That is, the grain stalks cut by the cutting section 18 are conveyed along the side surfaces of a handling chamber (not shown) while being sandwiched between a feed chain and a rail (not shown). During this transport process, threshing is performed in the handling room. The grains thus threshed and sorted are mixed with the above-mentioned
And is supplied to the grain tank 22.

Here, in the present invention, the grain tank 22 is formed of a synthetic resin,
A recess extending in the front-rear direction of the fuselage 12 in the middle of the height direction 2
A groove is formed , and a flasher lamp is attached to the groove so that the flasher lamp can be seen from the front-rear direction of the body 12 and does not protrude from the groove 28 .

That is, the grain tank 22 is mounted on the body 1
2 are arranged vertically on one side in a front view in the left-right direction, and are made of synthetic resin such as polycarbonate or vinyl chloride. A recessed groove 28 extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the machine body 12 is formed in a middle portion of the grain tank 22 in the height direction. A shielding plate 32 made of a metal plate or a synthetic resin plate is attached so as to cover a halfway portion of the groove 28 in the depth direction.
