This bearing and housing assembly supports the upper shaft of the inclined conveyor, which transfers crop material from the header into the threshing mechanism. The housing mounts to the side sheet of the conveyor frame and carries the shaft via the bearing bore. A worn bearing allows shaft deflection, causing belt misalignment and uneven feeding that can lead to plugging. The housing is machined to match the original mounting pattern, so no drilling or adapter plates are required. On replacement, verify the shaft surface is free of scoring and torque the mounting bolts to the specified value.
