It serves two positions depending on the model: the lower clean grain elevator on early-series machines and the lower return grain elevator on the 2000\u20137000 series. Both positions run the CA550 agricultural chain, and this part is machined from 1045 grade round steel to match the original 7-tooth, 1.25\u2033 bore specification.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 18px;\">The 1045 steel grade is a deliberate material choice for this application. It sits in the medium-carbon range, offering higher tensile strength than mild steel while remaining machinable to close tolerances. Teeth are hobbed on CNC equipment and then hardened, producing a wear surface that holds its profile geometry through a full harvest season of continuous elevator duty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 28px;\">This <strong>combine harvester sprocket<\/strong> covers three OEM cross-references \u2014 144031A1, 1319176C1, and 87740180 \u2014 under a single SKU. Dealers and fleet operators running mixed Case IH fleets can stock one part number in place of three, reducing both inventory cost and ordering complexity.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \u2500\u2500 SPECIFICATIONS \u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500 --><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 22px; font-weight: bold; color: #111111; margin: 36px 0 14px; border-left: 4px solid #e8500a; padding-left: 12px;\">Technical Specifications &amp; Critical Dimensions<\/h2>\n<div style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 28px;\">\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 15px; min-width: 300px;\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #f5f5f5;\">\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: 600; color: #111;\">Parameter<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: 600; color: #111;\">Unit<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd; font-weight: 600; color: #111;\">Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">OEM Part Numbers<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\u2014<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">144031A1 \/ 1319176C1 \/ 87740180<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Number of Teeth (Z)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\u2014<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Bore Diameter<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">inch \/ mm<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">1.25\u2033 \/ 31.75 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Compatible Chain<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\u2014<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">CA550 Agricultural Roller Chain<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Material<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\u2014<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">1045 Grade Round Steel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Manufacturing Process<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\u2014<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">CNC Machining \u2192 Hobbing \u2192 Teeth Heat-Treatment \u2192 Surface Coating \u2192 QC Inspection<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Hub Configuration<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\u2014<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">A-Plate \/ B-Hub \/ C-Hub \/ Welded Hub \/ Split (selectable)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Surface Treatment<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\u2014<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Corrosion-resistant coating on outer surfaces<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Application Position<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\u2014<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Lower Clean Grain Elevator \/ Lower Return Grain Elevator (model-dependent)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u2500\u2500 COMPATIBILITY \u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500 --><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 22px; font-weight: bold; color: #111111; margin: 36px 0 14px; border-left: 4px solid #e8500a; padding-left: 12px;\">Extensive Compatibility List for Case IH Harvester Models<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 14px;\">Confirm your model and elevator position before ordering.

The new sprocket teeth will seat unevenly against stretched chain links, generating accelerated wear on both parts within the first 40\u201360 operating hours. If the chain has more than 3% elongation over a measured 10-link span, replace it at the same time.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>Check shaft alignment before tightening.<\/strong> Lateral misalignment between the drive and driven sprockets on the elevator puts side load on the chain plates, causing fatigue cracking at the pin holes. Use a straightedge across both sprocket faces to confirm they are coplanar before final tightening of the retaining hardware.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>Set chain tension correctly.<\/strong> On most Case IH clean grain elevator assemblies, the recommended chain sag at the slack-side midpoint is 10\u201315 mm. Under-tensioned chain slaps the housing at speed; over-tensioned chain loads the shaft bearings and raises operating temperature. Check tension after the first 10 hours of operation, as a new chain seats and relaxes.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>Lubricate before first run.<\/strong> Apply a light oil or chain lubricant to the CA550 chain before starting the elevator. Dry start-up on a new chain and sprocket combination increases the wear rate during the initial seating period.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>Inspect at 50-hour intervals.<\/strong> Check tooth-tip geometry for hooking or sharpening, and measure chain elongation.

This sprocket cross-references all three OEM numbers: 144031A1, 1319176C1, and 87740180. All share the same 7-tooth, 1.25\u2033 bore CA550-chain specification and are interchangeable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding: 16px 20px;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 15px; margin: 0 0 6px; color: #111;\">Q2: My 1440 is an early serial number \u2014 does this fit?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; margin: 0; color: #555;\">Only if the serial number is ASN 30484 or higher.

Using a different chain pitch with this sprocket will cause uneven tooth loading and accelerate wear on both components.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 16px 20px;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 15px; margin: 0 0 6px; color: #111;\">Q5: How do I tell if the sprocket needs replacing rather than just the chain?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; margin: 0; color: #555;\">Look for hooked or sharpened tooth tips, visible wear grooves on the flank faces, or chain skip under load. A worn sprocket accelerates chain elongation \u2014 replacing both at the same interval is more cost-effective than staging the repairs separately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u2500\u2500 RELATED PRODUCTS \u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500 --><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 22px; font-weight: bold; color: #111111; margin: 36px 0 14px; border-left: 4px solid #e8500a; padding-left: 12px;\">Frequently Paired Components<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; margin: 0 0 16px;\">The sprocket is one part of a chain drive system.
