....Time and money! I figure I have twice what I was expecting into this thing, but it is nearing completion. We just have to install the freshly built roll-feed hopper, cross auger, ball trays, and front deck.
I scrapped my idea to use a tailings elevator off my parts Gleaner. Instead, I am using the tube from the tailings auger, and installing a poly cup auger into it. Then I'm going to haul 2 15 foot augers with me to the farms. The outlet auger will be poly cup, but the inlet auger will stay with steel flighting for now. If I get a lot of interest in cleaning soybeans, then I'll buy another poly cup for the inlet.
I didn't get a roll-feed hopper with this machine, so I bought another parts machine to use it. Unfortunately, it didn't have the gears to reduce the RPMS, so I bought a 43-1 inline speed reduction gearbox off fleabay to get the 5 rpm that the hopper is supposed to run. I bought a 16b from Alabama and we were able look at it for a pattern to make a totally new hopper.
I have an old roadside sprayer trailer I am mounting it on for now, but would like to buy an old horse trailer to put it in in the future. A horse trailer will allow me to portect the cleaner from road salt and rain, and allow for more storage for augers and screens. Just using what I have to get started.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
