Abstract
An agricultural combine is provided with electronic controller cards for assisting in controlling and monitoring the combine. The cards are housed in an enclosure located adjacent to the operator's cab above the ground engaging wheels. The enclosure comprises a box mounted in an aperture formed in the supporting structure and a cover which can be latched to the box. The cover is provided with a number of inwardly extending fingers each having a receiving groove for holding the electronic controller cards. The fingers are arranged in pairs for engaging the cards between the fingers. Openings in the cover are located adjacent to each finger pair for providing an opening through which the electronic controller car held therein can communicate with the wiring harness of the combine. Each opinion is provided with an outwardly extending and encircling flange which engaged a rubber boot of the wiring harness.
