Are there any Danuser post hole digger owners out there?

I need to know if a 2 inch round Danuser auger will fit my Leinbach post hole digger, which also has a 2 inch round output shaft. So, I need to know how the Danuser auger attaches to the shaft. The Leinbach auger, as well as the Speeco, attaches with two bolts that are at 90 degrees to each other and a few inches apart (vertically) on the shaft.

Thanks.

Danuser uses one pin/bolt on the 2" output shaft.

Thank you all! Someone from Danuser got back to me as well (still got a faster answer here on TBN!). They said the hole on the auger is 7/8" from the top of the shaft and it's a 1/2" bolt. I'm pretty sure that the Leinbach uses a 1/2" bolt too.

You can drill the coupling on the auger to fit your PHD or if you are buying a new auger the factory might be able to put another coupling on. The other more conventional way to deal with this is to get or make an adapter. I drilled a used auger's coupling to fit my PHD and had no problems but the holes have to be perfectly drilled to match the auger's shaft so it requires some exacting work.
