Posthole Digger trouble finding a replacement auger

KenKubota · Oct 15, 2011

Hi there, I have a 3 pt post hole digger and would like to replace the auger. The trouble is, I don't know the brand of the unit and the auger seems to be an odd size. The round smooth drive shaft coming out of the gear box is 1 3/8 or 35 mm in diameter. It slides into the top end of the auger shaft that has an internal diameter to fit. Any idea where I can find an auger of this size? Thanks

Cant help with that exactly, but around my area, there are quite a few welding shops that will repair an old auger cheeper than buying a new one. The replace the screw tips and repair the rest. New teeth also.

There are some PHD diggers here that have a 1 3/8" output shaft.Mole Tractor Mounted Post Hole Diggers

If you strike out with the link from whistlepig, and it's worth the cost, a machine shop could make an adapter "sleve" to go to a std. 2" round that is comonly used on skid steer augers and there are many sizes available.
