Abstract

A method and means for adjusting a forage harvester shear bar relative to its rotating cylinder. The outer end of the shear bar, the central portion of the shear bar and the inner end of the shear bar can all be selectively adjusted while the cylinder is rotating, these adjustments being made from the outer or operator's side of the harvester and at a common location. All of the shear bar adjusting means are located at one convenient and safe area at the outer or operator's side of the machine and the operator can accurately adjust the outer, central or inner end of the bar by noting the 'tick' noise created when the particular end or portion of the shear bar being adjusted touches or comes in contact with the rotating knife of the cylinder. This method and structure for permitting the operator to accurately adjust any portion of the shear bar while the cylinder is rotating and to make these adjustments without being endangered by the rotating cylinder results in adjustments which can be quickly and safely made.
