A rotor and cage assembly includes a skeleton of curved spaced-apart side members affixed to laterally extending upper and lower spaced-apart members therebetween and surrounding the rotor. One of the curved spaced-apart side members is terminated with curved fingers. Three concave inserts insert laterally into the skeleton spanning 270&#xb0; around the rotor. One of the concave inserts carries straight fingers that interlace between the skeleton side member curved fingers. A control assembly of plates having arcuate slots placed at 3 of the pivots of the skeleton assembly, 3 control bars connected to the skeleton pivots, and an actuator is connected separately to each control bar at one end effect arcuate rotation of the control bars resulting in the synchronized rotation of the arcuate slotted plates so that the interlaced straight fingers move closer together or farther apart with the fixed skeleton assembly curved fingers for different types of grain.

Three section threshing concave configuration and adjustment mechanism for an agricultural harvesting combine

A metering device () for an agricultural planter () has a metering chamber () with a seed discharge () area and a metering disc () rotatable within the metering chamber (). The metering disc () has plurality of seed pockets () for carrying seeds on the metering disc (), the seed pockets () being disposed at mutually spaced locations about the metering disc (). The metering disc also has a magnetic drive ring () in the outer periphery of the metering disc (). The metering device also has a stator positioned adjacent the metering disc. The stator () interacts with the magnetic drive ring () to rotate the metering disc () within the metering chamber () such that the seed pockets () move successively in proximity to the discharge area () during rotation of the metering disc ().
