A hydraulically driven drive reversing mechanism (30), attachable to a combine (10) to reverse the drive to the header and feeder house components (16, 19,...), is disclosed wherein the reversing mechanism (30) is contained within a gearbox (37) detachably connected with the header drive shaft (25). The reversing mechanism (30) is substantially self-contained within the gearbox (37) and connectable to a source of hydraulic power (32) to provide an optional drive reversing capability for substantially any combine (10). The reversing mechanism (30) includes a first gear (42) splined onto the header drive shaft (25) for rotation therewith, a second free wheeling gear (44) mounted within the gearbox (37) in an intermeshing relationship with the first gear (42) for rotation therewith and a clutch (50) selectively engageable with the second gear (44) to transfer rotational power from a hydraulic motor (32) to affect a rotation of the header drive shaft (25) in a reverse direction. |
