A threshing section of an agricultural harvester, the threshing section comprising:
- a threshing drum;
- at least one concave assembly positioned proximate to the threshing drum, the at least one concave assembly comprising a cylindrical frame and a plurality of modularized assemblies, each of the plurality of modularized assemblies being independently configurable and detachably connected to the frame of the at least one concave assembly, each of the plurality of modularized assemblies being removable from the cylindrical frame of the at least one concave assembly;
- and
- a plurality of rods that are inserted within the at least one modularized assembly, each of the plurality of modularized assemblies comprising at least one of the plurality of rods extending substantially from one end of the each of the plurality of modularized assemblies to an opposite end of the each of the plurality of modularized assemblies, each of the plurality of modularized assemblies further comprising a structural member having a plurality of receiving members attached thereto, the at least one rod of the each of the plurality of modularized assemblies being supported by the plurality of receiving members of the structural member of the each of the plurality of modularized assemblies.
