An auger latch for securing an auger assembly of a bulk loader, and having a mounting plate with a locking pin thereon for attachment to the loader. The latch features spaced apart guide plates, which define a longitudinally extending opening for receiving the locking pin. A latch plate is pivotally secured to and positioned between the guide plates, the latch plate having a handle portion at one end thereof and a pin engaging portion at an opposite end. When the latch plate is in an unlocked position, the pin engaging portion extends into the opening defined by the guide plates. When the auger assembly is to be moved from a working position to a stowed position adjacent a sidewall of the loader, the locking pin is inserted into the opening of the guide plates to initially engage the pin engaging portion, and, as the locking pin continues to be inserted into the opening, the pin engaging portion biasingly retracts, permitting the locking pin to be inserted fully into the opening. Once the locking pin has been inserted fully, the pin engaging portion extends to assume a locked position securing the pin in place within the opening. Spring means connected to the guide plates and the handle portion enable the latch plate to move from the locked position to an unlocked position, whereby the locking pin can be removed.
