Introduction
The Farm King conventional auger mover is an option that attaches to an auger and allows you
to transfer the weight from the intake onto a swivel yoke.This makes moving the auger and
positioning it at a bin a much lighter task, which can be done by one person.There are two sizes
available.The small mover fits 31', 36', 41', and 46' augers.The large mover fits 51', 56', and 61'
augers.
Keep this manual handy for frequent reference. All new operators or owners must review the
manual before using the equipment and at least annually thereafter. Contact your Farm King

Assembly - Conventional Auger Mover
Assembly Instructions
Wheel Drive Installation
1. Jack up one end of the auger axle (#24) and remove the wheel and tire assembly.
2. Take one of the wheel drive gears (#84) and place it into the inside of the rim with the gear
facing out. Use a straight edge placed at several positions across the tire to line up the gear.
3. With the gear lined up, fasten it to the rim using four 5/16" x 1/2" socket set screws.These must
be tightened in several stages switching from side to side so the gear stays in position.These
must be securely tightened to prevent the gear from popping out under load. Bolt the rim back
onto the auger.
4. Now take the drive assembly with the hydraulic motor and slide it onto the axle.The
assemblies are left and right.The handle should face the outside of the axle and the drive
gear should be facing down.The hydraulic ports on the motor should face up. It is VERY
IMPORTANT the motor gear is parallel with the wheel drive gear and that both gears contact
along their full length.
5. Tack the hydraulic motor arm (#66) on the drive assembly to the axle. Double check for
alignment and weld solid.
6. Insert two 7/8" MORB x 9/16" MJIC 90° elbows (#7 hydraulic fittings) into the motor ports.
Tighten so ends face center of the axle.
7. Repeat on the other wheel.
8. If the motor gear is not engaged far enough into the wheel drive gear, the bottom of the handle
is slotted for adjustment.
Mover Axle Assembly
1. Be sure to install the grease nipples in the tubes at both ends of the axle assembly before
mounting the tires. Insert the left hand (#11) and the right hand (#12) hub and spindle
assemblies through the tubes at the ends of the axle, check to see that they are turned as
shown in the drawing.
2. The right hand spindle has a coupler (#14) pushed onto the shaft protruding through the
sleeve. It is held in place by a 3/8" x 3/4" set screw and jam nut in the shaft groove.
3. Take the valve mount and steering handle weldment and insert it onto the shaft of the left hand
spindle using a 1/4" x 2" key. Hold in place with a set screw and jam nut in the shaft groove.
4. Mount the wheels and tires on the spindle hubs using the nuts supplied with the hubs. Bolt the
steering tube (#5) to the lever on the right hand spindle (#12) using a 1/2" x 1-1/2" bolt and lock
nut.The other end of the tube has a threaded adjustment rod. Adjust the threaded rod until the
wheels are parallel. Do not over tighten lock nuts because parts must turn freely.

Assembly - Conventional Auger Mover
Mover Frame Assembly
1. Slide the left and right adjustment tubes (#6 & #7) into the two outer tubes (#3).The connecting
hole you use will vary with the length of the auger. For the small mover use the tubes fully
extended on 46’ augers and fully collapsed on 31' augers. Sizes between these lengths will
use a hole between these two positions. For the large mover use the tubes fully extended on
61’ augers and fully collapsed on 51' augers.Turn adjustment tubes so brace bracket is on the
inside.The inner and outer tubes are joined by a hose guide weldment (#16) with a 1/2" bolt on
the left hand side. A 1/2" x 3-1/2" bolt, lock washer and hex nut is used on the right hand side.
Two additional hose guides with a 3/8" bolt (#17) are spaced along the left adjustment tube (#6).
2. Bolt the ends of the tube assemblies between the brackets welded to the side of the mover axle
assembly (#1) using 1/2" x 3-1/2" bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.The two cross braces (#48)
join the two tube assemblies. One end bolts to the axle and the other end to the welded bracket
on the tube. Join where they cross. Use 1/2" x 1-1/4" bolts, lock washers and hex nuts at all five
locations.
3. Loosely assemble the mover clamp plates (#47) and the support clamp weldments(#10) on the
main auger axle using 1/2" x 3/4" bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Space them so they are
centered on the axle and about the same distance apart as the ends of the tube assemblies.The
welded tube on the support clamp weldment is turned down and faces the inside of the auger.
The ends of the axle tubes bolt to the outsides of the clamp tubes using a 3/4" x 4" bolt and lock
nut.Tighten so this connection can still move freely. Verify that the two clamp assemblies are
accurately centered and then tighten bolts.
4. Connect the two hydraulic cylinders (#8) to the mover axle (#1) using the lower lift pin (#46).The
cylinders are turned with the ports facing in.The ends of the cylinders and a cylinder spacer
weldment (#9) are fitted on the pin between two welded brackets on the mover axle.The lift arm
weldment (#2) slides onto the ends of the cylinders and is held on by two 1/2" x 2-1/2" bolts,
lock washers and hex nuts.The tube clamp weldment (#13) connects to the end of the lift arm
with the upper lift pin (#45). Both pins are held in place by 1/4" x 1-1/2" cotter pins (#60).
5. Before bolting the clamp to the tube, extend the hydraulic cylinders about 1-1/2".This will make
the tires for the mover lift when the cylinder is fully compressed for transport. Bolt the clamp to
the tube using 3/8" x 2" bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Clamp position will be checked when
assembly is complete.
6. Connect the transport chain when the mover is lifted up in transport position. Bolt one end to
the lift arm (#2) and the other end to the threaded chain tightener. Use 3/8" x 1-1/4" bolts, lock
washers and hex nuts. Use the clevis and the threaded rod to adjust to the correct length when
in transport position. DO NOT forget to remove this chain before using the mover.
HydraulicTank and Winch Assembly
1. The hydraulic oil tank bolts to the right hand undercarriage arm just above the motor mount.
Turn tank so filler cap faces up. Position so the 3/4" hose will be long enough to reach from the
end of the tank to the hydraulic pump behind the gas motor. Fit the two tank strap weldments
into the grooves on the tank and bolt on the two stands (#33 & #34). One stand (#34) has extra
holes for mounting the oil filter.These holes face the outside of the auger. Use 3/8" lock washers
and hex nuts. Bolt the stands to the undercarriage arm using two 4-1/2" long clamp plates (#67)
and 3/8" x 4-1/2" bolts, lock washers and hex nuts.

Assembly - Conventional Auger Mover
2. The winch bracket (#70) should be in place on the auger before starting.The rest of the winch
drive assembly can be assembled before bolting to the winch bracket. Remove the long bolt
from the top corner of the winch and replace it after sliding it through the welded sleeve on the
winch adaptor weldment (#23). Bolt the manifold (#19) to the hydraulic motor (#18) using four
5/16" x 2" socket head bolts. Join the winch shaft using a 3/16" sq. x 1" key and the hydraulic
motor using a woodruff key in the motor with the chain coupler.Tighten set screws in coupler
when in place. Bolt the winch adaptor weldment to the hydraulic motor using two 3/8" x 3/4"
bolts and lock washers.The winch guard weldment (#22) bolts to the edge of the winch with
a 1/4" x 3/4" bolt, lock washer and hex nut and to the motor with a 3/8" x 3/4" bolt and lock
washer.To tighten the bolts on the chain coupler cover, first tighten one side and then turn the
winch one half turn with a wrench to tighten the other side. Bolt this assembly to the winch
bracket and attach the cable.
Hydraulic Pump, Valve and Hose Assembly
1. Bolt the motor stop to the side of the motor mount. Slide on the stop tube with the set screw
first (#133 & #132).Then slide on the stop weldment (#130). A 1/4" x 11/4" bolt and hex nut at
the end stop them from sliding off. Bolt the pump assembly (#122) to the side of the gas motor
using slots in the connector bar (#116).
2. Bolt the control valve (#42) to the top of the steering handle (#4) using 5/16" x 2-3/4" bolts,
lock washers and hex nuts.The cover with the decal for control directions can be added after
fittings and hoses are in place.The correct fittings are shown on the drawing labeled hydraulic
fittings. Note that one of the ports has a ball valve.This valve acts as a safety mechanism so
the winch cannot be accidentally activated.The winch has a pressure relief valve so the hoses
must be connected to the correct ports. Check hydraulic system drawing to verify.
3. Install the rest of the fittings as shown on the hydraulic fittings drawing.The base for the oil
filter holder will require 3/4" to 1/2" reducer bushings that are not shown on this drawing.
4. There are two separate drawings showing the hose connections for the small and the large
mover. About half the hoses are equal lengths on both sizes of movers. Run the long hoses
through the hose guides on the mover tubing. On some shorter sizes you will have to roll up
excess length of hose. Use cable ties to fasten any hoses that hang down to the axle or mover
tubing.
Belt Guard Assembly
1. Mount the 12" guard (#2) to the auger. Bolt the belt guard adjustment plate (#7) to the inside
edge of the guard using 3/8" x 3/4" bolt, lock washers and hex nuts.This plate should line up
with the top and bottom of the guard.The two holes 4-7/8" apart face out with the four holes
facing down.
2. Bolt the triangle welded to the top guard weldment (#1) to the adjustment plate. Pick holes that
line up best with the belt. Use 3/8" x 1" bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. Bolt the bottom belt
guard weldment (#4) to one of the four holes on the adjustment plate using the welded sleeve
on the guard with a 3/8" x 4" bolt, lock washer and hex nut. Choose the hole that lines up best
with the belt.
