Re: I need help on shoe auger's on 50 and 60 sts
well i ended up taking the bolts out of the flanges, then take the roll pins out, i had to replace two shoe augers originally, but when i went to take the supports off in the back, the alluminum one. The one on the left side, the dam bearing frezzed up on me so i ended up cutting the alluminum support off the shaft, then accidently got into a third shoe auger shaft so had to replace three of them. that deffantly sucked. but im 5'11' and about 150 and i ended up climbing up between the drive shaft and the cross member, and next to the tranny, on both sides of the tranny. Its not too bad on the right side if looking at the front of the combine, but the left side is tight as heck. If i was any fatter i would be screwed. I ended up getting pissed and cut them off in the front. i needed another guy to hand me the torch when i got under there, the augers on the sides deffantly suck tho, especially putting in roll pins. and the reason why i origanlly needed to replace them was the roll pin wallorded out the shaft. The roll pin in it was was just a roll put if your order them now there called spring pins.
