Magnum 7500 Pellet Furnace Auger Upgrade Kit Install ?

[Don2222]

Hello
This Magnum 7500 was not feeding pellets consistently with the old Auger that has the tab end that sits between the ears of the auger motor shaft collar. Sometimes the pellets push the auger out away from the motor because there is no physical connector holding the auger motor shaft to the auger!
Therefore we installed the new auger and bracket upgrade kit.
Has anyone ever done this? Seems to work better.

How do you like the 7500 stove? Does it throw a lot of heat? Was thinking about getting one or the amazing blaze corn furnace.

It is very similar to this one.

It goes right into the air ducts and heats the whole house. I like the 5 bag hopper and with an 8 rpm auger motor it cranks out the pellets. The 1240 CFM Blower blows out a ton of heat!

Thanks for the reply. Makes a difference when someone has one to ask questions.
