I read that the old feeder body would get blocked & the fix was putting the
tube on the outside of the feeder body

Don't know where you could have read that. The issue was, with some Harman stove installations, air would backfeed a bit into the auger, and was called "gummy stove" syndrome. You can find it on the net, or search box here. The original fix was to drill some holes, pretty much a very time consuming job, then a tech figured out installing a hose. This was tested,and became an approved repair. Then later the feeder units were changed, not for this, but for changing the auger drive systems. Was supposed to make them quieter. If you want to do something, install just the hose kit on your stove.Not hard, and even if you do not have an issue, it will prevent it, and a side effect is stove will most likely run cleaner. The kit is cheap,readily available and comes with instructions.
