Hey guys, I'm having a problem with the arm that rotates the auger I believe, not sure exactly what it's called. Basically the piece that connects to the motor that feeds the coal fell down and I can't get it to stay on, so now it can't feed the coal in the stove and the fire keeps going out. I'll attach a picture with a screwdriver pointing to the part I'm talking about that keeps falling off.

if anyone knows a good solution to this or how it can be fixed that would be greatly appreciated! I put a little JB weld on, but it doesn't seem to be holding. I can't think of any other way to temporarily hold it until I can get it fixed the right way, or buy a new one, not sure the best route to take. Again any input would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks again!

Welcome to the forum dgozz.
There is a bolt that holds it on. I don't know what size it is, I don't have a paddle feeder any more to look at. The easiest thing to do is get a flashlight and look around on the floor and under the stove. The bolt should be there somewhere.

Thatks for the reply stoked Dan. after looking at it for awhile I realized that a screw does indeed go in there but the thing is there was never one in there. I bought this stove at the begining of this year and ran it without the screw in there until today. I know there wasn't one in there because at first I thought it was a spot for a grease nipple, and wondered why it wasn't there. But if anyone knows the size I need that would be great! Thanks again guys!
