ABSTRACT:
A threshing rotor for an agricultural combine. The threshing rotor comprises an elongated drum having a generally cylindrical outer wall defining a smooth outer surface or skin extending along the length of the drum and having a plurality of straps or bands circumferentially arranged about and disposed along the outer wall of the rotor. Each band or strap has at least one threshing element connected thereto. A clamp mechanism releasably secures each strap against the outer wall of the drum and permits the strap and the threshing element connected thereto to be quickly replaced and/or shifted relative to adjacent threshing elements carried by adjacent straps. The threshing rotor further includes stops provided on opposite sides of each strap to inhibit longitudinal shifting of the strap along the outer wall of the rotor during a threshing operation.
