The flighting in my gravity wagon seed auger was cupped steel flighting. Bought it used that way last spring. Used it last spring and it was cracking too many beans so this winter I pulled the flighting out while it was sitting in the Morton shed so I knew what I was dealing with when I shopped for plastic flighting. When I took it apart I left everything right there so I could find it. Bought the plastic flighting three weeks ago and decided to put it in today so yesterday I got the wagon and parts ready. There was NO end cap for the top of the auger anywhere. It's the one with the bearing in it. I scoured the shed three times, checking every corner with a flashlight and nothing, and I do keep a neat clean shed so errant parts aren't usually hard to find. My son went in there and scoured the shed . Nothing!
This morning I went to the Sudenga dealer and bought a new top bearing and I spend a couple of hours making a new end cap. Got the cap painted, went in for dinner, came out and cranked the auger down to the ground to slide the new flighting in, and there was the end cap I was looking for in the hopper. Then I remembered I'd put it there to keep it safe, and it certainly was. I put it in there and when I folded the auger back up to the transport position it hid the end cap. Wasted the whole morning away for nothing. Now I have to return the spendy little wooden bearing and flangette with a red face so I can get my $32.00 back. Anybody need a new custom made end cap for a 6" auger? Next time the spare parts will be hanging on a wire in plain view. You know the old saying. "If you want to find the lost part, go buy a new one"! Heck of it is, this is certainly not the first time I've pulled this stunt. Jim

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
