Case-IH® Compatible Stainless Steel Grain Tank Floor Deflector
Enhance the structural longevity of your grain handling system with this premium C&M Australian-made stainless steel grain tank floor deflector. Specifically engineered for Case-IH® Axial-Flow combine harvesters, this high-performance component is the professional solution for repairing worn components in high-velocity grain transition zones.
Manufactured in our Griffith factory, each deflector is precision pressed and features reinforced TIG-welded side joints for maximum high-strength integrity. By utilizing heavy-duty stainless steel, this unit offers vastly superior abrasion resistance compared to standard carbon steel. This extended wear construction ensures your grain tank floor stays in top condition, providing a significantly longer service life by resisting the constant scouring of high-volume grain flow.

Expert Maintenance Review
The grain tank floor deflector is a critical wear point that is often overlooked until structural failure occurs. Constant friction from abrasive crops like rice or pulses causes standard steel deflectors to thin and crack at the joints. We recommend inspecting the leading edges and weld points for abrasion thinning during every preventative maintenance check to avoid potential damage to the tank floor itself.
Upgrading to this high-performance stainless steel deflector is a strategic choice to save money on major tank floor repairs. The high-density surface maintains its structural profile far longer than painted steel, ensuring smooth grain handling and a longer service life for your grain tank internals.
Installation Tip: Surface Preparation
When installing the new 249266A1 extended wear deflector, ensure the grain tank floor is completely clear of old residue and rust scale. A flush, high-strength fit prevents grain from trapping underneath, which is the leading cause of "hot spots" and sub-floor corrosion. This is the ideal time to check your grain tank augers for flighting wear.
