Abstract: A combine for harvesting a crop has a threshing assembly with a threshing rotor and a threshing grate. The threshing assembly locates within the framework of the combine. A threshing assembly frame mounts to the threshing assembly and is removably mounted to the framework of the combine so that the threshing assembly is held within the framework. The threshing assembly frame has a support leg for engaging the ground so that the frame and threshing assembly can be supported in a freestanding position when removed from the combine. The frame is oriented in the freestanding position to facilitate mounting of the threshing assembly frame and threshing assembly to the framework. The frame has a pair of side members that are located on opposite sides of threshing assembly which correspond to guide members mounted to the framework. The side members allow the threshing assembly frame to be inserted into and pulled out of the framework of the combine.

Abstract: A grain storage unit for a combine is provided having a grain bin which has a lower section which is divided into two compartment by means of a partition. The partition has sloped surfaces to facilitate the flow of grain to the intakes of two conveyor systems. The conveyor systems include a discharge conveyor and an auxiliary conveyor. The discharge conveyor is provided with plurality of paddles joined to a flexible linkage which is continuously moved throughout the interior of a discharge conveyor housing. Grain from one of the compartments of the grain bin is collected through an intake of the discharge conveyor housing and is delivered upwards and away from the combine through a discharge located at the end of the discharge conveyor housing opposite the intake. The auxiliary conveyor has an inlet located within the other of the two compartments for removing grain therefrom. The auxiliary conveyor has a conveyor housing which opens into the housing of the discharge conveyor.
