Summary:An agricultural harvester (10) includes an unloading auger (30) carried by a chassis (12) and supplied with cleaned crop material that has passed through a cleaning system (26). The unloading auger (30) includes a drive auger assembly (74) having a drive coupling (82) and a driven auger assembly (76). The driven auger assembly (76) includes a hollow tube (98) having an inner surface (100); an inner rod (102) journaled within the hollow tube (98) and defining a first end (104) and a second end (106); and a coupler (90) attached to the first end (104) of the inner rod (102) that is configured to couple to the drive coupling (82). The agricultural harvester (10) is characterized by a tube connector (108) rotatably coupling the inner rod (102) to the inner surface (100) of the hollow tube (98) adjacent to the second end (106) of the inner rod (102), the inner rod (102) only being rotatably coupled to the hollow tube (98) adjacent to the second end (106) of the inner rod (102).
