A rail segment for use in a track assembly for supporting a stirring machine and mounted to a cylindrical grain bin having a longitudinal flange with a slot in a forward end portion of the flange and a connecting hole in a second end portion of the flange.
A grain spreading device that uses a pre-spreading device within a cone shaped guide to provide uniform distribution of grain. Specifically, the pre-spreading device has an opening therein such that a distance between the opening and the outer periphery of the pre-spreading device forms a shelf to direct grain toward the opening to provide a uniform distribution of the grain. Additionally, the pre-spreading device can have laser cut knockouts to adjust the pre-spreading device to a plurality of different spreading devices.
A rotor assembly for a grain dryer having a framework and a number of wipers secured to the framework. The framework has a number of primary supports that extend radially outwardly from the central axis and a number of secondary support members connected to the end of the primary support members and positioned to engage the shelf floor of the grain bin.

Abstract:
A dwelling assembly that has a continuous sidewall and an opening for a door and a window. A roof assembly is provided with first and second roofs that are spaced apart such that the outer roof acts as a heat shield for the inner roof to ensure the interior of the dwelling is a minimum temperature. In addition, ballast boxes are utilized in order to provide additional weight to the dwelling and a planting area in association with the dwelling assembly.

Abstract:
A pin member having a first section having a first rounded end and a second end and having a second section extending outwardly from the second end of the first section and having a diameter less than the diameter of the first section to form a shoulder. Extending from the shoulder is a third section having a diameter that is less than the diameter of the second section and that is an elongated cylindrical section that may be threaded. This pin member is inserted through a grain bin door jamb and cover to secure the door jamb and cover.
A grain bin assembly wherein the grain bin has a corrugated cylindrical wall and a roof structure having a plurality of triangular roof panels. The plurality of roof panels have rib junctions which form a gap. A vent assembly is positioned between the corrugated cylindrical wall and the roof structure. The vent assembly has a plurality of louvers positioned within the vent assembly. The vent assembly provides improved venting of the grain bin assembly.

Abstract:
A roof vent assembly wherein the grain bin has a corrugated cylindrical wall and a roof structure having a plurality of triangular roof panels. A vent assembly is connected to the roof. The vent assembly has a base. The base has a back wall, two side walls and a front wall which extend upwardly from the flange. The back wall and sidewalls are generally straight whereas the front wall extends outwardly to a point, peak or crest. When connected to the grain bin roof, the peak of the vent assembly is positioned to point upwardly. This peak prevents the build up of moisture and debris thereby extending the life of the grain bin roof assembly.
