I just bought a John Deere model 31 post hole digger. Does any know if a Danuser auger will fit? My output shaft diameter is 1.375" and the mounting extension is 2.550" dia. I made a good CAD drawing of the extension if anyone is interested.

There are 200 dollar augers and 500 dollar augers and the 500 dollar augers will cut most everything including blactop and the 200 dollar augers work great in, well some things. ....

My JD post hole digger is PTO driven. I think it was the first generation of the 31 and all the newer ones take a 2" ID auger. A Missouri Company, Danuser, makes an excellent digger and augers. They make three different sizes, one being round, 2-9/16, this size I need. An old timer said if extend the cutting blades beyond the helix a little it greatly improves digging. ....

Got use my No.31 digger last weekend for the first time. With the 14" dia bit in heavy wet clay no problem digging. Here's a pic of me testing it. Dug 14 holes in 2 hours with a no heart attack or back pain. What a bargain for $300! ....
