Access door with integral crop deflector for a combine harvester and method of manufacturing the same

A combine harvester, comprising:

• a housing including a chassis, the housing defining an interior through which crop material flows in a generally rearward direction;
• a crop processing system located within the interior, the crop processing system including at least a threshing section and a separating section, where the separating section is rearward of the threshing section;
• an access door coupled to the chassis, the access door aligned along at least one side of the housing and spanning a distance defined by the threshing section and the separating section;
• the access door comprising:
• a body having a top, a bottom, a first side, and a second side;
• a plurality of ribs integrally formed in an inner surface of the body for adding rigidity thereto;
• and
• a deflector integrally formed with the body and protruding from the inner surface into the interior of the housing for deflecting crop material away from the respective access door, the deflector comprising a top surface;
• wherein, the deflector comprises a width that is substantially the same as the width of the body;
• wherein, the body is defined within a first plane and the top surface is defined within a second plane, the second plane being angularly disposed with respect to the first plane;
• wherein, each of the plurality of ribs extend along the inner surface of the body to the top surface of the deflector.
