ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A self-propelled combine has a forward, vertically adjust- able feeder house carrying a transversely elongated harvesting platform at its forward end. A flexible cutter bar is mounted on the leading lower edge of the platform by a plurality of trans- versely spaced independently vertically adjustable arms that per- mit different areas of the cutter bar to adjust independently of the other areas so that the cutter bar is free to follow the contour of the ground. A transverse rockshaft is journaled on the platform rearwardly of the cutter bar and has a plurality of radial feeler arms that engage the respective cutter bar mounting arms, so that as the mounting arms swing upwardly, the rockshaft rotated to a position that corresponds to the uppermost arm. One end of the rockshaft is connected by a suitable linkage to the movable element of an indicator at the side of the platform to give the operator a visual indication of the position of the uppermost area of the cutter bar.
