Shear frame mounting and positioning mechanism

A mechanism for mounting and positioning a shear frame containing at least one set of linearly reciprocal shear blades under a feeder spout, said mechanism comprising:

• a. a mounting bracket for attachment to said feeder spout;
• b. a vertically orientated shaft having its upper end mounted for rotation in said mounting bracket and carried thereby;
• c. a hanger bracket assembly attached to the lower portion of said shaft for attachment to said shear frame, said hanger bracket assembly being rotatable with said shaft;
• and
• d. means for tilting said hanger bracket relative to said shaft in a vertical plane extending parallel to the axis of movement of the shear blades.
