Z101661 is an original John Deere part number, officially classified as a "Blower Spout Wear Plate."
It serves as a protective element for the inner surface of the discharge spout (chute), shielding it from constant abrasion caused by the flow of harvested crop material.

💡 Maintenance Recommendation

Blower spout wear plates are subject to intense friction, particularly when harvesting corn for silage or haylage. Failure to replace the plate in a timely manner causes plant material to wear away the actual metal housing of the expensive discharge pipe. It is recommended to regularly check the thickness of the liner and replace it when the walls have worn down to a critical thinness.
