ABSTRACT:
A rotary cutterbar housing is constructed of a plurality of modules mounted in side-to-side relationship with the opposite sides of each module being planar and being secured in face-to-face engagement. A spur gear train is located within the housing and includes at least one gear in each module which is meshed with a spur gear of an adjacent module so that portions of the teeth of the spur gear associated with one of the modules extends a short distance into the other module, and vice-versa. The opposite sides of the modules are parallel to each other and are inclined relative to vertical such that a module between two other modules can be unbolted from them and removed without requiring the other modules to be moved in order to provide clearance for the protruding portions of the gear teeth.
