Abstract: A crop stripper header includes a crop stripper rotor with a central core and a plurality of stripper teeth projecting radially outwardly from the central core. The central core is supported for rotation by first and second end hubs. A dynamic balancing system is provided in each of the end hubs. The dynamic balancing system includes a plurality of steel balls or other suitable weights contained in hollow cavities in the end hubs. The balls are freely moveable within the hollow cavities during rotation of the rotor so that the weights of the balls are distributed to positions within the hollow cavities that tend to neutralize any imbalance in the rotor during operation.

Abstract: A crop stripper rotor includes a plurality of stripper teeth sections and backer plates secured to a central core by threaded fasteners. The stripper teeth sections have stripper teeth that project radially outwardly from a mounting base, and the backer plates have teeth that fit behind the stripper teeth. The stripper teeth sections and backer plates are sandwiched between opposing flanges of adjacent bent sheet metal sections of the central core. An alignment and mounting system includes a pair of alignment slots in each stripper teeth section and backer plate that open radially inwardly. A first pair of threaded fasteners mate with the alignment slots to set the depth and alignment of the stripper teeth sections and backer plates relative to the central core. A second pair of threaded fasteners are inserted through the aligned mounting bores of the stripper teeth sections and the backer plates to complete the assembly.
