This deflector plate is mounted in the threshing mechanism of the parent combine. It directs the flow of crop material as it exits the threshing rotor, guiding it toward the separation system. A bent or worn plate disrupts material flow, which can lead to uneven distribution across the cleaning shoe and increased grain loss. The plate is formed from sheet steel with a set of mounting holes that match the housing flange pattern. When replacing, transfer any existing seals or spacers to the new plate and tighten the fasteners evenly.
