Align leading edge (2) of the auger parallel with left sidewall (6) of the scraper bowl.
Cut square tubing (4) to an approximate length of 122 cm (48 inch).
Weld a piece of plate to one end of square tubing (4) .
Lay square tubing (4) in the scraper bowl between leading edge (2) and left sidewall (6). Place the end of square tubing (4) with the plate end against leading edge (2) .
Lay down a 8 cm (3 inch) weld at location (3). Lay down the same weld on the other side of square tubing (4). Lay down a 8 cm (3 inch) weld at location (5). Lay down the same weld on the other side of square tubing (4) .
