Tailings slip-clutch kept slipping...

Got the header working again this afternoon. Got hopper 2/3 full when raddle clutch slipped. Chain on the beater had come off. Put it back on and cleaned machine out. Went again. Then, tailings auger clutch kept slipping. Emptied it out 3 times and couldn't find anything. Got dark, so took it to the shed. Opened tailings cleanout door again and found this piece of metal wedged between the flighting and the housing, and sticking all the way over between the elevator chain and sprocket tooth. Cut it, pulled out piece between elevator chain and sprocket, then pulled the rest over, cut a piece, until it all came out. Thresher ran smooth after that. Anyone know which piece of the machine this came off of? It's not a raddle bar. Hoping all goes well tomorrow...

Kind of reminds me of what the chaffer or sieve butts up against....not sure tho. Definitely not a raddle slat.
 
It does look familiar, but from where?!?!

I'm thinking it's supposed to be a reinforcement part. Maybe along the bottom of the shaker housing, or the walker pan, or even under the raddle pan?
 
Think I figured it out. Piece must have come off the bottom of the shaker. Noticed this morning that the bushing on the lefthand pitman where the 5/8 rod goes through it and out the right side of the machine had a rubber bushing worn out. That was because the pitman on the right side had come off the rod when the cap on it broke. Put on used parts from an old M and now everything is tight and shakes smooth. Must have been shaking cattywampas and knocked that metal strap loose. Ran good today.
