Description
When you’re running a draper header through tough cutting conditions, the center guard takes a beating from rocks, stumps, and whatever else the field throws at you. A bent or broken center guard doesn’t just slow you down—it can damage your knife sections and create uneven cutting that costs you grain. This double heat-treated replacement guard is built to handle the punishment and keep your header running smooth.
What You’re Getting
- Double heat treatment makes it tougher than standard guards—stands up to rocks and hard impacts
- Reinforced crossbar design provides extra strength where you need it most
- Two-point design fits the original mounting pattern perfectly
- Black finish resists corrosion and looks professional in the field
Built for Real Farm Work
This guard fits a wide range of Case IH draper headers from the 1042 through 2162 series, plus MacDon units including the popular 960 and 970 series drapers. Whether you’re cutting wheat, soybeans, or canola, these headers see hard use in demanding conditions where durability matters.
Made to Last
The double heat treatment process makes this guard significantly tougher than standard replacement parts. AgSmart builds these to handle the constant vibration and occasional hard knocks that come with draper header operation. The crossbar reinforcement adds strength right where guards typically fail.
Good to Know
This is a direct replacement for your worn center guard—no modifications needed. Take a close look at your other guards while you’re replacing this one, as they often wear at similar rates. Having a spare on hand can save you downtime during harvest.
