Title: Combine harvester with an axial-flow threshing and separating unit

Abstract: A combine harvester in which an axial-flow threshing and separating unit is carried transversely of the harvester by a support structure which is fixed releasably to the cutting table of the harvester. This construction enables the combine harvester to be dismantled into three main units--the cutting table, the threshing and separating unit with its support structure, and a rear part of the harvester--so as to simplify considerably the assembly, disassembly and transportation of the harvester.
