ABSTRACT:
A harvesting machine has an improved crop gathering reel assembly which includes an elongated tubular drive member rotatably mounted to the machine, at least one pair of spaced apart unitary spiders, a plurality of tine-carrying bars extending generally parallel to the tubular member and interconnecting the spiders, joint members mounting the spiders to the tubular member for universal articulation relative to the member and a guide plate structure stationarily mounted to the machine adjacent one of the spiders for positioning the spiders in generally parallel planes disposed at predetermined oblique angles relative to the tubular member. The angles are generally equal and predetermined such that, upon predetermined rotation of the tubular member, the spiders rotate therewith within the aforementioned planes and concurrently universally articulate relative to the tubular member so that the tine-carrying bars will engage and sweep crop laterally and toward the harvesting machine.
