Message: <blockquote data-quote="vinito" data-source="post: 90149" data-attributes="member: 12954">Got a thread going on my newbie-to-skidsteer advantures. I thought I'd open a new one for my auger adventure. I just now picked this one up off Craiglist and brought it into the garage where my loader is now comfortably nestled too. That's a luxury for me - the garege is usually so full of orphan projects that there is no room at all in there. Anyway, here's what I drug home: It's just direct drive and not much of a mount at the moment. I wonder if it will work this way or if I'll have to add a reducer. Surplus Center has a nice one for pretty cheap if I need it:<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mikeyphoto/media/Auger%202.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/mikeyphoto/Auger%202.jpg" alt=" photo Auger 2.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>I guess the first thing I need to do is hook up the hydraulics and try it out to see how fast the motor spins, then go from there?My manual shows a spec for the hydraulic pump of 7.2 GPM. I guess that is in the low end, but still in the ballpark isn't it?Anyway, any advice is appreciated. Caveats, suggestions, criticizms are all welcome.Obviously the mount will change. I figure I'll make a whole new "cage" for the motor-to-shaft mount since that's a simple box. Then I'll work on how it connects to the machine. Both of those ought to be fairly straightforward I think, as long as I make it all strong enough.</blockquote>
