Abstract
In the central beater portion of the platform auger of a conventional grain cutting platform for a combine harvester, the finger and finger bearing assemblies are constructed so that each may be removed individually for repair or replacement without disturbing other finger assemblies or the fixed crankshaft on which the finger assemblies are journaled. Each bearing assembly consists of two halves hinged together and closing to define a cylindrical bearing bore embracing the finger shaft. Portions of the two bearing halves opposite the hinge are recessed in their facing surfaces to receive the enlarged butt end of a finger, so as to align, clamp and retain the finger. A single clamping fastener is used to maintain the integrity of the finger and bearing assembly in operation.
