Abstract
A header attachment mechanism for a combine is disclosed wherein a front face member is rotatably attached to the forward end of the feeder house for movement in a fore-and-aft direction and a cradle assembly is pivotally attached to the front face member for rotation generally about the line of travel in a substantially transversely extending plane. By connecting the header to this attachment mechanism, the header can be both adjusted to laterally float relative to the contour of the ground and adjusted to change the cutting angle of the header cutting means relative to the ground through manipulation of the rotation of the cradle assembly and front face member respectively.
