For looking at future Gleaners . . . the thresher door is under the feeder house between the hydraulic cylinders. You will see a big latch with a spring that holds it shut. The tool that hangs in the bracket by the unloading auger serves as the lever to operate that latch when needed. The thresher door is designed so if a rock enters the cylinder, the door latch pops open, the door drops, and the rock falls out. You will, however, be notified by the cab alarm that the thresher door is open, and must stop, crawl under lifted header (after setting the safety stops) and close the door. When that door is open, you can see the cylinder. The regular cylinder will have serrated bars on it.
