S P E C I F I C A T I O N A CROP HEADER FOR A CROP HARVESTING MACHINE HAVING A CROP CONSOLIDATING COMPONENT WHICH DETACHABLY MOUNTS A PLURALITY OF INTERCHANGEABLE CROP GATHERING COMPONENTS A crop harvesting header has a transversely extending crop consolidating component that detachably mounts either one of a plurality of interchangeable crop gathering components, such as a crop windrow-pickup or a row crop. The lower front portion of the consolidating component is provided with a plurality of spaced apart truncated cone-shaped recessed structures which are respectively adapted to receive a corresponding number of truncated cone shaped projecting structures mounted on the lower rear portion of the gathering component. The projecting structures are coupled within the recessed structures to detachably mount the crop gathering component forwardly of the crop consolidating component.
