Abstract: A bubble-up auger assembly for an agricultural vehicle includes a rotatable shaft having flightings and a first connection end that is configured to be releasably engaged with an input shaft for rotating the rotatable shaft. A tube surrounds the rotatable shaft. A linkage guides movement of the auger assembly between a raised position and a lowered position. In the raised position, the connection end of the rotatable shaft is positioned to be engaged with the input shaft. In the lowered position, the connection end of the rotatable shaft is positioned to be separated from the input shaft. As the auger assembly is moved from the raised position to the lowered position, in a first movement, the linkage is configured to initially translate the auger assembly in a first direction, and in a second movement, the linkage is configured to rotate the auger assembly to the lowered position.

Abstract: A bubble-up auger for a combine harvester includes a rotatable shaft, a lower auger section either mounted to or forming part of the rotatable shaft, and an upper auger section that is removably connected to the lower auger section, and includes an opening through which the shaft is at least partially positioned. The upper auger section is moveable between a first position where the upper auger section is detached from the lower auger section and a second position where the upper auger section is connected to the lower auger section.
