ABSTRACT:
A wear strip for a reciprocating cutterbar on a crop harvesting machine is disclosed wherein the wear strip projects upwardly and forwardly from the cutterbar support bar to a position above the rear edge of the knives. This wear strip operates to hold the rear edge of the knives downwardly against the support ridge on the knife guards. This wear strip is also operable to prevent severed crop material from passing between the knife guard and the support bar of the cutterbar and, therefore, being lost from the harvesting machine. The structural shape of the disclosed wear strip also helps retard the passage of severed crop material forwardly over the front of the cutterbar.
