Abstract
A cutterbar knife drive cleaning apparatus for a header of an agricultural harvester is disclosed. The apparatus cleans the knife drives by discharging pressurized air from an apertured conduit toward the knife drive. Movement of a cutterbar supporting arm causes rotation of the conduit to produce a sweeping action of an air curtain over the knife drive in order to blow dirt and debris from the knife drive as the harvester traverses a field.
