This is the End Knife Guard, part number 286319. It is designed specifically for MacDon FD2 and D2 Series Draper Headers (Double Knife Drive) and compatible combine harvesters.

The optimized end guard design prevents crop wrapping, straw plugging, and residue buildup. This ensures clean, close-cut harvesting even in wet, heavy, and tangled field crops.

The cutting edge features precision induction hardening, reaching a high hardness of HRC52-58 for maximum wear resistance, while the main body retains high toughness to prevent fractures under stress.

Yes, it is a 100% direct OEM interchangeable replacement, meaning no modifications are required during installation, and it matches standard pitch and tolerances for smooth operation.

Absolutely. The guard supports single-piece independent replacement, which saves you from replacing the entire cutterbar assembly and significantly reduces maintenance downtime and overall costs.

It adapts to various grain and forage crops including wheat, canola, alfalfa, and soybeans. It functions reliably in dry fields, wet muddy farmlands, and high-density lodging crop environments.
