Kelly, that's exactly how I was thinking I'd repair it. Apparently, great minds think alike! Think I'll keep the auger, for now anyway. Just in case. Was going to pull it apart anyway though because I have a bent impeller blade.
As far as the sheer bolt, I actually did have a grade 8 in it when it ripped the tube. I didn't have any more, so threw the grade 5 in to finish up.

Jon you shouldn't even have a graded bolt in there. Shear bolts are extremely soft to break before karnage happens to the auger or shaft as we have seen in the pics. A grade 5 did the same damage to my auger because I didn't have any more shear bolts and thought a grade 5 would work in a pinch. So much for wishful thinking.
