DRTJD Auger Drum Repair Tool fits John Deere

Repair Rock-Damaged John Deere Auger Drums Right in the Field

When a rock enters your header, it can leave a dent in the cross auger drum that stops your harvest cold. The retractable fingers inside the drum rely on a true, round housing to extend and retract correctly. Even a small dent can cause fingers to bind, break, or stop feeding crop evenly. The TrueLine Auger Reconditioning Tool lets you fix that damage on the spot, without pulling the auger, hauling it to a shop, or waiting days for a replacement drum.

How It Works

The TrueLine kit uses two precision steel dies shaped to match the original curve of the John Deere auger drum. A 15 ton hydraulic ram, powered by the included hand pump, drives the dies against the damaged area, pressing the dented metal back out and reforming the drum to its correct profile. Once the curve is restored, the retractable fingers can move freely through the housing again, and your header is back to feeding crop the way it was designed to.

Key Benefits

• In-field repair: Fix dents where they happen and get back to harvesting in a fraction of the time a shop repair takes.
• No outside power needed: The manual hand pump operates the hydraulic ram, so there's no need to hook up to tractor hydraulics, a compressor, or a generator.
• Restores finger function: Reforming the drum's curve allows retractable fingers to extend and retract properly again.
• Matched steel dies: Two steel dies are shaped to the John Deere drum profile for an accurate, consistent repair.
• 15 tons of controlled force: The hydraulic ram reshapes the metal evenly and gradually, reducing the risk of creasing or over-correction.
• Saves on replacement costs: Recondition the drum you already have instead of buying a new one.
• Reduces downtime: Avoid lost harvest days waiting on parts or service appointments.
