ABSTRACT:
A wheel assembly for use in converting a crop harvesting header from a harvest mode to a transport mode is disclosed wherein the wheel assembly is clamped onto the cutterbar by a clamping mechanism such that the header can serve as its own carrier. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping member pivotally connected to the main body member and an overcenter locking mechanism to force the clamping member into engagement with the cutterbar such that the main body member is releasably engaged with the mower guards to mobilely support a part of the weight of the header above the ground. The clamping mechanism is affixed to one end of a support post, which also has a spindle rotatably mounting a wheel at the opposing end.
