld or something to cram in there and smear over the holes like blackjack on a leaky roof. Any recommendations?
Also I mentioned the wooden blocks on the combine forum. In my 510 Massey I tend to break blocks used for bearings under the grain pan and strawwalker, especially if the machine plugs up with too much bean straw. I also sometimes break a strawwalker and that almost always breaks the blocks. Anybody know where I can get spares?
Thanks!
