I have a JD, but they all have about the same parts.
I do all of my grinding and then add the concentrate/mineral to it. I add it through the mineral auger and at the end I pour in one five gallon bucket of the previous week's feed to the mineral hopper to push all of the mineral through and into the tub. I don't want any salt sitting in that auger tube. I let the tractor mix at a slow idle for about 10 minutes and then put it in the feed wagon. I had trouble with mine where if I would dump a whole bag of concentrate in the hopper it would jump a tooth on the drive chain. Turns out the bearing on the other end of that auger was out letting the shaft wiggle when it got a big load. I'd be willing to bet my bean crop (that still isn't in) that you have a bearing out you haven't found. With worn flighting it should be easier for the tractor as it won't get all of the product whiped off the edge of the tube.
I don't know what to tell you about the dust seperater. Mine is always uncovered but only blows dust when grinding (the machine is always parked inside). I wouldn't run the mineral through the mill. It will turn it into dust which the animals are more likely to waste.

Today's Featured Article - Using Your Tractor: Creating a Seed Bed - by Chris Pratt. When I bought my first old tractor, I had only one idea in mind. It wasn't the preservation of old iron since at that time, I was unaware that people even did this. It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
