ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for transporting a crop harvesting header, attachable to a combine to sever standing crop and initiate the crop harvesting process, is disclosed wherein the apparatus is mounted on and carried with the header in a retracted position during the normal crop harvesting process until it is desirable to transport the header. A first wheel assembly is pivotally movable into a ground engaging position to support a part of the weight of the header above the ground for transport. A second wheel assembly is removed from a mounting bracket on the back of the header and is connected to the cutterbar in longitudinal alignment with the first wheel assembly. An axle is provided to interconnect the first and second wheel assemblies to provide a stable wheeled undercarriage for the transport of the header. A tongue is extracted from within the frame of the header for connection to the rearward end of the combine, resulting in the header being towed as its own carrier in a transverse attitude behind the combine.
