Abstract

A locking mechanism for the height adjusting suspension system of side delivery rake is disclosed. A support trunnion bearing for the rotatable axially-adjustable height control rod of a rake has at least one crown thereon to cooperatively engage a mating washer which is biased into contact therewith by a compression suspension spring to thereby impede relative rotational movement between the rod and the bearing.
