Abstract

An improved grain elevator is provided for a combine to transfer clean grain from the cleaning mechanism to a temporary, pivotally mounted, grain holding tank. The grain transfer elevator comprises a generally transversely and horizontally extending first auger disposed below the cleaning mechanism and connected to a second auger which extends upwardly in a transverse inclined direction through the bottom wall of the grain tank to a position at the top middle of the tank for discharging clean grain therein. The second auger includes separate parts releasably coupled together to thereby permit disengagement thereof for allowing the grain tank to be tipped for unloading.
