  It was good of your mate to ensure that there was no grease on the pins so your hands wouldn&apos;t get dirty. Not everyone would be so thoughtful :D

  Once again, Kurtis proves that he can fix practically anything. And Karen proves that she can edit it into a can&apos;t-look-away video. Well done as always! 😊

  I appreciate your non bullshit approach to stuff like this. Went immediately to the &quot;can&apos;t be stuck if it&apos;s a liquid&quot; step of the disassembly guide.

  Since he&apos;s your buddy, you should have done him a solid by blasting, priming, and painting his power head. Pink.

  Your mate is lucky to know someone who will actually repair his kit and not bubble gum “fix” it.

  I been working for Bobcat for more then 20 years and have worked in the auger section on and off in the years. We stopped making them in house back in 2020 cause of the issue of getting those motors for them. Covid and the supply chain issues made it hard to be productive in them. We farm them out except I still make the HD or heavy duty backs in house. About 50 a year but this year I been making 20 every other month so 60 this year so far. That&apos;s not an HD back on this one. That looks like it&apos;s for a backhoe and not a skid steer. I have never assembled them so is good seeing how the come apart and go together. The head bracket is what we called the birdhouse since that&apos;s what it looks like. I always thought is was strange we make a HD back but not an HD birdhouse or can. Those two components come standard only. That is a 15 can and not a 10 can by the design. There are four types of augers. The 10 which can also be made for a mini which goes on a walk behind skid steer and the 15 and the HD&apos;s. The 10&apos;s have a smaller motor.

  I am surprised you didn&apos;t put some grease on that new pin before sending it back to your buddy. You know he is not going to put any grease in there since he didn&apos;t do it before.

  Love Kurtis&apos;s Tim Taylor &quot;more power&quot; progression with the Uga Duga guns. Absolute gold.

  Around <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSXit4Dat6s&amp;t=660">11:00</a>, &nbsp;a suggestion when attempting to drive out the stuck pin would be to place the part with the pin over the cross brace of the pallet. &nbsp;This would give a much more solid surface to hammer against. &nbsp;The way it was supported allowed the spring of the wood slats to absorb a good portion of the hammer blow. &nbsp;As always, thanks for posting. &nbsp;The level of videography, content, editing, etc, etc is top notch.
