Abstract
An inter-trolley latching mechanism for a draper header having a pair of shiftable draper sections is disclosed wherein the latching mechanism connects the second draper section to the first draper section for simultaneous movement therewith. A hydraulic cylinder is provided to power the shifting movement of the first draper section in a transverse path relative to the subframe of the header. The latching mechanism selectively connects the two draper sections to permit the hydraulic cylinder to operatively power the transverse movement of both draper sections. A spring loaded retaining mechanism is also provided to lock the second draper section relative to the header subframe when not connected to the first draper section for movement therewith.
