Abstract: Attachments for broadcast combines which have been converted into row type combines, in which the bearing guard attachment shields the shaft bearing on the lower ends of the drum shafts from becoming covered with vegetation which wraps therearound during the harvesting operation. The vegetation wrapped around the shaft bearing and the lower ends of the shafts precludes free circulation of air which cools the bearings and prevents the loss of lubricant therefrom due to expansion of the lubricant resulting in leakage from the elastomer seals.
