1. A crop transport vane assembly for a threshing chamber comprising:
at least one housing that houses a planar transport vane, the housing having side walls that define a slot through a generally cylindrical rotor cover the planar transport vane being sized and configured for insertion into and through said slot between a secured deployed position and a secured undeployed position and one or more secured positions therebetween; the generally cylindrical rotor cover with the at least one slot passing therethrough and arranged either as at least one ring or a helix extending along at least a portion of the length of the generally cylindrical rotor cover, a rotor that is covered by the generally cylindrical rotor cover, the rotor threshes and separates received crops; and the threshing chamber with an eccentric shaft that is connected to the planar transport vane, wherein rotation of the eccentric shaft results in displacement of the planar transport vane for remote adjustment of a depth of the crop transport vane through the slot , in a range between the secured deployed position and the secured undeployed position.
