    Abstract: A power driven auxiliary conveyor assembly used in conjunction with a standard grain auger for sweeping grain on a supporting surface toward the infeed end of the grain auger. The auxiliary conveyor assembly consists of a longitudinally extending material conveying element driven by a hydraulic motor and in one form is an endless belt having cleats mounted thereon at longitudinally spaced intervals and, in a second embodiment, is a screw conveyor or auger. A sliding swivel connection, detachably connects the auxiliary conveyor assembly to the grain auger.
