PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a combine harvester, hardly causing the disadvantage that a grain tank is brought into contact with other objects by careless oscillating operation of the grain tank in maintenance.SOLUTION: In a combine harvester, the rear part of a grain tank 11 is connected to a feeding conveyer 16 erected on a machine frame to rotate around a vertical shaft center X, and the grain tank 11 can be oscillated on the feeding conveyer as a support shaft extending from the working position adjacent to a thresher and the maintenance position away from the thresher toward the lateral outside of the machine body. The combine harvester includes: a holding mechanism 60 for locating and holding the grain tank 11 at the maintenance position extending between a strut 24 erected on the machine body frame so as to support the feeding conveyer 16 and the feeding conveyer 16.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】メンテナンス時における穀粒タンクの不用意な揺動操作によって穀粒タンクを他物に接触させる不都合を招き難くする。【解決手段】機体フレームに縦軸心X回りに回動可能に立設した揚送コンベヤ16に穀粒タンク11の後部を連結して、穀粒タンク11を、脱穀装置に隣接する作業位置と脱穀装置から機体横外方に離れるメンテナンス位置とにわたって、揚送コンベヤ16を支軸とした揺動操作が可能となるように構成したコンバインにおいて、揚送コンベヤ16を支持するように機体フレームに立設した支柱24と揚送コンベヤ16とにわたって、穀粒タンク11をメンテナンス位置に位置保持する保持機構60を備えた。【選択図】図4
