Just recently i have been getting this squeak from my auger motor. I pulled the whole assembly out and cleaned it up. But still getting the noise. It sounds like the gear box to me maybe?? Thoughts?

Video won't play. Some have tried putting a little oil in backside of motor to quiet them down. Others have torn them apart and regreased the gears. You can check and make sure the allen screw is holding the auger tight to the shaft. May just be time for a new one. kap
