Older nils adapter

[jackhollio]

Anybuddy out there converted the Old Style Nils with the 3 inch wide head tube to a drill adapter?
I know the shaft tube is 7/8 ID and wondering if drilling thru the center of the top cross tube and into the mail and useing a thru bolt on a HT 1/2 inch adapter shaft will work.

Thanks,

The StrikeMaster adapter NDA-3 has an 18mm (most hand augers) and 22 mm(most power auger) Clam also makes an adapter to go from Nils onto the Clam plate output shaft (18mm)

You may need some height ..so adding a power auger extension and then the NDA-3 ..may need some tape to take up the slop some

The K-Drill adapter may work as well.

 Jack are you talking about the original Tanaka hand auger with the T top , long before the change to nills
 I found a bent one , a machinist straightened it , cut the T off and added a drill adapter for me

[jackhollio]

Yes thats the one I have, (w/T-Top)
Thanks for the info.
