Hook rotor stripper

Rotor strippers (34) are sized and shaped to securely fit between adjacent rotor fingers (32) on a rotor shaft (36) of a rotor (30) for stripping crop material and for conveying the crop material inside an agricultural machine. Each rotor stripper (34) is formed of a segment comprised of two opposing side walls (46) with an interior section extending between the two opposing side walls. A first end portion (40) has a curved hook section shaped to securely fit around a majority portion of the rotary shaft (36) for secure engagement therewith; a second end portion (42) is secured to a backbone portion (38) of the rotor (30) allowing the segment to remain fixed with respect to rotation of the rotary shaft (36); and a middle portion (44) extends between the first (40) and second (42) end portions in a curved manner.
