ABSTRACT:
Replaceable intake section (14) of grain auger (10) includes fixed metal elongate support (22) secured to tubular casing (11) and extending beneath flexible intake end flight portion (17) which is connected by a clutch to the main flight of auger (10). Pliable, soft, rubber, safety guard or collar (27) is part-circular in section and extends around flight portion (17). Longitudinal edges on guard (27) normally engage with edges (34) of support (22). If an obstruction, such as an operator's foot, engages the auger intake, free end portions of guard (27) can disengage from edges (34) of elongate support (22) to minimise jamming or injury. Collar (27) may be attached to adjustable slide (25) to vary the length of flighting (17) exposed and thereby alter the rate of feed.
