WTB - parts for kewanee auger with flip up hopper

[Allis Dave]

I have an old Kewanee pencil auger with a flip up hopper. Does anyone have a junk one laying around?

I have one that I'm putting new bearing in and going to start using. There's a unique gear on the bottom of the auger and the flip up hopper auger that mesh together to drive the hopper auger.

They are an odd gear that has long teeth about an inch long. If I break one I doubt I can find a replacement.

Does anyone have a junk auger they would sell me the gears off of? I'd like to have 1 or 2 spare gears. You can remove them fairly easy. They aren't pressed on.

Does anyone remember using these?

Here's a manual with a picture of one.

Could you post a pic of yours on here? There are some odd gears in my shop that may be what you need. How thick of material? Size of shaft?

Here's a picture of the gear. Just over 4" across with a .800" square center hole

That sure looks familiar, will look tonite.

I'd appreciate it. I've started replacing al the bearings on the auger. I'd hate to do all that then break a gear next year and have no replacements and have to junk the auger. I'd feel better having an extra on the shelf

No luck, 3 broken ones and one well worn. Sorry.

 

[Allis Dave]

how is the well worn one? It might be better than a broken one. Are the broken ones just missing one tooth or several?

Missing two teeth.

No it's all there.
