This inclined feeder chain transmits power from the drive sprocket to the slats that carry crop material up the feeder housing into the threshing mechanism. It is a roller-type chain with a 38.4 mm pitch, designed to operate under the high-tension and impact loads present in a harvesting machine’s intake system. A worn or stretched chain causes slat misalignment, reducing feeding efficiency and increasing the risk of chain jump or breakage. This component is manufactured to match the original assembly’s pin and roller dimensions, preserving the correct engagement with the drive and idler sprockets. When replacing, inspect the sprockets for wear and adjust chain tension to the specified slack.
