A fan assembly for a cleaning system of a combine harvester includes a housing having a plurality of interconnected walls, the interconnected walls defining least one inlet opening through which air is delivered into the housing, and at least one outlet opening through which air is exhausted from the housing. A deflector is positioned either at or adjacent the outlet opening, the deflector being configured to affect a flow of air across a width dimension W of the outlet opening. The deflector may be a single, unitary body or the deflector may include a plurality of independently rotatably panels.

A sieve assembly for an agricultural harvester includes a cleaning shoe having a pair of opposed side rails, and a sieve which is removably installed within the cleaning shoe at a selected location against the side rails. The sieve has an upstream end defining a first angled surface, and a downstream end defining a second angled surface. The cleaning shoe includes a first engagement surface for engaging the first angled surface, and a pair of bolts, with each of the bolts being pivotally attached relative to a respective one of the side rails and engageable with a respective second angled surface. Each of the bolts has a longitudinal axis that is positioned at an acute angle (β) relative to the side rails of the cleaning shoe and biases the first angled surface into engagement with the first engagement surface when the bolts are tightened against a respective second angled surface.

A sieve for use in an agricultural harvester includes a framework with a pair of opposed side members. A plurality of overlapped louvres extend between the pair of opposed side members and are overlapped relative to each other. The opposed side members are each comprised of an extruded metal side member with a partially open elongate channel having a predefined cross section, and a polymeric strip having a mating cross section carried within the elongate channel.

A cleaning system for a combine harvester includes a fan, at least one duct having an interior passageway that is positioned to receive an air stream from the fan, and a surface defined within the interior passageway of the at least one duct that is configured to restrict a volume of the flow of air passing through the at least one duct and increase a pressure of the air stream passing through the duct.

An agricultural harvester includes a grain processing section having a crop material handling assembly. The crop material handling assembly is driven in fore and aft oscillation by a device while permitting side to side movement. A pivotal link mechanism structurally connected to the crop material handling assembly midway between its side members and to the agricultural harvester chassis drives linear side to side movement of the crop material handling assembly while permitting fore and aft movement thereof.

A combine harvester including at least one straw walker extending in a longitudinal direction of the harvester and supported by a front and rear shaft. The shafts are rotatable about respective rotation axes, and each shaft provided with one or more eccentric portions. The straw walker is rotatably mounted on an eccentric portion of the respective front and rear shafts, so that the simultaneous rotation of the shafts actuates a reciprocating motion of the straw walker. The combine further comprises a pivot frame and one or more actuators, configured to adjust the angular position of the frame by pivoting the frame about a pivot axis oriented transversally to the longitudinal direction. The front and rear shafts are configured to rotate with respect to the pivot frame, so that the straw walker's angular position is adjustable while the straw walker executes the reciprocating motion.
