Progress in small stages

I had to skip off to a friend’s yesterday to play computer games, so I dragged the auger assembly for her husband to play with.  He is an absolute wiz at machinery stuff.  Terry had been unable to detach the drive shaft from the auger gear box.  John found a painted over pin that held the drive shaft to the gear box if the shear pin failed, one of those handy safety things.  With the pin removed the drive shaft slipped right off.  Progress!
