Auger Brazing; Feed Line Winch Assembly - Chore-Time H2 PLUS Installation & Operator's Instruction Manual

Auger Brazing

The auger should be brazed if it is necessary to splice or lengthen it. A bronze, flux coated rod is
recommended.
The ends of the auger should butt against each other, DO NOT THREAD INSIDE EACH
OTHER. See Figure 41. The joint should be well filled with no sharp edges or rough corners to
wear against the tube. To align the auger for brazing, lay it in angle or channel iron and clamp it
firmly in place. Use low heat. Allow the joint to air cool; rapid cooling will cause the auger to
become brittle.
