ABSTRACT:
An actuating mechanism for the transport lock on a crop harvesting machine having a pivotally movable tongue mounted to the frame of the harvesting machine, commonly referred to as a pivot-tongue windrower, is disclosed wherein a first spring is compressible to exert a biasing force on a locking pin to urge the pin through suitable aligned apertures in the base of the tongue and in the frame of the machine to automatically extend the locking pin through the apertures when they become aligned due to manipulation of the pivotal movement of the tongue by the operator at a location remote from the locking pin. A second spring is compressible to exert a biasing force on the locking pin to urge the locking pin into an unlocked position, withdrawn from the hole in the frame, so that the tongue is free to pivotally move relative to the frame. The second spring is operable to automatically compress the first spring when the locking pin is moved to the unlocked position. Accordingly, the actuating mechanism is operable to bias the locking pin in either a locked or an unlocked position.
