ABSTRACT:
A sickle bar cutter assembly for use on crop harvesting machines includes a mechanism for automatically adjusting the relationship of the cutter hold downs to the cutter knives to ensure that proper scissors action of the cutter knives produces a clean cut of the crop being harvested. The mechanism includes a member for biasing the cutter hold downs against the cutter knives and a member to which the cutter hold down is mounted and about which it pivots. At least those portions of the cutter hold downs contacting the cutter knives are hardened.
