1. INTRODUCTION WHEATHEART - X13 SERIES AUGERS
1.1. OVERVIEW X1374, X1384, X1394
1.1. OVERVIEW
X13 augers are equipped with standard features that include a hydraulically
controlled main auger tube lift, a low-profile grain hopper (left or right side
operation), service access doors, and a PTO driveline for auger power.
Available option kits include:
• Hydraulic Winch
• Hydraulic Power Swing for Hopper
• Electric Power Swing for Hopper
• Right Angle Drive
• 540 RPM PTO Reverser
• 1000 RPM PTO Drive and Reverser
1.1.1. AUGER POWER SOURCE
The power source for the auger is a standard 540 RPM tractor PTO (see Figure
1.1). An optional Right-Angle PTO Drive kit allows the auger to be powered by a
tractor positioned at a 90 degree angle to the auger (Figure 1.2).
An optional 1000 RPM PTO Drive kit provides a speed reducer that allows use
with 1000 RPM PTO tractors, as well as reverser capability that is used to rotate
the auger flightings in the reverse direction (transferring grain in the auger tube
back to the hopper).
An optional 540 RPM Reverser kit provides a similar reverser capability for
540 RPM PTO connections.

Figure 1.3 Grain Transfer Boot
1. INTRODUCTION WHEATHEART - X13 SERIES AUGERS
1.1. OVERVIEW X1374, X1384, X1394
PTO driveline connection (including connection to the optional 540 RPM PTO
Reverser and 1000 RPM PTO Drive) is provided on the back of the boot, above
the tractor hitch (and hitch jack).
The ball valve used to raise or lower the main auger tube is located on the side of
the boot (see figure below), as is the manual winch used to raise and lower the
grain hopper (see section 6.1. for further information on auger controls).
Several access hatches are provided for maintenance and repair (the swing arm
spout head access hatch is shown below), as well as an overflow panel on the
swing-arm spout head and a clean-out hatch at the bottom of the boot.
1.1.3. GRAIN HOPPER
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.
The grain hopper must be lifted and secured for transport using the hopper lift
arm, winch (hydraulic or manual operation, according to the installed option), and
transport chain and hook (see Figure 1.5).
The grain hopper provides service to the side of the auger that it is installed on,
but the hopper, lift arm, and winch can be quickly reconfigured to install the
hopper on the other side if required.
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.
DO NOT operate with guards removed or
modified.
Keep hands and feet away from rotating
auger.
Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
DO NOT wear loose-fitting clothing or items
that could become caught.
Shut off and lock out the power source before
unplugging or cleaning.

1.1.4. AUGER TUBE HYDRAULIC LIFT
The auger tube is raised and lowered using two 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.
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”

1. Align tube sections on a series of support stands, placing a support stand at
the end of each tube. If possible, make sure that support stand height is
equal across all tubes to ensure that tubes are level with each other.
Otherwise, use some form of shim to keep the tubes level across all of the
support stands.
Important: Always strap tubes to the support stands to prevent the tubes from rolling off the
stands and onto the floor.
2. Working from the spout end (upper tube) to the discharge end (lower tube),
connect the tubes together as shown in Figure 3.4, as described below:
a. Align flightings to ensure a continual spiral of auger surface, and connect
flight shafts with 1/2” x 4” bolts and 1/2” locknuts.
b. As flight shafts are connected, slide tube sections together and secure with

There are two cable runs on the X130-74, a long cable run between the upper
tube and the lower tube, and a short cable run between the lower tube and the
upper middle tube:
• The first (short) run is made up of a single 73’ cable.
• The second (long) run is made up of two separate cables: one 85’ 6” long
and one 36’ long.
See Table 3.8. for a list of parts required to install the X130-74 truss cables. See
Figure 3.13 for a detailed diagram.

18990 3/8” cable clamps 12
19333 5/16” cable clamps 10
17750 1/2” locknuts 6
Note: X130-74 truss cables should be tightened to provide a 1” upward bow in the
auger tube, as measured at the auger tube spout end.
1. Ensure that the tube is supported by at least 3 stands (one at each end and
one in the middle).
2. Shim the stands (use wood blocks) at the spout end approximately
7” (17.8 cm) higher than the other stands to provide the required curve.
3. For the first (short) cable run, attach an eyebolt to each end of the 73’ truss
cable using two 3/8” cable clamps, doubling-back about
12” (30.5 cm) of cable.
4. Connect one of the eyebolts to one side of the truss cable attach bracket
using a 1/2” locknut threaded fully onto the eyebolt shaft, but not further than
1/4”.
5. Pull the cable:
• over the high (middle) truss tower,
• under the tube and around the middle cable return bracket,
• back over the middle cable bridge,
• and back to the truss cable attach bracket
6. Connect the second eyebolt on the remaining end of the cable to the other
side of the truss cable attach bracket using a 1/2” locknut threaded fully onto
the eyebolt shaft, but not further than 1/4”.
7. For the second (long) cable run:
• Thread the 36’ cable through the cable guide on the underside of the

3. ASSEMBLY WHEATHEART - X13 SERIES AUGERS
3.10. AUGER TUBE TRUSS ASSEMBLY X1374, X1384, X13 94
• Attach eyebolts to the ends of the 36’ cable [20090] with two 3/8” cable
clamps [18990], using about 10" (25.4 cm) - 12" (30.5 cm) of cable.
Tighten securely.
• Insert each eyebolt into a separate turnbuckles, and secure by threading
on a 1/2” locknut fully onto the eyebolt shaft, but not further than 1/4”.
8. Starting at the lower tube, pull the 85’6” cable:
• over the low and high truss towers (fasten loosely with 5/16” cable
clamps)
• under the tube and around the cable return bracket at the upper tube (fasten loosely with a 5/16” cable clamp)
• back over the truss towers on the opposite side (fasten loosely with 5/16”
cable clamps), providing equal lengths of cable on both sides of the tube.
Important: The 85’ 6” cable must be installed on the outside of the high (middle) truss tower .
9. Insert an eyebolt into the unconnected side of each of the turnbuckles (whose
other sides are connected to the 36’ cable), and secure by threading on a 1/2”
locknut fully onto the eyebolt shaft, but not further than 1/4”.
10. Thread the end of each side of the 85’6” cable through the appropriate
turnbuckle eyebolt, and pull the cable snug. Double-back the cable and
secure in place with 2 cable clamps doubling-back about 12”
(30.5 cm) of cable.
Note: If there isn’t enough cable, loosen the clamps on the opposite eyebolt and adjust
the cable. Retighten clamps.
Important: Truss cables must be tightened to provide a 1” upward bow on the spout end.
Blocks and shims can be used to elevate the spout to help create the required
bow while tightening the truss cables, but the 1” bow is measured with the spout
end unsupported.
11. Tighten the eyebolts on the second (long) cable run evenly to take the
remaining slack out of the truss cable. Once this cable run is tightened,
repeat for the first (short) cable run.
12. Check for proper side-to-side alignment and then tighten the cable clamps on
the cable bridges and the cable return brackets.

3.10.2. X130-84/X130-94 AUGER TUBE TRUSS ASSEMBLY
INSTALL X130-84/X130-94 TRUSS TOWERS AND TRUSS TUBES
See Table 3.9. for a list of part s required to install the X130-84/X130-94 truss
towers and truss tubes, as well as for figure references that apply to the
diagrams below.
• For the X130-84 models, see Figure 3.14 and Figure 3.15.
• For the X130-94 models, see Figure 3.16 and Figure 3.17.
Note: Due to rigidity of the tubular trussing, X130-84 and X130-94 truss tubes should
be tightened to provide only a small upward bow (approximately 1”) at the auger
tube spout end.
Note: When assembling the truss system, do not fully tighten any bolts until specifi-
cally instructed to do so.
1. Attach p airs of low and high truss tower brackets to the truss-attach
brackets welded to auger tube, using four of 7/16” x 1-1/4” bolts and locknuts
per pair.
2. Thread a 1” hex nut as far as possible onto the threaded rod end of a long
adjuster tube.
3. Insert the threaded rod end of the long adjuster tube into the truss tube
anchor, and bolt the opposite end to a truss joiner plate that has been first
bolted to the adjacent low truss tower.
4. Thread an second 1” nut a short distance onto the threaded rod end of the
long adjuster tube.
5. Work from one end of the tube toward the centre and install:
a. Install tube truss joiner plates between truss tower pairs.
Note: Truss towers connect to their truss joiner plate using a 1/2” x 1-1/2” bolt and
locknut.
Note: T russ joiner plates must be oriented correctly when installed. Always ensure that
the three 7/16” bolt holes should be closest to the discharge spout, and the 5/8”
bolt hole should be closest to the boot.
b. long tubes between truss joiner plates bolted between high truss pairs;
Note: Truss tubes connect to truss joiner plates using three 7/16'' x 1-3/4'' bolts and
locknuts where there are three bolt holes on the end of the tube, and with a
single 5/8'' x 2'' bolt and locknut where there is a single bolt hole at the end of the
tube. A four-hole truss adjuster plate is required.
c. cross-brace tubes between truss joiner plates and tabs between truss
tower pairs (keep cross-brace bolts loose until Step 13.)
Note: A single cross-brace tube is positioned between the low truss towers and
adjacent high truss towers. Two cross braces tubes are required between two
adjacent
high truss towers.
Note: Cross-brace tubes use 1/2” x 1-1/2” bolts and locknuts at the truss joiner plate
and at the tab between truss tower pairs.
6. Install the tube adjust plate, and attach the short adjuster tube to it as follows:
a. bolt the tube adjust plate between the high truss tower bracket pair (see
the diagram for your specific model);
40 30787 R1
WHEATHEART - X13 SERIES AUGERS 3. ASSEMBLY
X1374, X1384, X1394 3.10. AUGER TUBE TRUSS ASSEMBLY
b. thread a 1” nut fully onto the threaded rod end of a short adjuster tube,
then insert threaded rod into the truss tube adjuster plate;
c. thread a second 1” nut a short distance onto the threaded rod.
7. Repeat the above process for the discharge side of the tube.
8. Ensure that the 1” nuts on the long and short adjuster tubes are loose. Pairs
of 1” nuts on adjuster tubes (short and long) should be rotated away from
each other to ensure that the nuts are not placing any tension on the truss
tubes or truss brackets.
9. Ensure that auger tube sections are supported in such a way that the tube is
as straight as possible. Use additional supports, shims, and blocks as
required.
10. Long adjust tubes:
• Rotate the 1" hex nut pairs on both long adjust tubes toward each other
until they lock together tightly on either side of their respective truss tube
anchors (spout end and boot end).
• When fully tightened, the truss tower brackets should remain positioned at
a 90 degree angle with respect to the auger tube, and should not lean to
either side.
11. Short adjust tubes:
• Tighten the two 1" hex nuts on the inside of the tube adjust plate until
there is enough tension in the truss tubes to create a slight upward bow in
the tube (1” as measured from the tube support and the top of the tube,
just before the tube cap).
• When tightening the nuts, alternate between the two nuts frequently
enough to ensure that they are tightened equally, and that the same
amount of threaded rod is exposed on each side.
• Rotate the remaining 1” nuts on the short adjuster tubes until they lock
tightly on each side of the tube adjust plate.
12. 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, and tighten fully.
13. Fully tighten cross-brace tube nuts at the truss joiner plates and at the tab
between truss tower pairs.
14. Check that all nuts are firmly tightened.

3.20. AUGER-TO-TRACTOR HOOKUP
Important: Auger must be correctly connected to the tractor for all operations, including
transport, raising, placement, and augering grain.
The final stage of the assembly is attaching the auger to the tractor.
When attaching the auger to your tractor, you must leave the correct spacing
between the bottom of the tractor drawbar and the top of the securing device on
the hitch pin.
• To secure, use 2 nuts locked against each other.
• The space should be about 3/4" (1.91 cm) to 1" (2.54 cm) as shown below
• The bolt/hitch pin must be 1” x 5” minimum.
Figure 3.42 Auger-to-Tractor Hookup
MEASUREMENTS BETWEEN DRAWBAR AND DRIVELINE
Since the auger and tractor become an integral unit during transport, placement,
and operation, the configuration and measurements between the tractor drawbar
and the tractor PTO driveline are very important.
The figure below illustrates the ideal measurements. Most tractors fall into this
range.
• Dimension (B) may range from 6” (15.2 cm) to 10” (25.4 cm) with 8” (20.3
cm) being ideal.
• If dimensions (A) and (B) on your tractor are as shown, then dimension
(C), which is critical, will be correct.
• If (A) and (B) vary on your tractor from the recommended dimensions,
consult the table below for potential problems and their solutions.

3. Ensure that the intake hopper is correctly positioned.
4. Ensure that the PTO drive on the tractor is in the OFF position.
5. Start the tractor and idle at low rpm. Slowly engage the PTO drive.
Note: The auger may run rough until the tube is polished.
6. Gradually begin feeding grain into the hopper, bringing the auger speed up to
about 300 rpm. Do not overfeed the hopper on initial loads; keep the feed of
grain at about half capacity.
7. After the auger tube is polished and runs fairly smoothly, proceed to unload
at full speed of 540 rpm.
8. Upon completion of the initial run, slow the auger down. Stop the auger when
it is empty of grain.

9. Lock out the tractor and conduct a complete inspection of the auger following
the checklist on page 89.
Important: After the initial start-up and inspection, the auger should be shut down and
inspected at least 3 more times during the first 10 hours of operation.
NOTICE
Do not run an empty auger at high speed; this results in
excessive wear. Do not exceed 540 RPM.
6.3.2. NORMAL START
NOTICE
Foreign objects can damage the auger. Remove any
obstructions from the intake and discharge areas before
operating the unit.
1. Complete the checklist on page 89.
2. Place the intake hopper in its working position.
3. Make sure the PTO drive is in the off position when starting the tractor .
4. Engage the PTO with the tractor idling to prevent unneeded stress on the
drive components and shear bolts.
5. If everything is operating normally, start running grain through the auger and
bring the auger up to speed. Maintain a speed of 300–540 rpm for maximum
efficiency and to reduce the chance of plugging.
DANGER
Rotating Flighting Hazard!
To prevent death or serious injury:
• Keep away from rotating auger flighting.
• Do not remove or modify auger flighting
guards, doors, or covers. Keep in good
working order. Have replaced if damaged.
• Do not operate the auger without all
guards, doors, and covers in place.
• Never touch the auger flighting. Use a
stick or other tool to remove an obstruction or clean out.
• Shut off and lock out power to adjust, service, or clean.
• Monitor the auger during operation for abnormal noises or vibrations.
30787 R1 91
6. OPERATION WHEATHEART - X13 SERIES AUGERS
USE OF GRAIN SPREADERS: Many grain spreaders cannot handle the
large capacity of some augers. Some augers plug, causing damage to the
flighting and other drive components. This type of damage is not covered by
warranty. Hints on how to avoid this...
• Make sure spreader is turned on.
• Center auger spout on spreader.
• Get a larger spreader, if available.
• Remove the spreader.
• Do not lower auger spout into spreader.
• Suspend the spreader from bin ceiling leaving extra room for excess
grain to flow over the spreader.
BIN LEVEL INDICATORS: These augers are fast and bins fill up quickly. A
full bin will cause auger to plug, which can damage the flighting and other
drive components. Installing quality grain-level indicators on your bins will
allow you to monitor bin filling and help prevent damage to your auger.
6.3. OPERATING PROCEDURES X1374, X1384, X1394
• If grain overflows through safety discharge door, then the auger is loaded
beyond its capacity; reduce volume of feed going into intake hopper. Remember, auger capacity will decrease as the auger’s angle increases.
6.3.3. NORMAL SHUTDOWN
NOTICE
Prolonged operation of an empty auger will cause
unnecessary wear.
1. Near the end of the load, reduce the feed of grain and decrease the auger
speed where possible.
2. Run the auger until the tube is empty.
3. When the auger is clear of grain, turn off power to the PTO.
4. Shut down and lock out the power source.

6.3.4. EMERGENCY STOP / FULL-TUBE RESTART
Although it is recommended that the machine be emptied before stopping, in an
emergency situation:
1. Stop or shut down the power source immediately.
2. Stop the flow of material (if applicable).
3. Correct the emergency before resuming work.
The tube may be filled with material if the machine is shut down inadvertently or
for an emergency. It is recommended that you restart with the following
procedure:
4. With the power source locked out, remove as much of the grain as possible
from the tube and intake using a piece of wood, vacuum cleaner, or other
tool. Do not use your hands.
5. If cleanout covers or safety doors have been opened or removed, close or
replace them before restarting the unit.
6. Start the tractor and engage the PTO with the tractor idling.
NOTICE
Always engage PTO with tractor engine idling. Engaging
PTO at high engine speed will result in equipment damage.
7. Bring slowly up to speed.
8. Once the auger has been started, you may resume normal operation.
