HOW?!
What happens here
Carefully position the new replacement auger into the spreader's hopper, aligning its shaft with the drive mechanism and the mounting points for the bearing. Install the new pillow block bearing onto the auger shaft and secure it to the spreader frame using new or cleaned fasteners. Ensure the auger spins freely and that the bearing is properly seated and lubricated if applicable (some bearings come pre-lubricated). Tighten all bolts to the manufacturer's specifications. The video concludes by showing a new, clean pillow block bearing, indicating it is ready for installation.
Goal: Securely install the new auger and bearing for proper function.
