Help identify post hole digger

[thegrouse]

I just bought this pto driven post hole digger. I have no idea what brand it is. It came with a 9 inch auger and the gear box seems to be good. It looks like it may have a leak. Does anyone have any idea what brand this is? I am looking for a manual. The only identifying info I can find is the 20-40 stamped under the gearbox. The odd thing about this one is the 2 bolt clamp to adjust the position instead of the multi-hole plate. Any help would be appreciated.

I checked there website and could not find one that had the two bolt clamp that mine has. Maybe an older model?

Yours is an older model but they still make a 20/40

Thanks. I will check the website for a manual. The guy I bought it from said he did not remember what brand it was. Said he had it for awhile and it worked well when he used it. Gonna try it out next week.

As soon as I saw the head in your picture I was fairly certain of the brand. Their a very good brand, one of the best actually. What do you need a manual for?

My question too. If it's a leak, split and blue glue, or add gear oil. Nothing stressed about a PH digger.............

I just like to know how it goes together. So it is worth 200?

Very good buy if the auger is good... Got photos of the tip?

Didn't take any and I dumped it out at my place today. Looks like just rust on auger bit but in good shape.

Contacted Danuser and it is not one of their's. Any other opinions?

Home made boom with their gearbox maybe?

This digger is not a Danuser digger. Check the lid of the digger and see if you have any stars in the casting. Might be a 5 star digger.

i found this thread looking for info on my PHD. It's the same as the one in the OP pictures. Did you find out what brand it is? Mine has casting numbers in a couple of places and a star inside a circle. Thought it may be five star but i think there TM has 5 stars in the casting. Anyone else have any ideas?

Back in the day Servis from Dallas ,Texas used that same type 3 pt mounting system. Not saying its one of theirs just trying to help. Theirs were also yellow. Nowadays there Servis/Rhino from somewhere else.
