I posted earlier about gravity boxes, many good responses there.
Several people mentioned bins for on farm storage, I do have 2 small bins here, they were here when I bought the place 4 years ago. one is 13' across by 12' high, the other is 12' across and 13' high, but I believe that I calculated that they each hold about 1400 bushel. These are older bins, neither one has any air at all, but they do have a cement floor and seem to be in good usable condition. Also, neither one has an unload auger at all. I'm certainly not against investing a little money into these if they can make my life easier. I'd be interested in what I could do to these bins to make them usable, most specifically how I could add airflow of some sort and a way to easily unload them. I certainly can see the benefits of on farm storage and really like the idea of using these bins. I would likely use these bins mostly for soybeans and small grain storage. I don't think I'm big enough to worry about drying or storing corn long term at this point. If I plant corn, it would only be small acres, probably 15 at most.
What air options are available for these older bins?
What unload options are there? can I just install an auger on the floor, through the side of the bin?

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
