Abstract: An apparatus for harvesting and windrowing of corn utilizes one or more conveyor units swingably mounted to a corn harvesting implement such as a combine or corn picker and has horizontally moving cutting means carried forwardly of the conveyor units. As the implement moves through a field of standing corn, the cutting means severs the cornstalks as harvesting heads on the implement engage the stalk and strip the corn ears from the stalk. The conveyors receive and transport the severed stalks to a cornstalk discharge location between the conveyor units to create a cornstalk windrow along the path of the traveling implement. Corn plant residue, such as leaves, kernels, ear husks and the like, resulting from husking, are discharged from the implement and guided by deflector plates onto the windrow to be retained there for curing and later pickup.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for straightening combine rasp bars mounted on a rasp bar wheel. The device includes a bar having at one end a surface designed to engage the rasp bar axle. The other end of the bar is telescopingly received in a sleeve having located therein a bolt for adjustably positioning the bar within the sleeve. Attached to the outside of the sleeve is a wedge which serves to engage the inner side of the rasp bar so that the rasp bar may be bent outward to its original position by use of the positioner between the bar and the sleeve. Attached outwardly of the engaging wedge on the sleeve is an underslung receiving pocket which receives a crossbar having at either end bolts which may be used to force the rasp bar inward.
