This strip is a left-side wear component for the inclined feeder of a grain harvester. It sits along the feeder chain path, protecting the feeder housing from abrasion as crop material is conveyed upward into the threshing mechanism. Over time, the strip surface wears thin from continuous contact with the chain and crop flow; a worn strip allows the chain to contact the housing, which can lead to housing damage and misalignment of the feeder assembly. The strip is manufactured to the original profile and thickness so it maintains the correct chain clearance without requiring shimming or adjustment during replacement.
