I just dropped my 8" Nils and the shaft from the Clam plate off at the machine shop today. I can't wait to see what he comes up with.
Well, it seems like it should work out just fine. A simple sleeve to marry the two together. I got it all together with the drill then noticed the bearing on the clam plate was cocked. Took it all back down and straightened it out..... Put it all back together and tada! The bearing is cocked again. Whatever yo, I'll run it as soon as it isn't 50 degrees out and we get some ice. Until then I'll just wait it out.
Agronomist you have quite a bit tied up into cutting a hole in the ice.. I remember a sweet running model 30 video you made where is that machine?
get some tubing with a one inch inside diameter and two bolts to fit the clam plate and nils auger . and make a adaptor with two holes like this one for my lacko that slip over the nil's auger and the other slips over the shaft of the clam plate. then just run the bolts threw them. i got to get smaller bolts to use on mine.. by the way i used 1 inch emt or electrical metallic tubing to make the adaptor about 8 inches long Problem is you end up 5 ft tall.
He wacked me for 70 bucks.... Kinda pricey, but still cheaper than buying a different auger and an extension.
OMG! Serious?
Does anyone know if Ice Gator's Nils adapter will work on the clam plate?
I'll get some 1 inch emt and give it a try. Did you insert some kind of sleeve to go over the plate connecting rod, because it's much less than 1 inch OD?
