Does anyone have a picture of a JG auger knuckle? I thought there was one on the forum but I cant find it.

It goes between the pot auger and bin auger.

Here is most of one. They are 3 pieces. If I remember correctly, the split part goes on the pot auger pipe and the solid part goes on the bin auger pipe.

This one is from a bigger GJ. Not the smaller GJ-51.

Hope that helps,

would that allow you to have the bin auger at an angle compared to the pot auger?

the old add I found says it would but they don't show a picture.

the knuckle that joins the augers is what I'm looking for if you have it?

It's just a stainless steel sleeve with pins.
