Thanks! By the way, do Sweeney's reliably throw 9.5 mm fish food? That's proven too large for my TH, inevitably causes a jam within a few days.
I wouldnt know affirmatively that they will throw that size feed but I have used genuine old cheap catfish food, that has some big pellets, zero problems, there is nothing I see about them that would keep them from it, there is no spacing or clearance issue that would restrict them, as I have heard people say about the TH feeders, some opening or space thing to adjust for feed size, nothing like that on the Sweeney, no adjustments, just a time thing for amount of feed thrown.
After 25 yrs, several minor replacement parts and resealing a couple dried out seals around the thing it performs like a brand new one still. I used a polyurethane caulk around the sight glass and a couple other spots a couple years ago when it started seeping a little and clumping feed and now its dry as a bone again, havent had a clump in a yr.
I do know the only thing that stopped it from feeding is a couple yrs ago I had a big clump of feed, a couple inches in dia, worked its way down and blocked the auger off.


All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.
