Protect your cutterbar and maintain a clean, efficient cut with this left middle-overlap knife guard for John Deere® platforms. Built as a direct replacement for OEM part number HXE18172, this guard is designed for durability and reliability in heavy harvest conditions.
Our knife guards are compatible with both riveted knife sections and bolted-on knife sections, giving you flexibility across different cutterbar setups.
Applications include John Deere® draper platforms 625D, 630D, 635D, 640D, and 645D, as well as flex draper platforms 630FD, 635FD, and 640FD. With its overlap design, this guard provides added protection and consistent crop flow at the cutterbar’s midsection, reducing plugging and extending the life of sickle sections.
