I certainly do learn things on this channel. Nice to have this problem solved. Asphalt is one of those things that you want to go right, because once it cools it's a stuck mess.

Brilliant solution to fabbing up an auger. Have done a few auger repairs myself. Two augers in different boilers that remove ash from the bottom of the firebox had burnt and worn away over the years leaving virtually nothing but the tube. My cutomer supplied the flites and just welded them on. One of them was so badly damaged it needed a section of tube too. A very interesting vidoe young man!

You can do the same with a winch or come along. Stretch the coil between a couple trees etc and carefully tack it in several places before welding it out later. The hard part is measuring and cutting the plates just right.

"It's crazy to think that asphalt wore this out", hé hé, of course my friend, asphalt is nothing more than concrete, in France we call it "enrobés" that means "wrapped". It's various granulometries of quarry materials mixed hot (very hot !) with bitumen. Good job anyway, even if a little bit risky at a moment !

When pulling the end of the spiral you should weld on a flat steel bar sticking straight up and pull from the end of that, or at least just pull from the inside edge of the spiral. It avoids the pulled end getting all twisted up in the wrong way.

Wonder if just a little heat to the metal would help it stretch out easier. Heat the whole assembled piece with a weed burner for a minute or two. Cover with a weld blanket for a bit to let the heat distribute evenly. Then stretch it out.
