This inclined conveyor strip is the left-side wear bar for the material feeding assembly of a combine harvester. It mounts on the side rail of the inclined conveyor housing, where it guides the crop mat as it moves from the header toward the threshing cylinder. The strip acts as a sacrificial wear surface, protecting the conveyor housing from abrasion caused by crop material and debris. Over time, the contact face wears down, which can increase the gap between the strip and the conveyor chain, reducing feeding efficiency and allowing material to bypass the intended path. Replacing the strip restores the original clearance and maintains consistent crop flow into the threshing unit. On installation, ensure the mounting holes align with the housing and that the strip sits flush against the side rail before tightening the fasteners.
