ABSTRACT:
A control linkage is provided suitable for use on a swather. The linkage includes a housing, a hand lever pivotally coupled to the housing for angular movement about a first axis, and means adapted to pivotally mount the housing at a location for convenient use by an operator and for movement about a second axis perpendicular to the front axis. The hand lever includes a bracket having an attachment portion spaced transversely of the first axis in a direction lying generally along a second axis and a crank is attached to the housing and extends outwardly for arcuate movement when the hand lever is moved about the second axis. First and second control rods have ends attached respectively to said attachment portion and to said first crank and other ends attachable to a control mechanism coupled to the reel and table of the swather whereby movement of the hand lever about the second axis primarily controls the height of the table and reel and movement of the hand lever about the first axis primarily controls the height of the reel.
