ABSTRACT:
A latch for the hood member of the corn harvesting header is disclosed wherein the latching mechanism includes a self-centering guide device to provide a proper latching action to lock the hood member in an operative position. A stop affixed to the hood member and projecting inwardly therefrom is engageable with a V-shaped guide device formed into the latch lock mechanism to guide the stop into a notch formed in the latch lock mechanism. When the stop is seated in the notch, the latch is properly aligned with the latch lock mechanism for proper engagement therebetween. A release rod connected to the latch provides for convenient operation of the latching mechanism.
