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 - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
