Followed instruction relative the specific equipment found online.
Removal of the main shaft drive sheave was difficult, sheave set screws marked the drive shaft.
Original auger bearing flanges are threaded, replacement bearings were not, required to purchase a 5/16GÇ¥ X 18 bolt thread tap and cut threads into them, the fla nge holes were of the right diameter for the tap.
The auger bearing can then installed onto the auger shaft ends.
