Replaceable intake section ( 14 ) of grain auger ( 10 ) includes fixed metal elongate support ( 22 ) secured to tubular casing ( 11 ) and extending beneath flexible intake end flight portion ( 17 ) which is connected by a clutch to the main flight of auger ( 10 ). Pliable, soft, rubber, safety guard or collar ( 27 ) is part-circular in section and extends around flight portion ( 17 ). Longitudinal edges on guard ( 27 ) normally engage with edges ( 34 ) of support ( 22 ). If an obstruction, such as an operator's foot, engages the auger intake, free end portions of guard ( 27 ) can disengage from edges ( 34 ) of elongate support ( 22 ) to minimise jamming or injury. Collar ( 27 ) may be attached to adjustable slide ( 25 ) to vary the length of flighting ( 17 ) exposed and thereby alter the rate of feed.
