1. A combine harvester comprising: a crop processing mechanism; andan elevator assembly for conveying harvested crop to the crop processing mechanism, the elevator assembly including: an elevator housing having an inlet,an endless conveyor mounted for rotation within the elevator housing about a shaft, anda sprocket stripper mounted adjacent the shaft, the sprocket stripper including: a first major surface extending substantially parallel to the shaft toward an upper end of said elevator housing, anda second surface extending from the first major surface at a non-perpendicular angle relative to the first major surface; andwherein the stripper generally extends between an upper portion of the shaft and upper portion of the housing and the second surface extends from an end of the first surface bordering the inlet. 2. The combine harvester of claim 1, wherein the second surface is a substantially planar surface. 3. The combine harvester of claim 1, wherein the second surface is positioned within the elevator housing adjacent the inlet. 4. The combine harvester of claim 1, wherein shaft connects to an auger that conveys harvested crop to the elevator assembly, and wherein the second surface is angled substantially perpendicular to a normal face of a flight of the auger. 5. The combine harvester of claim 1, wherein the elevator housing includes a return side and a grain conveyor side, and wherein the second surface is angled to substantially direct a flow of harvested crop material received within the inlet to the return side. 6. The combine harvester of claim 1, wherein the elevator housing includes a front wall, a rear wall opposite the front wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall opposite the first side wall, wherein the second side wall forms the inlet and the sprocket stripper extends from the first side wall to adjacent the inlet. 7. The combine harvester of claim 1, wherein the sprocket stripper extends as a chord adjacent the inlet. 8. The combine harvester of claim 1, wherein the sprocket stripper includes a first section for attaching to at least one wall of the elevator housing and a second section that extends as a chord adjacent the inlet. 9. The combine harvester of claim 1, wherein the sprocket stripper partially divides the elevator housing between a return side and a grain conveyor side. 10. The combine harvester of claim 1, wherein the sprocket stripper is attached to a wall of the elevator housing. 11. The combine harvester of claim 1, wherein the second surface is configured to direct a flow of grain laterally relative to the shaft. 12. A combine harvester comprising: a crop processing mechanism; andan elevator assembly for conveying harvested crop to the crop processing mechanism, the elevator assembly including: an elevator housing having an inlet,an endless conveyor mounted for rotation within the elevator housing about a shaft, anda sprocket stripper mounted adjacent the shaft, the sprocket stripper including: a first major surface extending substantially parallel to the shaft toward an upper end of said elevator housing, anda second surface extending from the first major surface at a non-perpendicular angle relative to the first major surface; andthe sprocket stripper includes a first section for attaching to at least one wall of the elevator housing and a second section that extends as a chord adjacent the inlet, wherein the second surface extends from only the second section of the sprocket stripper. 13. The combine harvester of claim 12, wherein the second surface is configured to direct a flow of grain laterally relative to the shaft. 14. A combine harvester comprising an elevator assembly for conveying harvested crop to a crop processing mechanism, the elevator assembly including: a housing having an inlet;an endless conveyor mounted for rotation within the housing about a shaft; anda sprocket stripper mounted adjacent the inlet, wherein the sprocket stripper extends away from the shaft within the housing at least partially dividing the elevator housing between a return side and a grain conveyor side, the sprocket stripper including a tapered edge having a grain engaging surface at a non-perpendicular angle relative a longitudinal axis of the shaft, wherein the tapered edge extends from an end of the first surface bordering the inlet and an apex of the tapered edge faces the inlet. 15. The combine harvester of claim 14, wherein the tapered edge extends as a chord adjacent the inlet. 16. The combine harvester of claim 14, wherein the endless conveyor travels towards the inlet about the return side of the housing and away from the inlet about the grain conveyor side of the inlet, and wherein the grain engaging surface is configured to direct a flow of grain towards the return side. 17. The combine harvester of claim 14, wherein the grain engaging surface is configured to direct a flow of grain laterally relative to the shaft.
