Why is there excessive noise or vibration in my Westfield 10-31 Farm Equipment?

  Excessive noise or vibration in your Westfield Farm Equipment can stem from various issues. It could be due to chatter from wooden bearings; in this case, try spraying penetrating lubricant between the shaft and bearing surface, as bearings will break in over time. Incorrectly adjusted truss cables can also cause this problem; support the end of the auger and adjust the cables so the auger is flat or curves slightly upwards. Other potential causes include flighting peeled back due to plugging (inspect the spout end and replace flight sections if necessary), inadequate lubrication of the top drive (fill with grease, not oil), bent flighting sections (straighten or replace them), or an obstruction in the tube (inspect for cloth, trash, or oily crop buildup).

What to do if drive belts are jumping off pulleys on my Westfield 10-31?

  Drive belts jumping off pulleys in your Westfield Farm Equipment can be caused by several factors. First, ensure that the motor is correctly aligned so that the drive and driven pulleys are properly aligned. Mismatched belts can also be a culprit; check the assembly section of your manual for the correct belt sizes and replace belts in pairs. Inadequate belt tension can also cause this issue; maintain the correct tension as specified in the assembly section. Finally, using a lower horsepower motor than recommended can lead to belts jumping off; consult your manual for the recommended motor sizes.

How to prevent premature wear on auger tubes of Westfield 10-31 Farm Equipment?
- S
  Samantha BartonSep 1, 2025
  Premature wear on auger tubes in Westfield Farm Equipment can occur if the auger is run at low capacity or empty for an extended period, which frequently happens on farms using grain wagons. To prevent this, avoid leaving the auger unattended when filling bins. Depending on the application, a belt conveyor may be a more suitable option. Additionally, allowing the flighting to wear beyond the normal point of replacement can contribute to premature wear. When the flighting becomes razor-thin at the intake, replacement is critical because the double thickness at welded lap joints creates high spots that can accelerate spot tube wear.
