Abstract
A mechanism for adjusting stripper plates for a header of a harvester, including a frame extending outward from a gearbox with actuated stripper plates slidably engaged with said frame. The stripper plates may be adjusted to accommodate different sized corn crops or different environmental factors. There further includes an actuator which may engage a rod on a distal end of the actuator with respect to a center member support and the frame. The rod may extend along either half of the header and be configured to affect the position of actuated stripper plates on that half of the header, respectively.
