Claim 14:
15. A method for manufacturing a harvesting machine, comprising:
providing a chassis, a first rotor, a first cover element, a first concave, a second rotor, a second cover element, a second concave, a spine, and at least one threshing insert;
rotationally coupling the first rotor to the chassis along a first axis;
rotationally coupling the second rotor to the chassis along a second axis;
coupling the spine to the chassis to structurally support the harvesting machine and so at least a portion of the spine is positioned between the first axis and the second axis;
coupling at least one of the threshing inserts directly to a solid surface of the spine so the at least one threshing insert extends parallel with the first and second axis along a threshing section of the spine;
coupling the first cover element and the first concave to the spine to partially define a first cavity for the first rotor; and
coupling the second cover element and the second concave to the spine to partially define a second cavity for the second rotor;
wherein, the threshing insert is configured to aid in a threshing process of the first or second rotor.
