This wooden strip acts as a guide for the inclined conveyor chain in the feeder house of a combine harvester. It sits along the conveyor path, keeping the chain and slats aligned as they carry crop material from the header into the threshing mechanism. A worn or broken strip allows the chain to drift, causing uneven feeding, increased chain wear, and potential jams. This original component is machined to the same profile and mounting-hole pattern as the factory-installed strip, so it seats correctly against the feeder-house floor without modification. On replacement, ensure all mounting fasteners are tightened to the specified torque and that the strip does not contact moving parts.
