Problem: Some cams on latch finger assemblies are worn from lack of lubrication.
Problem: Some rear crossmembers of sweep frames are bent or broken because of neglect and years of frequent jams.
Problem: Some latch finger assemblies are bent up at the #5 and rear pin positions.
Solution:



The lever keeps all forward and rear force contained in the tube deck and changes it to upward force against the upper deck. The spring loaded rod mounted in the upper deck never moves during normal operation but the spring will compress in the event of a jam to keep parts from wearing or breaking.
