Just a little off topic.....
I thank you all for the help! Some good idea's flying, some I had thought of, some I hadn't. But.... I was really more interested in the new auger. If it would affect the feed either positively or negatively. If the "serrated" edges helped any.... I have the new one, and I'm keeping it. I will also repair and keep the old augers. Just wondering if it might be advantageous to put the new one in, or if it matters.
