ABSTRACT:
A self-propelled crop harvester has opposite upright frame sides in truss form with horizontal frame members extending between them. A grain tank in saddle configuration straddles crop processing means and an engine, and sections of the walls of the saddle portions of the tank serve as the center bays of the truss frame sides. The saddle portions of the tank are also structurally connected at their lower extremities to the housing of a transverse auger conveyor which transfers grain from one saddle portion of the tank to the other. In addition to its conveyor function, the housing serves as a horizontal frame member. The transverse conveyor housing, and the front and rear axle assemblies which interconnect the frame sides at their forward and rearward ends respectively, all have substantial torsion strength. The principal functional units of the harvester are self contained, and pinned joints are used to facilitate their assembly to and removal from the harvester as modular units.
