Two more augers to recondition

[Agronomist_at_IA]

Picked these up for free. Sharpening the one set of blades they had. Both were in good shape. Little clean up and see how it turns out.

Might have to start doing that.

I should restore a few.ive got quite a few of the older fold up style offset  handle moras that are pretty extinct now.

If you want to bring them up to date like the new mora augers so you can use with all the new stuff. Just get a $15 clam extention like this.



The screw in Handel and the folding will slide into the extention and you can drill holes for the height adjustments on the old handle.



Cut the actual eXtension part on the clam extension off. Now the handle tube can slide all the way through the top part of the clam extension. This is what you want.

Then cut the top off on the auger (folding stem/screw top). Now you should have the main tube which is hallow. Insert the top part of the clam extension you cut off and weld it to the auger tube top.

You’ll have an updated mora auger with adjustable height handle, and can use all the new adaptors with it. An offset handle will be nice to drill with.....if you don’t use an electric drill.

I haven’t got around to it yet....but I’m planning on doing this with my 10in folding handle mora. That way I can easily change out the handle and put it on my clam plate. It also will bring it up to date to use with my clam plate and other extensions.

It cost about $15 for the clam extension so pretty cheap part bring it up to date.

Right the handles like on the 10" mora i wouldnt mi d modding but i prefer the offst and fold up part but im talking the super old mora that have folding offset handles that are already adjustable.they are heavy and have a rubber and brass insert where the handle goes in.i will take pics one day.ive havent seen many like them.

Pretty much done. Waiting on a blade cover and blades for the one.

Tried out the other cut like butter.

Have a chance to get an old Model 30 Jiffy with both 8 and 10" bits.  Might get it since it is only $75 and a one owner.

I might do it just to add to my old fishing collection. Sand it all down and repaint it. Sharpen the blades and admire it.

I haven't contacted the guy yet but will today. For a young man out doing this Ice fishing thing it would be perfect. Thanks for the offer on the repair stuff. Will keep that in mind for sure.
