New Holland CX8060 - does anyone recognise this plate/cover?

[Steevo]

Found it in the box of my New Holland CX8060, and not sure where it should go.

Looks like it could go on an auger tube. Grain tank maybe?

That would make sense to me - it's reinforced on the back which suggests that piece is in contact with grain.

No idea, but if there are no obvious open ports anywhere, could it be a blanking plate out of a rethresher concave?

Bottom of grain tank bubble auger would be my guess

It may be the bottom cover for the bubble auger tube leading into the grain tank, it looks similar to the one on a cx8070

Found it in the box your combine came in? How big is the box?!

 

[Fergieman]

Have you looked at bottom of emptying auger above front left wheel?

 

[A Trebor]

If you’d said it was of a Tx 30 series I would say it’s a plain cover for the bottom of rethesher for when doing rape etc in place of the normal one.

Bottom of augers in the bottom of the tank at drivers side

Start cutting, the problem area should soon reveal its self. ?

Auger tube cover. Wrong shape for the rethresher cover. More likely the upward tube section for the unloading auger.

True.

 

[Lincsman]

Its off the grain tank, either at the auger side or the other side under the unloading cross auger.

I’ve had this before....! Would rather it didn’t happen again.

I think it's a bottom auger cover for the grain tank, opposite side from the upload, here's mine on a cx720.( hopefully)

Curved the wrong way.

Well spotted,

Thanks all.

This was the correct answer. No wonder I couldn’t see it - it’s tucked right at the back.

This is how I located it. Thankfully I knew I had a cover off somewhere.

Guys who serviced it left the engine access plate inside the grain tank for the second time. I’m glad Dad reminded me to check before I started!
