When using a cross auger assembly on a crop harvesting header with aflexible frame having end frame sections pivotal relative to a centre framesection,mounting devices are coupled between the bearing housings at opposing ends ofthecross auger assembly and the outer ends of the end frame sections. Eachmountingdevice includes a first mounting structure fixed relative to the outer end ofthe endframe section, a second mounting structure fixed to a portion of therespective bearinghousing, and a flexible mounting arrangement between the mounting structurestoaccommodate variation in lateral positioning of the bearing housings relativeto theends of the flexible frame as the flexible frame flexes over varying groundcontourswithout requiring a telescoping shaft arrangement on the cross auger assembly.
