[QUOTE="Pan mixer, post: 7884915, member: 5334"] Bit of a problem today in the mill and mix department. Barley auger (bodged 15 years ago) snapped, pulled the whole thing out from under a bin. [ATTACH type="full"]1002994[/ATTACH] As you can see the last bodge involved using plastic drain pipe to replace the original metal tube which had rusted away. [ATTACH type="full"]1002995[/ATTACH]I now have experience and I can tell you that plastic drain pipe doesn't last for quite 15 years when used every day as an auger tube. [ATTACH type="full"]1002996[/ATTACH] No bits of 14.5mm steel rod in the workshop so 'turned down' an M16 bolt with an angle grinder and the drill press. [ATTACH type="full"]1002998[/ATTACH] Bolted that in the break with 4 x m6 bolts and tacked the flight back together. The, thinking that another dozen years or so might well exceed the lifespan of the mill and mixing setup, put a fresh piece of drain pipe over the whole lot and shoved it all back under the bin. [ATTACH type="full"]1003001[/ATTACH] Test flight (before the guard went back on) jobs a good un. Thank goodness as we needed it today. [/QUOTE]
