Abstract
A method for repositioning a cutterbar assembly of a header of an agricultural harvester. The header includes a chassis. The cutterbar assembly includes a cutterbar and a supporting arm. The method includes steps of connecting one end of the supporting arm to the chassis, further connecting the supporting arm to the chassis via a down-stop linkage assembly positionable between first and second positions, engaging a lockout tool with the down-stop linkage assembly, applying a torque to the down-stop linkage assembly via the lockout tool, and repositioning the down-stop linkage assembly from either the first position or the second position upon application of the torque. An opposite end of the supporting arm is connected to the cutterbar. In the first position, the cutterbar is positioned distal to a front end of the chassis, and in the second position, the cutterbar is positioned proximal to the front end of the chassis.
