Abstract: A mower-conditioner platform or header is suspended from the main frame of the mower-conditioner by a pair of transversely spaced lower links and a single upper link or lift arm. A hydraulic lift cylinder is connected directly to the lift arm. The lift arm is mounted between the main and platform frames in a manner for permitting the lift arm to undergo a given amount of side-to-side movement about its connection with the main frame in response to relative vertical movement between the opposite ends of the platform as the platform travels over uneven ground contour during cutting operation, and for limiting the side-to-side movement of the upper link to an amount considerably less than said given amount when the platform is raised to its transport position. Three different connection points are provided at the forward end of the lift arm for connection to the platform frame and by selecting different ones of these points different platform cutting angles may be obtained. A transport lock is provided for holding the lift arm in its raised position and the mounting of the cylinder is such as to permit the latter to be stroked when the lock is engaged without any forces being transferred to the lift arm or lock.

Abstract: A hitch adapter couples a semi-integral, PTO-driven implement to a quick coupler carried by a tractor three-point hitch. The hitch adapter includes a drawbar located significantly below the level of the connection of lower three-point hitch link with the quick coupler and a parking stand is integral with the bottom of the drawbar. Lowering of the three-point hitch from a normal working position results in the stand engaging the ground to prevent interference between the hitch and the drive shaft coupling the implement to the tractor PTO shaft. Once the stand engages the ground, the hitch adapter can be disconnected from the quick coupler hooks by releasing latches associated with the lower hooks and lowering the three-point hitch.

Abstract: A hitch adapter is attached to the tongue of an implement having components adapted for being driven by a tractor power take-off shaft and is constructed to permit the implement to be semi-integrally mounted either to a tractor having a hitch arrangement consisting only of a three-point hitch or to a tractor having a hitch arrangement wherein a quick coupler is carried by its three-point hitch without necessitating a change in the length of a drive shaft interconnecting the tractor power take-off shaft with an input shaft of a transmission assembly carried by the implement tongue.

Abstract: A double windrowing attachment for a harvester comprises a reversibly driveable conveyor shiftable between a first crop discharge position for forming a windrow inboard of one side of the harvester and a second crop discharge position for forming a second windrow along the opposite side of the harvester. The conveyor is supported on the attachment frame at only three points. One side of the conveyor is supported on a pair of feet movably supported on an elongated guide. The opposite side of the conveyor is supported by a shift arm which is used to shift the conveyor. The shift arm is pivotally mounted at one end to the attachment frame and movably mounted at the other end in a track fixed to the conveyor. The crop discharge positions are adjustable and permit a double windrow to be formed either in a side-by-side or in a stacked disposition. To prevent crop from being discharged from the conveyor onto uncut crop, a switch reverses a hydraulic drive for the conveyor prior to the beginning of movement of the conveyor from the first to the second crop discharge position and reverses the hydraulic drive responsive to the completion of movement of the conveyor from the second to the first crop discharge position. The attachment is mounted on the harvester frame by moving the harvester from a lowered harvesting position to an elevated transport position. The attachment is supported entirely off the ground by and extends rearwardly from the harvester frame and counterbalances the weight of the harvester header supported on and extending forwardly from the harvester frame.

Abstract: A coil for use in the voltage section of the electromagnet in electromechanical utility watthour meters comprises a thermoplastic bobbin, a length of wire, and two terminals. The bobbin has an upper flange and a lower flange connected by a central, hollow core. The upper flange supports two terminal mounting boxes in which terminals are inserted. The first and second leads (i.e., wire ends) are electrically and mechanically isolated from each other in order for the coil to withstand high voltage power surges. The upper flange also supports a step that has a recessed, side profile that guides the path of the wire to the core without introducing sharp bends or turns into the wire. Excess length of the first and second ends of the wire length are secured to tie off posts that are located on the top of the terminal mounting boxes. These posts, along with the excess wire, are removed when the terminals are inserted into the mounting boxes.

Abstract: An implement is coupled for being driven and towed by a tractor. A pedestal shaft is slidably mounted to the tongue of the implement and is coupled to the tractor PTO by a telescopic shaft which during turning and certain rolling and or pitching conditions of the tractor acts to cause rearward shifting of the pedestal shaft from a normal operating position. A spring assembly resists the rearward movement of the pedestal shaft and returns it to its normal position once the condition which caused its rearward movement no longer exists.
