Anyone know how to reattach the handle on the Normark Fin-Bore III auger ?
For the life of me I can't figure it out.
Maybe a rubber O-ring is missing?
Any help will be appreciated.

I couldn't wait forever waiting for you guys to solve my problem
so I went to Home Depot to see what might help.
I had already pulled out my calipers and measured the auger shaft as .72".
When I saw the 5/8" ID washers in the plumbing section (the red rubber kind used for washing machine hose, etc) I figured it was worth a shot.
So I folded the washer and pinched it with a pair of forceps and installed in handle in a slot that was 2" up from the bottom.
It fit is that slot nice.
Then I rubbed some water on the auger shaft to lube it a bit before I installed the handle.
When the water dried, the handle firmly was in place yet still rotated.
Not sure if this was the optimal solution, but good enough!
