  • Patent number: 4037745
    Abstract: In a two-stage combine grain tank unloading system, grain is conveyed upward by a generally upright but forwardly inclined auger conveyor, through a transition housing into a generally horizontal unloading auger conveyor, which can be swingably adjusted, to discharge the grain away from the side of the combine, in a range of positions called an unloading zone. The unloading auger conveyor is rigidly attached to the transition housing which is free to swivel on a ring surrounding the upper end of the upright auger conveyor housing. The drive for the horizontal unloading auger is taken from the upright auger through a bevel gear case mounted partly within the transition housing.
