In the case of a mounting device for mounting a support arm, which moves a lifting tool, on a harvesting machine, a cylindrical bushing is mounted on a machine part. The bushing is enclosed by a retaining element on which the end of the support arm opposite the lifting tool is fixed. The bushing has a through-hole that receives a machine part and has an axis of symmetry extending eccentrically relative to the axis of rotation of the cylindrical bushing.
