Abstract
A faceplate sub-assembly for an agricultural vehicle includes a faceplate and at least one biasing element. The faceplate is configured to be connected between (i) a feederhouse defining an inlet opening through which crop material is delivered for processing by the agricultural vehicle, and (ii) a header of the agricultural vehicle. The faceplate is configured to be pivotably mounted to the feederhouse such that the faceplate is configured for lateral tilting relative to the feederhouse. The at least one biasing element has one end connected to the faceplate and another end that is configured to be connected to the feederhouse for reducing a friction force at the interface between the faceplate and the feederhouse to accommodate lateral tilting of the faceplate.
