You say the belts look fine and are free to turn. How about the auger
itself? Can it be turned? It sounds like you have something in the
final auger drive or the auger itself that is totally jammed. I found
a small rock that caused the problem in mine. It jammed the auger way
in back and hard to spot.

Hi.

Thanks to everyone that responded.

When the problem began, augers could still turn somewhat but the
impeller was jammed. My first thought was that it was jammed with a
rock, but when I first looked for a cause I didn't find anything
jamming the impeller

I took a closer look last night in better light and sure enough there
was a small rock, just big enough to jam the impeller, way back in a
hard to see spot. I managed to chip the rock out and now the impeller
turns fine! Thanks to those who suggested it, as it made me take a
closer look. I was starting to think it was gear problem.

Thanks again,
Corey
