PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an operating device of a combine harvester free from the trouble of sudden stop of the combine harvester even by mistakenly pressing a rake-in pedal during forward traveling, and enabling easy adjustment of the culm reaping stopping position at the levee side by the rake-in pedal to prevent the occurrence of remaining crop.SOLUTION: The operating device of the combine harvester is provided with a linking mechanism 21 to link a rake-in pedal 2 and a main transmission shift lever 3 in a manner to inhibit the pressing of the rake-in pedal 2 in the case that both of the rake-in pedal 2 to disconnect the power transmission to a traveling apparatus 1 and the main transmission shift lever 3 to change the traveling direction and the traveling speed of the traveling apparatus 1 are not linked only when the main transmission shift lever 3 is operated to the forward traveling side, and to shift the transmission shift lever 3 from the backward moving side to a neutral side according to the pressing of the rake-in pedal when the main transmission shift lever 3 is operated to the backward motion side.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】前進走行中に誤って掻込ペダルを踏むことがあっても急停止することが無く、掻込ペダルで畦際での穀稈刈取停止位置を調整し易くして刈り残しを無くする。【解決手段】走行装置1への動力伝動を断つ掻込ペダル2と走行装置1の走行方向と走行速度を変更する主変速レバー3とを、該主変速レバー3が前進側に操作されている時のみ掻込ペダル2の踏込みが不可能になり、後進側に操作されている時に掻込ペダル2を踏込むとその踏込みに伴って主変速レバー3を後進側から中立に移動させるよう掻込ペダル2と主変速レバー3を連係させる連繋機構21を設けてなるコンバインの操作装置の構成とした。【選択図】図3
