A sieve assembly for combine includes a frame having side frame and divider members, a wire rotatably supported and extending transversely between the side and divider members. The wire has a majority portion and offset portion and at least one slat mounted thereon including a first pocket for removably receiving the major portion of the wire and a deflectable finger for positively locking the major portion of the wire into the first pocket to prevent accidental displacement of the slat from the wire. The slat includes a second pocket for removably receiving the offset portion of the wire to prevent rotational movement of the wire relative to the slat. In one embodiment, the side frame and divider members have circular apertures through which the wires extend. The inside diameter of these apertures are approximately the same, but slightly larger than, the outside diameter of the wire. The opposite ends of a longitudinal retainer leg of the offset portion of the wire are connected to the major portion of the wire by bends at both connections. The angle of the connecting legs and the radii of the bends are at an angle which permits the offset portion of the wire to be threaded or guided through the apertures in the side and divider members during assembly of the sieve assembly.
