Abstract: The sunflower harvesting attachment comprises a generally triangular-shaped blade which is attached to a blade mount having an elongated upper plate member, an elongated lower plate member, a space member fixedly attached to and separating the two plate members, and an eyelet member to which the blade is fastened. Two longitudinal grooves extend along either side of the blade mount and are defined by the two plate members and the spacer member. The sunflower harvesting attachment is fastenably inserted in the crop-gathering channel between two adjacent crop dividers or deck plates with the cutting edge of blade disposed in the direction of operationally movement of the implement head so that as the stalks of the sunflowers enter the crop-gathering channel they are severed and the sunflower portion is fed through the implement header and combine into a holding bin.

Abstract: The identification tag is in the form of a flexible plastic disc having a fastening portion in the shape of an inverted T, the stem of the T extending from a peripheral portion of the disc. A U-shaped strip of metal serves as an inserting tool and is arranged to straddle the disc, a first arm terminating in a square end and the second arm being longer than the first arm and terminating in a point. The arrangement is such that the inverted T-shape can be flexed towards an upright position so that the square end of the first arm can be received between the stem and cross portion of the T with the second arm holding the underside of the second cross portion of the T and stem in their flexed positions. A cow's ear is then pierced by the point on the second arm, the first arm urging the T-shape through the cut opening. Withdrawal of the U-shaped arms then permits the T-shape to flex back to its normal position to secure the tag to the cow's ear.
