John Deere® Compatible Stainless Steel Feeder House Top Floor Seal
Enhance the performance of your combine harvester feeder house with this premium C&M Australian-made feeder house top floor seal. Specifically engineered for a wide range of John Deere® combine harvesters, this high-performance seal was developed in our Griffith factory to provide an extended wear solution that significantly outperforms standard factory components in high-abrasion environments.
This seal is manufactured from heavy-duty 3mm grade 304 stainless steel. While stainless steel provides natural protection against the elements, its primary advantage in this application is superior abrasion resistance. The high material density ensures the seal maintains its structural profile far longer than standard carbon steel when exposed to constant crop flow and dust, providing a longer service life and keeping your product feeding system in top condition.

Expert Maintenance Review
The feeder house top floor seal is a critical friction point where material transitions from the header into the threshing system. Because standard steel seals are softer, they often thin out rapidly or develop "burrs" that catch the feeder house chain slats. This high-performance stainless steel upgrade is specifically designed to resist this thinning process, ensuring your intake assembly stays in top condition through multiple high-volume seasons.
Choosing this 3mm stainless seal is a strategic way to **save money** on long-term maintenance costs. The high-strength material maintains a crisp leading edge, allowing for a cleaner transition and reducing the drag on your feeder drive system, ultimately extending the service life of your feeder house internals.
Installation Tip: Verify Mounting Surface
Before fitting your new H173904 extended wear seal, ensure the mounting area on the feeder house frame is perfectly clean. Any debris trapped behind the 3mm stainless plate can cause misalignment, leading to uneven wear or slat interference. A flush, high-performance fit ensures the most efficient crop flow into your combine.
