I have an older whitfield Advantage II stove. The auger keeps binding up. I have pulled it off several times now and cleaned and reassembled. The motor runs fine not connected to the auger shaft. There is a lot of play in the shft up and down. I tried shimming it but it still binds Even with no pellets it turns for awhile but binds again. While turning it is making a binding noise, not a happy noise. Why does it appears to have so much play? bottom bushing is new.
Any ideas?
