An inclined conveyor assembly for a combine has a housing, an upper inclined conveyor roller rotatably mounted at the rear of the housing, and a lower inclined conveyor roller positioned at the front end of the housing. An endless conveying element has drivers and rotates about the lower and upper inclined conveyor rollers. A pendulum frame on which a harvester head can be mounted articulates at the front end of the housing and is pivotable about a pendulum shaft. The pendulum shaft is inclined at a rearward and upward angle.
