ABSTRACT:
The header platform of a harvester has located above it a sweeper assembly which comprises a finger frame and sweeper fingers dependig from the finger frame but terminating at their lower ends at a higher elevation than the knife assembly, tracks guiding the rear end of the finger frame for fore and aft movement, and a crank shaft coupled to the front end of the finger frame and driven to cause the sweeper fingers to lower, move rearwardly over the platform, and raise, to thereby be effective in moving a crop rearwardly over the platform.
