ABSTRACT:
An easily assembled and accessible tank structure for a cotton harvester wherein three tanks are located on the rear of the harvester frame behind the engine and partially over the rear steerable wheels. The frame includes a rear transverse beam which is removable during harvester assembly to provide an opening so that the tanks, which include supporting ledge structure, can be aligned with the frame and slid horizontally to an assembled position. Once the tank structure is slid into position, the rear transverse beam is reattached and cooperates with bracket structure to prevent fore-and-aft tank movement. The harvester is painted prior to assembly of the tanks onto the frame to avoid masking and overspray problems, and the rear tank locations provide good weight distribution.
