    Hello

    I have a old St. Croix Prescott EXL with the wire channel fell off the back of the hopper and the auger collar set allen head screw kept turning so it would not be tight. In other words stripped!

    Does anyone have these 2 problems?
    How does this look?
    Alot easier now to remove the auger motor with a socket wrench and wires stay up away from dangerous hot exhaust! ! !

    Pic 1 - Droopy Wires
    Pic 2 - Droopy Wires fixed with 2 blue wire ties into 2 new holes in stove flange.
    Pic 3 - New auger collar and set bolt
    Pic 4 - Part numbers of Pelpro 5/8" collar and englander collar with nice set bolt that fits Pelpro 5/8" collar!

    Would those tie wraps fix my droopy drawers?
