Case-IH® Compatible Stainless Steel Tailings Elevator Bottom Plate
Repair the lower tailings elevator on selected Case-IH® Axial-Flow combines with this C&M made in Australia stainless steel tailings elevator bottom plate. Manufactured from 3mm grade 304 stainless steel, this direct-fit replacement suits compatible 1420, 1440, 1460, 1480, 1620, 1640, 1644, 1660, 1666, 1680, 1688, 2344, 2366, 2388, 2577 and 2588 combines.
Manufactured by C&M at our engineering facility in Griffith, NSW, the plate replaces the worn lower section of the tailings elevator boot. This area is continuously exposed to abrasive crop material as tailings are redirected into the elevator chain and returned for further processing.
The 3mm grade 304 stainless steel construction provides increased resistance to corrosion, pin-holing and gradual wall thinning compared with a standard painted carbon steel plate. Its extended wear design helps maintain the original boot profile and can reduce the risk of grain leakage from a worn lower housing.

The C&M Difference
This C&M made in Australia component is manufactured around the dimensions and fit of the original bottom plate. The folded profile, mounting points and operating clearances are checked to provide a practical direct-fit replacement. The use of 3mm grade 304 stainless steel also provides an extended wear alternative for a section of the machine exposed to repeated abrasive material flow.
Expert Maintenance Review
The bottom of the tailings elevator is a common wear point because crop material changes direction before being collected by the elevator paddles. Inspect the existing plate for polished surfaces, pinholes, thin edges, cracks, distorted mounting points and signs of grain leakage.
When the plate is removed, inspect the tailings elevator chain, paddles, lower sprocket, bearings and shaft. A stretched chain or worn paddle can reduce material clearance and increase contact with the bottom of the elevator boot.
Installation Tip: Check Paddle Clearance
After fitting the new bottom plate, correctly tension the tailings elevator chain and rotate the system by hand. Confirm that each paddle clears the stainless steel surface without contacting the plate. Replace excessively worn, cracked or rounded paddles before operating the combine.
Recommended Maintenance Check
Inspect adjoining boot panels and sealing surfaces while the lower elevator is open. Repairing thin or damaged sections at the same time helps maintain an enclosed tailings path and reduces the chance of material escaping around the new plate.
