This housing encloses the reel tine bearing assembly on the header of a grain harvester. It protects the bearing from crop residue and dust ingress while maintaining alignment of the tine arm during rotation. A cracked or deformed housing allows bearing contamination, leading to tine wobble and uneven crop feeding into the auger. The housing is stamped to match the original profile so it seats correctly against the reel arm without modification. On replacement, ensure the mounting bolts are torqued to specification and that the bearing is fully seated inside the housing before reassembly.
