HEADER END HOOD MOUNT FOR AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER

摘要

A header end hood mount for a harvester configured to allow an end hood on a corn header to pivot about a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly connected to the frame for mounting the hood thereon includes a mounting bracket affixed to the frame to allow the hood to pivot between a first position covering the row unit and a second position spaced outwardly and upwardly from the first position to provide improved access to a row unit covered by an end hood during normal operation. The header end hood mount according to the subject application is designed to provide an improved pivoting motion of the hood with increased access to a row unit covered by the end hood and requiring minimal movement of the end hood by the operator to improve safety.
