This auger drum finger is the spring-loaded retractable component mounted on the header’s cross auger. It sweeps crop material inward toward the feeder house, preventing bridging and ensuring a steady flow into the threshing mechanism. A broken or missing finger allows crop to wrap around the auger, causing blockages and uneven feeding. This replacement matches the original assembly’s pin diameter and overall length, so it seats correctly in the auger tube without modification. On installation, verify that the retaining clip is fully seated and that the finger pivots freely.
