ABSTRACT:
An infinite adjustment mechanism for a harvesting machine on which a hydraulic cylinder is utilized to raise and lower the reel relative to the ground is disclosed wherein the hydraulic cylinder is connected to a link pivotally mounted on the frame of the crop harvesting header and is adjustably positionable by a draw bolt. This hydraulic cylinder mounting linkage allows the minimum reel height, relative to the cutterbar, to be easily adjusted with simple, ordinary tools in an infinite number of positions within the limits imposed by the lengths of the draw bolt and the pivoting link. A clamping mechanism is provided to lock the pivoted link into a preselected position relative to the frame of the crop harvesting header.
