(9.) The combination with the overhead binder-shaft having the ejector 4 of an auxiliary discharge-arm fitting on the end of the shaft and detachably secured to the ejector. (10.) The combination of the overhead binder-shaft having a screw-threaded end, the ejector 4 locked to and upon said shaft by the nut 7, having the serrated face 8, and an auxiliary discharge-arm fitting on the projecting end of the shaft and having a detent to engage the serrations of the nut and adapted to be bolted to the ejector. (11.) The combination of the overhead binder-shaft having the screw-threaded end 5, the ejector 4 locked to and upon said shaft by the nut 7 screwing upon the shaft, a curved auxiliary discharge-arm x having a tubular hub-like socket 2 fitting over the end of the shaft, a radial arm 3 projecting from the socket and adapted to be bolted to the ejector 4, serrations 8 on the outer face of the nut, and a detent 9 on the socket of the discharge-arm adapted to interlock with the serrations of the nut. (12.) The combination and arrangement of the binder-frame, a swinging crane hinge-jointed to the harvester-frame, and a cranked joint-pin journalled in the outer end of the crane and pivotally connected to the binder-frame. (13.) The crane, consisting of two members pivoted to the brackets 60 and 70, and united at their outer ends, where they are provided with the brace 15, the eyes 100 and 16, and the hinge-pin 112, having the cranked end, which is pivotally connected to the binder-frame. (14.) The manner of supporting the bundle-carrier, which consists in mounting it on horizontally swinging pivoted cranes. (15.) The combination and arrangement of the cranes 90 and 19, the outward arms 18 and 24, and the bundle-carrier rail secured to the latter.
