Abstract
An apparatus for removing and storing outer wheel assemblies from combines being transported on public roads is disclosed. The apparatus includes a pivoting dual-boom crane temporarily mounted to an attachment frame of a combine. The crane swings over either outside wheel assembly and provides a lifting support for installing or removing the wheel assembly. A dual-boom crane includes a wheel bar configured to grip and lift a wheel assembly. The wheel assemblies are then secured on the apparatus such that the combine can be transported over public roadways without exceeding a typical width limit.
