This invention relates to harvesters, and is especially applicable to that kind thereof known as headers which are pushed from behind by suitable power. Such machines have heretofore been made in which the propelling and driving power was furnished by a team, or by an engine "such as a gasvolene engine.
The object of my invention is to provide a horse propelled machine with a gasolene or similar engine for the purpose of driving the operative parts such as the .cutting apparatus, the grain platform, and the elevator, and4 also the binder when the machine includes binding mechanism.
The improvement will be particularly useful when the grain is wet or the going is heavy, means being provided to throw the engine, in or out ofgear w'hen its power is not needed, in which event the devices referred to will be driven by the horse power as heretofore. In-the accompanying drawings, Figure'l is a plan view of an ordinaryheader show.-
ing the engine and lother parts applied"- thereto, some partsand details being omitted as unnecessary for this disclosure. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fi q1.
Except as hereinafter describe the structure of the machine may bevof any suitable or desired kind, and referring specifically to the drawings, 1 indicates the two main driving and supporting wheels which are mounted on and carry the main axle 7. The thrust vtongue 13Ais rigidly attached at. its front end to the sleeve casing 17 of the axle and projects rearwardly therefrom as usual,
and is provided near its rear end with the whiftletree 111 to which the draft animals are attached, as well as with an operators platform 15, and the rear caster wheel 16 by which the machineis guided or turned. The
axle casing supports the frame of the ma-- Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 533,242.
drives a sprocket 3 loose on a counter or cross shaft 8 supported in suitable bearings on the longitudinal bars 18. From the stubble end of the countershaft 8 motion is communicated to the cutting mechanism 9.1, as well as to the platform 22, elevator 23, and to a binder if used, by means of gearing or transmission devices which need not be particularly described, and which may be such as are suitable for the purpose and as are found in ordinary machines.
Feathered upon the shaft 8 is a clutch member 6 arranged to copera'te with a clutch member 2li fastened to 01 made integral with the wheel 3,'and the clutch member (i is shifted to engage or disengage the clutch by means of a bent lever 25 and a rod 2G connected to the hand lever 27 which is conveniently located adjacent to the platform 15. IVhen the clutch referred to is shifted into engagement the cutting and other mechanisms will be driven from the main axle, in consequence of thetraction of the supporting wheels, as in the ordinary han vester. p
Conveniently mounted upon the axle casing 17, adjacent the front end of thethrust tongue, is a gasolene or other engine 1, the 'Hy or other wheel of which is connected by a belt 30 to a clutch wheel 31 loose on the countershaft 8. The engine may be of any desired construction.
Feather-ed upon the shaft 8 is a shaft-or clutch member 10 arranged to engage the clutch wheel 3l, and operated by means of a lever 32 connected by aI rod '33 to a hand leverQS adjacent the operators platform.
By the means described the cutting mechanism and other parts of the harvester may be operated by the gasolene engine, and to do this, the clutch 6 is first disengaged and `the clutch 10 engaged. Then, t-he machine heavy, or when the machine is operating in soft soil.
What claim as new is In a harvesting machine, the combination with aframe, axle and traction wheels supporting the frame, draftdevices for'draft 1o' shaft, -both of said clutches being operatively located on the shaft, and means to engage and disengage the respective clutches, whereby said mechanisms may be driven by either the wheels or the engine.
In testimony whereof, I ahx my signature 15 in presence of two witnesses.
