1.1.1. GRAIN TRANSFER BOOTAND PTO DRIVELINE
The grain transfer boot is located at the bottom of the main auger tube, and
contains gearing for power transfer as well as flights for transferring grain.
The power source for the auger is a standard 1000 RPM tractor PTO. The PTO
driveline connections (both forward and reverse directions) are located on the
speed reducer gearbox above the tractor hitch.
The auger tube lift valve used to allow or shut off hydraulic pressure to the main
auger tube lift cylinders, and is located on the side of the boot (see figure below).
See section 6.1. for further information on auger controls.
Several access hatches are provided for maintenance and repair, as well as an
overflow panel on the swing-arm spout head and a clean-out hatch at the bottom
of the boot.
The low-profile grain hopper is designed to be rolled into position to receive grain
for transfer through the boot to the auger discharge spout. Ground clearance can
be adjusted by raising or lowering the position of the hopper wheel axles (see
“Connect the Intake Hopper to the Swing Tube” on page 83).
The grain hopper must be lifted and secured for transport using the hopper lift
arm, hydraulic winch, and transport chain and hook (see Figure 1.4).The hopper
lift arm can be reconfigured for lifting on either side of the auger.
Do not approach, open or close the maintenance hatch located on the transition
between the swing are tube and the hopper unless all power to the auger is
locked out.
DANGER
Rotating Auger Hazard
Contact with rotating flighting will result in
amputation or severe laceration.

The auger tube is raised and lowered using single-acting hydraulic cylinders
powered by the hydraulic supply of the connected tractor. The main auger tube is
raised by extending the cylinders, and lowered by allowing the cylinders to
retract. (see Figure 1.5).
A hydraulic ball valve mounted on the side of the grain pick-up boot controls flow
of hydraulic fluid to the lift cylinders, and with appropriate use of the hydraulic
controls on the connected tractor, allows the main auger tube to be raised,
lowered, or locked at a specific height during operation (see “Operator Controls”
on page 113).

2.2. ASSEMBLY SAFETY
• Read and understand the instructions to get to know the sub-assemblies and
hardware that make up the equipment before preceding to assemble the
product.
• Do not take chances with safety. The components are large, heavy, and can
be hard to handle. Always use the proper tools, stands, jacks, and hoists for
the job.
• Read and understand assembly instructions before proceeding to assemble
the product.
• Always have two or more people assembling the equipment. Because of the
weight, do not attempt assembly alone.
• Never use a PTO driveline without a rotating shield in good working order.
• Ensure PTO driveline is securely attached at both ends before operating.
• Before starting tractor, turn power to PTO to the off position (where applicable).
• Keep body, hair, and clothing away from rotating PTO driveline.
• Ensure the PTO driveline shields turn freely on the PTO driveline.
• Do not exceed PTO operating speed of 1000 rpm.
• Keep u-joint angles small and equal. Do not exceed recommended operating
length for PTO driveline.
2.5. HYDRAULIC SAFETY
• Wear proper hand and face protection when searching for hydraulic leaks.
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury
like gangrene. In case of accident, see a doctor immediately.
• Fluid leaks in the hydraulic lift cylinders or hoses will allow the auger to lower
inadvertently. Repair all leaks and breaks immediately. Rupture could cause
damage and/or personal injury.
• A hydraulic lift is faster than a conventional hand crank—always clear area of
personnel before raising or lowering.
• Do not disconnect hydraulic couplers when hydraulic system is pressurized.
For the correct procedure, consult this manual or your tractor manual.
• Relieve pressure before unhooking hydraulic lines.
• Inspect hydraulic fittings and hoses for damage on a daily basis. Repair if
damaged.
• Ensure that the hydraulic line(s) is (are) properly connected and secure.
• Keep hydraulic line(s) away from moving parts.
• Clean connections before connecting to equipment.
• Transport auger in full down position with slight tension on cable.
• Properly place hitch pin and securely attach safety
chain. Use a type of hitch pin that will not allow
auger to separate from towing vehicle.
• Always attach an SMV (slow moving vehicle) sign
before transporting auger. Equip the auger with the
necessary lights for transportation where required
by law. Always use hazard warning flashers on the
tractor/towing vehicle when transporting unless
prohibited by law.
• Always travel at a safe speed, never exceeding 15
mph (24 km/hr). Reduce speed on rough surfaces
and be cautious when turning corners or meeting
traffic.
• Before raising/lowering/moving the auger, make
sure the area around the auger is clear of obstructions and/or untrained personnel. Never allow anyone to stand on or beneath auger while
transporting or placing auger.
• Do not transport auger on slopes greater than 20°.
• Wheels must be free to move when raising or lowering auger.
• Never attempt to move auger manually. To do so
will result in serious injury.
• Before moving auger, check and double check for overhead obstructions and/
or electrical wires. Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
• Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor before moving auger or tractor and
secure in transport saddle (where applicable).
• Raise intake feed hopper into transport position and lock hopper lift winch
before transporting or moving auger. Intake feed side of hopper must face
main auger when in transport position.
• Do not operate auger with intake hopper in transport position. This will cause
damage to the u-joint.
2.7. MAINTENANCE SAFETY
• Shut down and lock out all power before attempting maintenance of any kind.
Turn off the tractor and disconnect the PTO driveline and hydraulic hoses
from the tractor.
• After maintenance is complete, replace and secure all safety guards and
safety devices, and if applicable, service doors and cleanout covers.
• Support auger tube before attempting maintenance on the undercarriage
assembly. Auger should be in full down position for maintenance.
• Use only genuine Wheatheart replacement parts or equivalent. Replacement
parts such as intake guards, pulley guards, PTO driveline shields, winches,
and lift cables must meet ASABE standards or serious injury may result. Use
of unauthorized parts will void warranty. If in doubt, contact Wheatheart or

Note:Due to rigidity of the tubular trussing, do not put an upward bow in the auger.
Assemble trussing with main auger tube straight/level and well supported over its
length. When assembling the truss system, DO NOT tighten any bolts until all
components are in place.
• See Figure 3.19 and Figure 3.22 for the X160-85.
• See Figure 3.20 and Figure 3.23 for the X160-105.
• See Figure 3.21 and Figure 3.24 for the X160-125.
When assembling the truss system, do not tighten any bolts until all compo-
nents are in place.
1. As shown in the appropriate figures (Figure 3.19, Figure 3.20, Figure 3.21),
attach pairs of low and high truss tower brackets to the truss-attach brackets
welded to the auger tube, using eight 1/2” x 1-1/2” bolts and locknuts per
truss tower pair.
2. Thread a 1” hex nut as far as possible onto the threaded rod end of a truss
adjust tube.
3. Insert the threaded rod end of the truss adjust tube into the truss anchor
bracket, and bolt the opposite end to a tube connect plate that has been first
bolted to the adjacent truss pair.
4. Thread an second 1” hex nut a short distance onto the threaded rod end of
the truss adjuster tube.
5. According to the diagram for your specific model, work from one end of the
tube toward the opposite end:
a. Install tube connect plates between truss tower pairs.
Note:Truss towers connect to their tube connect plate using two 1/2” x 2-1/2” bolt and
locknut.
Note:Five-bolt and seven-bolt tube connect plates are used in specific locations. When
installing the seven-bolt connect plates, ensure that the three 1/2” bolt holes
should be closest to the boot, and the 3/4” bolt hole should be closest to the
discharge spout.
b. Install truss tubes between tube connect plates.
c. Install short and long cross-brace tubes.
Note:Single cross-brace tubes are used between the two truss towers closest the
ends of the main auger tube, and two cross-brace tubes are required between all
other truss tower sets.
d. Install the remaining truss adjust tube.
6. Tighten all truss, tube, and cross-brace bolts and nuts, but do not tighten the
1” hex nuts on the truss adjust tubes.
7. Install pairs of cross-brace clamps where the cross-brace tubes cross in an
”X” pattern using two 7/16” x 1-1/4” bolts and locknuts.
8. Adjust the “outer” 1” hex nuts on the truss adjust tube until the truss tubes are
tight and the auger tube is straight (ie. appears flat and well aligned, and
does not have any noticeable bow).
9. Rotate the loose “inner” 1” hex nuts on the truss adjust tubes toward the
“outer” nut until they are locked tightly against their respective truss anchor
brackets.

the nut may be required), and bend cotter pin ends to secure it in place
7. Install dust cap.
8. Check that pressure of pre-inflated tires matches pressure indicated on tire
sidewall.
9. Mount wheels on hubs and attach with eight 5/8” wheel bolts.
1. Raise the discharge end of auger (e.g. with a front end loader and a strong
sling or with a chain or block and tackle). The height should be sufficient to
clear the undercarriage assembly.
WARNING
Do not remove tube support until the
assembly in this section has been completed.
2. Place undercarriage beneath tube assembly.
3. Connect the lower lift arms to the auger tube:
a. Lift and support the lower attach arms on either side of the auger tube
back-end brackets.
b. Position stabilizer brackets between the back-arm brackets and
corresponding lower reach arms, and secure the lower reach arms and
stabilizer brackets to the back-arm brackets with a tube frame pin, a lower
arm attach bushing, a 7/16” x 3-1/2” GR5 Bolt, and a 7/16” locknut on each
side. Tighten securely.
4. Fasten stabilizer braces to first set of holes (closest to the intake) through the
stabilizer brackets with one 5/8” x 2” bolt and locknut. Place one 5/8” x 2-1/4”
bolt and locknut in the remaining set of holes through the stabilizer braces.
5. Fasten the upper lift arms to the axle: use an axle frame pin, a 1/2” x 1-1/2”
GR8 bolt and a 1/2” locknut, and a 2” flat washer, 7/16” x 3 -1/2” bolt, and
7/16” locknut on each side. Tighten securely.
6. Attach the tubing cross braces between the upper lift arms by loosely
attaching the tubing cross braces using three 1/2” x 1-1/2” GR8 bolts, two
1/2” x 1-3/4” bolts, five 1/2” flat washers, and locknuts.
7. Attach the lift assist bracket to the track shoe as follows:
a. Align the lift assist with the track shoe, and insert the track shoe pin
through the lift assist and the track shoe (see Figure 3.28 for the correct
insertion side).
b. Add the track shoe bushing and then secure the bushing with a 7/16” x
3-1/2” bolt and locknut. Tighten securely.
8. Attach upper lift arms to the lift assist bracket as follows:
a. Raise and support the top of the upper lift arms into position on either side
of the lift assist, aligned with the frame pin holes on the lift assist.
b. Insert the tube frame pin through the top of the upper lift arms and lift
assist.
c. Secure the frame pin in place using a upper lift arm bushing, a
7/16” x 3-1/2” bolt, and a 7/16” locknuts on each side of the frame pin.
Tighten securely.
Track shoe must rest against track stop when
adjusting cable.
If this isn’t done, the auger can raise higher
than designed to lift, resulting in damage to
auger and possible injury to personnel.
Note:Although the lift cable is factory installed on the cylinder, make sure that the
cable clamps on the cylinder are secure and the cables are properly seated in
the cable sheaves before attaching the cable to the track shoe.
1. Ensure that all cylinders are in full down position, and that track shoe is
resting against the track stop.
2. Thread the lift cables around the circular cable beds on the outside edges of
the cable-attach rod on the track shoe (three lift cables for the X160-85, and
two lift cables for the X160-105/125 models).
WARNING
Unroll and straighten lift cables carefully
during installation. Ensure that there are no
kinks, loops, twists, or any visible defect in the
cables. Discard and replace cables that have
any visible defect.
Do not unroll cables on the ground or
otherwise expose cables to dirt or grit. Wipe
cables with a clean cloth to ensure that any
grit is removed before installation.
3. Pull the cables very tight, then secure with cable clamps on each cable (see
Figure 3.29 for an example using the X160-85).
Important:The X160-85 model requires four 5/16” cable clamps (19333) per cable, and the
X160-105/125 models require four 1/2” cable clamps (20606) per cable.
WARNING
Ensure that cable clamps are positioned with
the U-bolt portion of the clamp on the
unloaded side of the lift cables (see Figure
3.29).
Tighten 1/2” cable clamp nuts to 60 ft-lbs, and
5/16” cable clamp nuts to 35 ft-lbs, as
measured by a recently and accurately
calibrated torque wrench.
Failure to tighten the nuts properly could
cause the main auger tube to drop from a
raised position quickly and without warning,
and could lead to personal injury or death.
4. Tie up excess ends of lift cable with tape or cable ties.
Important:Lift cables will stretch with initial use. Check and adjust frequently.
Note:Elbow fittings are factory installed. Use thread sealant on fitting and hose threads
(not supplied.)
