Rotor type makes no difference.
In order for that bar to fall, it would have to also break or pull out, those eye bolts that go upward toward a heavy bracket that goes from the front cone support to the center cage support.
Perhaps someone removed this bracket and did not re-install it?
I no longer have that support and hardware in my machine as I have made a modfication there. However I do still have the bracketry, perhaps even the eye bolts, not sure.
Here's a picture of a parts list for the support. This is from Case IH 's parts online site, so they are to be credited for it. I simply put the arrows on it for clearification.

The support "#4", may still be there, but someone may have removed the straps, "#7". ?? Anyway, this setup must be in working order. Welding the solid round to the end brackets will not solve your problem.

the right eye bolts and everything are there. the time it fell onto the augers the eybolts broke. i since then put in new eye bolts and brackets and even welded it to the front bracket in a few small spots and it just pulls itself out of the bracket but does not able to fall all the way down. i just bought this combine last fall and only had a chance to put on 100 hours maybe. i will be looking onto this alot further this summer but just wanted to see if anyone else had this trouble

We have a 1666 but had similar problem. The top bar that pulls down to the concave to was not seating to the concave correctly. The same with the bottom bar, the concave didnt seat correctly there either.
We got the concave to seat right by grinding it down until it was desirable. Both top and bottom. So that way both the top and bottom bar seated nicely to the cancave when the I-bolts were tightened, holding the concave in place to never fall out again!!!!!

Just realized I never shared what fixed it. The harvest concave is a bit to thick at the saddle, it wont let you remove the concave in without loosening the bar from the front and rear bracket and having to readjust every time. The previous owner had ground the top of the concave tab off so it would slip in but that left the saddle so shallow it could pop out. I bought new concaves and saw the difference, it now doesn't pop out but it is a bear to change and readjust. I plan on grinding the tab next time the concaves are out but will grind the top of the saddle so the bar sits down into the saddle deeper as well. This will let the bar be solidly secured but let me remove the concave without screwing with the bar adjustment.
Hope this helps if anybody has the same problem (hopefully I'm the last guy to ever fight with this though
