ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for lifting the reel on a mower-conditioner relative to the cutterbar when the header is raised to an upward position is disclosed wherein a link is selectively connectable between the reel arms and the mower-conditioner frame to effect a pivotal movement of the reel arms on the header when the header is raised relative to the mower-conditioner frame by the header lift mechanism. The link can be in the form of a flexible chain operatively engaged with a take-up mechanism to permit storage of the chain when placed in an inoperative position or in the form of a rigid link selectively pivotally connectable to both the frame and the reel arms when movement of the reel relative to the cutterbar is desired.
