ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE GRAIN STORAGE UNLOADING SYSTEM A bin sweep comprises a discharge auger mounted on a support structure at an outer end of the auger tube with ground wheels and a lifting system so that the outer end of the discharge auger can be raised and lowered. At an inner end of the discharge auger is mounted a sweep auger carried on a pair of cooperating elbow castings which allow rotation of the sweep auger through 360° around a vertical axis at the inner end. A hanger bearing is provided at a position midway along the length of the discharge auger. The sweep auger is driven by a hydraulic motor with the hydraulic fluid to the motor being provided through an internal swivel coupling at the axis of rotation past which the material swept is transported from the sweep auger to the discharge auger by a pair of blades carried at the end of the sweep auger. The sweep auger is driven in its movement around the axis by a toothed wheel at the outer end of the sweep auger driven intermittently by an eccentric mounted on the sweep auger which cranks a lever acting on a one way clutch at the toothed wheel.
