This threshing-drum insert is the replaceable wear element that sits on the concave section of the threshing drum assembly. It interacts with the rotating rasp bars to separate grain from the straw mat as it passes through the threshing gap. As the insert wears, the clearance between the drum and the concave increases, reducing separation efficiency and leaving unthreshed heads in the straw. The manufacturer machines this insert to the same profile as the original assembly, so it maintains the factory-set gap geometry without requiring shimming or adjustment. When reinstalling, verify that the retaining hardware is torqued to specification and that the insert is seated flush against the concave frame.
