Abstract: A cutting platform for use with an agricultural harvesting machine includes a plurality of platform sections. At least one platform section includes a cutterbar assembly movable in a localized manner in upwards and downwards directions, an endless belt having a leading edge, a plurality of belt supports mounted to the cutterbar assembly, and a plurality of belt guides. Each belt support is at least partially positioned under the leading edge of the endless belt, and includes at least one upwardly extending clip. Each belt guide partially overlies the leading edge of the endless belt. Each belt guide includes at least one clip hole for receiving a corresponding clip, and a rear surface which is attached to a belt support or the cutterbar assembly.
