  • Patent number: 6206177
    Abstract: The invention is auger drive bearing mechanism having an upward auger device having a center shaft with an auger formed about and along the shaft and a sleeve surrounding the auger shaft and auger. A bearing housing is mounted at the lower end of the auger shaft and a housing shaft has its upper end connected to the auger shaft, while the housing shaft has it lower end adapted to be mounted to the power take off shaft of a tractor for powering the shaft and auger. A dual pair of tapered bearings are mounted in the housing on the housing shaft with one tapered bearing having rollers angled downward and outward to withstand the axial downward trust load of the auger and weight of grain and other particles when augered upward by the auger in the sleeve. An opposed tapered bearing at the lower end of the bearing housing acts to hold the housing mechanism together.
