DRIVING STRUCTURE OF GRAIN-COLLECTING PART IN COMBINE HARVESTER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make compact and simplify a transmission mechanism from an engine to a bottom screw of a grain-collecting tank, while making the right and the left weight balance of a machine body proper, by installing the engine in the inside of the machine body in a driving structure of a grain-collecting part, in a combine harvester which is constituted by arranging a threshing device and the grain-collecting tank in parallel on the right and the left positions, laterally arranging the engine in the front side of the grain-collecting tank, and constituting the structure so that motive power is transmitted to the front end part of the bottom screw of the grain-collecting tank. SOLUTION: The driving structure of the grain-collecting part in the combine harvester is constituted, such that the output shaft 63 is protruded from the engine 4 in the horizontal outer direction of the machine body, and an intermediate transmission shaft 71 is supported horizontally in the front side of the grain-collecting tank 8; the position of the intermediate transmission shaft 71 in the inside of the machine body is connected to the output shaft 63 of the engine 4 so as to be interlocked; and the position of the intermediate transmission shaft 71, in the outside of the machine body, is connected interlockingly to the front-end part of the bottom screw 10.
