A conveyor belt tensioning arrangement for an agricultural harvesting header (), the agricultural harvesting header () with the conveyor belt tensioning arrangement, and an agricultural combine having the agricultural harvesting header () are described herein, the arrangement comprising a conveyor belt roller () supported on a roller carriage (), the conveyor belt roller () being spring-loaded to maintain tension in the conveyor belt (), the conveyor belt roller () also being supported to pivot about an axis generally perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the conveyor belt roller ().

Conveyor belt tensioner for an agricultural harvesting header

An agricultural harvesting machine including a flexible cutterbar and associated draper belts for carrying cut agricultural material to a center location. The belts are guided by a drive rollers and idler rollers. The idler roller for each belt is pivotable about an axis generally at 90 degrees to the axis of the belt and the drive roller for each belt is translatable axially to minimize diagonal stresses caused by flexing of the elongated endless belt.

Flexible draper belt drive for an agricultural harvesting machine

A reel finger for use on a harvesting header for an agricultural machine includes an elongate member having a proximal end and a distal end. The elongate member has a retaining member located at the proximal end. A plate member is connected to the elongate member with the distal end of the elongate member extending beyond the plate member. The plate member has a continuous smooth front surface for engaging a crop in a direction of crop engagement that covers a portion of the elongate member not extending beyond the plate member. The plate member has a back surface opposite to the front surface.
