A disc mower incorporates a modular disc cutterbar surrounded by a flexible canopy supported from a frame. A split guard is mounted to the distal end of the mower canopy to keep objects away from the end of the disc cutterbar. The guard presents a smooth contiguous surface to prevent debris and crop material from catching the guard. The guard has an L-shape configuration, including a front member leg oriented to project rearwardly while a rear leg member is oriented to project forwardly. The front and rear legs overlap in line with the transverse pivot axis of said canopy support such that the split guard presents a continuous edge for effectively deflecting crop material.

[ Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:] [1.] In a mower supportable from and operably connectable to a prime mover to receive operative power therefrom, said mower having a frame; a cutterbar pivotally supported at a support end from said frame for movement between a raised transport position and a lowered operative position, said cutterbar having a transversely spaced remote end; a drive mechanism supported from said frame to receive rotational power from said prime mover and transfer the rotational power to said cutterbar for operably driving said cutterbar; and a protective canopy substantially surrounding said cutterbar and including a canopy support positioned above said cutterbar, said canopy support having a distal end corresponding to said remote end of said cutterbar, the improvement comprising:a guard member supported on the distal end of said canopy support and projecting laterally outwardly therefrom away from said cutterbar and said protective canopy.
