More Information
Summary:A sieve assembly for an agricultural harvester includes a cleaning shoe having a pair of opposed side rails, and a sieve which is removably installed within the cleaning shoe at a selected location against the side rails. The sieve has an upstream end defining a first angled surface, and a downstream end defining a second angled surface. The cleaning shoe includes a first engagement surface for engaging the first angled surface, and a pair of bolts, with each of the bolts being pivotally attached relative to a respective one of the side rails and engageable with a respective second angled surface. Each of the bolts has a longitudinal axis that is positioned at an acute angle (β) relative to the side rails of the cleaning shoe and biases the first angled surface into engagement with the first engagement surface when the bolts are tightened against a respective second angled surface.
