Seals can leak, gears can wear, and the PTO shaft requires regular greasing and inspection for cracks or damage. | | Discharge & Auger Parts | Discharge Chute, Auger Flightings, Auger Bearings | For wagons equipped with a remixer, the auger is a high-wear component. The auger flightings gradually wear down and require replacement. | | Electrical & Scale Components | Scale Head (e.g., Avery Weigh-Tronix 640XL), Load Cells, Wiring Harnesses | The scale system is critical for accurate feed delivery. Moisture and dirt can cause electrical faults, requiring replacement of load cells or the scale display unit. | kelly ryan feed wagon parts diagram full
