Abstract: The present disclosure provides an assembly including an electric motor within an electric motor case and a driveline support. The electric motor includes at least one stator and a rotor. The rotor is connected to a rotor shaft. The vehicle support includes a hub rotatably attached to a housing by a package bearing. The electric motor case is attached to the housing and supports the stator. The rotor shaft is attached to the hub and supported solely by the package bearing of the driveline support. A shoulder portion of the rotor shaft abuts an end of the hub such that a desired air gap is maintained between the rotor and the stator.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling grain flow within a column of a grain dryer is disclosed. The grain dryer includes a metering roll positioned to contact grain advancing out of a discharge opening of the column. The grain dryer further includes a regulator member which is movable between a flow regulating position and a trash escape position. The regulator member contacts either the metering roll, or grain supported by the metering roll when the regulator member is positioned in the flow regulating position. The regulator member is spaced from the metering roll by a distance sufficient to enable a trash object to advance between the regulator member and the metering roll when the regulator is positioned in the trash escape position. A method of controlling grain flow within a column of a grain dryer is also disclosed.
