Sadly this is the first time I have ever used the chuck. When I bought the Haas TL-1 lathe used, it came with some equipment for threading gun barrel. The chuck was one of the items.

My skill or luck for machining has been shit the last few days. I had a ton of issues with the hydraulic motor base plate. Lets just say things moved a couple different times due to stupidity.
Test fitting the clamping ring onto the main tube.
Hole fitment check.
Fits like a glove. Top lid will be the the piece that fell out of the clamping ring during machining.
This weekend I will try to build the mount attachment and shaft bearing cap. Ebay seller should be shipping the shaft material by friday, he is waiting on packing material......its fucking solid metal. Tape it together and shove cardboard in the box.

Machined tabs from a 1/2in flat plate. The near perfect size of hole to bar does come back to haunt me later on. Should have machined to 1.255 or 1.26 to avoid binding when I wended everything together. Program cut the last 2 at the same time which jammed the end mill at the very end when the broke loose.
Jammed the wash down hose into the tube since coolant nozzles would not make it. Tube was flipped between setups to get the vertical and horizontal hole bored thru tube.
Tig welded the 1.5in DOM cross tubes into the square tubing mount. I need alot more practice but they should hold for now. This setup was a absolute bastard to take back apart and required beating the living shit out of the bar. Once out the holes needed a little bit of sanding with a dremel before they were perfect again.
Clocking the top mount to the main tube hole.
Pallet mount tabs
Saving some material for the auger seat.
Looks like a cannon but I will have pictures tomorrow of it mounted to tractor.

I'd be more interested in a cannon build 
Thats what I was thinking when I put the auger together. Did I build a cannon or a auger????I'd be more interested in a cannon build

A good enough cannon should double as an auger.........
I see no reason why you cant shoot holes into the ground

Seems like a lot of not-so-necessary machining work for something that doesn't need any accuracy at all.
Couldn't you just farmer all that stuff together and live with 1 inch of slop?
(disregard if you're just practicing all the machining stuff, I'm no one to criticize, I've had my big mill and lathe for years and still haven't spun anything).

Wife wants me out of her hair and I have the machines. I need to justify the machines to her so accuracy is what it gets and its relaxing to machine.
a farmer setup would have been alot easier. The mount was honestly a waste of effort since a backing plate can be purchased from titan attachments for $232 shipped. 3/8 plate to boot. I might just buy one.

I fucked up a few times but I was able to shift the holes over. I fucked up the motor plate probably 3 times.
AKA wasting time on a mount. This would have been alot easier
Pictures of unit mounted up.
Mount worked well and auger hung vertical without help.
Stand works for turning the auger system horizontal to clean dirt off.

The rear if the auger was on a pendulum mount.
But in reality it doesn't matter much front of rear, both are so much better than a PTO auger it's no comparison.
When the only tool you have is a hammer.....
Sometimes when you have all the nice machines, it's hard to not use them, even if it means the project will take 4x as long. It's even more fun when you're like me and suck at it so the end product is worse than the farmer version.

Stand is for carrying around. To clean the dirt off you just lift above the hole and spin it. That flings all the material off the flights. You don’t want to be moving it around once you start a hole

I wish I had a drill press some days so stuff would be quicker.
Fingers crossed I can actually drill 48 inches into the ground. The land has granite rocks all over the place.
I broke down this morning and purchased a titan quick attach plate in 3/8 thickness. Moving the auger mount on and off the tractor was annoying. The mount works but might be better suited for something lighter in weight to allow for the mount to be removed easier.

3/8 solid mount plate is BEEFY especially for that little fella.I wish I had a drill press some days so stuff would be quicker.

At least it'll up how much downpressure you'll have.

Are you planning on adding a 2 inch receiver on that boom for trailer moving duty?
Could maybe just make something that would fit in the receiver, then slide a pin through that universal joint mount you built.
Like one of these, but "female" instead of male.

1/4 to 3/8 plate was only $30 more versus $142 to go from 1/4 to 1/2 thick.
Better to be overkill then rip out parts when lifting auger. I will probably still add a tube frame on front to add stiffness.

Wasnt planning on adding one yet but could in the future. Some how I dont own a trailer yet. Sold mine about 14 years ago.

Dude....is it too late to cancel that?
I don't even need one of those at the moment but for $140 shipped for the 3/8 plate version I can't not order one.
Unless he has a "spinoff" function rigged up the auger isn't going to spin fast enough to get anything but loose dirt to come off like that.
Our drill rig rotary tables are equipped with three motors/gear reduction units. When drilling the two big motors on top and the small one on the bottom all work together in unison. When you come out of the hole and press the "spinoff" button to clean the auger hydraulic pressure disconnects the top two motors/reductor gears and all the pressure and flow is fed through the tiny motor on the bottom thats still coupled to the ring gear making the bar and auger spin quite fast to fling clay and mud off. It only works in reverse and there is a free flow valve in the system that let's you let off the joystick and the auger to gradually slow to a stop. If you hit the spinoff button while the auger is still moving it will either grind the fuck out of the top gears until the teeth catch and slam the bar/auger to a stop or it will blow the spinoff motor right off the bottom of the rotary.
I know. It's scary how cheap you can get them. Makes it easy to have dedicated special attachments too.
I was planning on making one of these so I could hang 3 point attachments from my telehandler (once I get the SSQA adapter made for it), but fuck me, I couldn't buy the extra steel and pins for what this whole thing costs.

You do that with our rigs and you knock teeth off the bull gear in the rotary case. I have several bull gear tooth paperweights on my desk at the shop from the customers who didn't believe me.

I'm trying to think of a non-redneck scenario where a 3pt hitch and attachment on a telehandler doesn't turn into a "hold my beer and watch this" moment, and I'm having a hard time thinking of one.

So the hydraulic motor absorbs the shockloading and blows apart.

Like I said....the boom pole would come in handy to give me a bit more reach with light loads.
Then again, this just sent me down the rabbit hole of hydraulic telescoping boom poles for skid steers and now I need to keep an eye out for a long hydraulic cylinder at the scrap yard.
God dam. Unable to cancel on the website but will keep the one ordered. Some of the reviews point to fitment issues and that worries me when hanging upside down.
Future attachements will receive the cheaper setup.

I cant even buy material for that cost.
Hijack away. Tits and Ass would make it even better.
I see some bouncing the auger off the seat in the future to clear dirt off.
