ABSTRACT:
A pull-type crop harvesting implement has a mobile frame which may be converted from a forward harvesting mode to a lateral transport mode by utilizing a first jack to support a left forward end of the frame, pivoting a field tongue connected to the left forward frame end from a forwardly-extending position, in which it may be coupled to a tractor for towing the implement in a forward direction in its harvesting mode, to a transversely-extending fixed position, pivoting the one of two spaced-apart ground wheels which is mounted at the left rearward frame end from a forwardly-directed position to a transversely-directed position, disposing a transport tongue at the right lateral side of the frame in a fixed position extending outwardly from the right lateral frame side, supporting the right lateral frame side by utilizing a second jack, removing the other of two ground wheels which is mounted at the right rearward frame side in a forwardly-directed position and remounting the other wheel in a transversely-directed position along the transversely-extending field tongue, and then removing the support at the left forward frame end being provided by the first jack. The tractor may then be coupled to the transport tongue for towing the implement laterally or in a direction transverse to the forward direction after the support being provided by the second jack is removed.
