[AT] Grain Augers

This posting is interesting to me since here in California, while there are
lots of Tomato harvesters, nut harvesting equipment, cotton and so many
other kinds of machinery, I have never seen a grain auger in active use!
Here the grain is passed from the combine to a semi-truck trailer or if a
rice operation to a Bankout unit. The Bankouts are a motorized grain wagon
with either tracks or BIG 4 wheel drive tires. So those mid-western farm
auctions are just a remote item to us....

Farm auctions are , or used to be, a good source for old Briggs engines.
Probably half the grain augers out there used to be powered by a Briggs 12
or 16 hp engine. Smaller ones too. I think I still have a black one, (9or 10
hp?) Can't recall the model numbers. Carb kits were not a problem to buy
last time I tried but that is a few years ago. A lot of these engines have
been retired as grain augers grow bigger and require newer, bigger engines
for power.
