A grain pan assembly for a combine harvester and including a sectional grain pan proper having a fixed rear section and a hinged forward door section capable of being swung out of the general plane of the grain pan to an inclined lowered position where both sections of the grain pan, as well as other adjacent combine instrumentalities, are exposed and accessible for inspection or maintenance. A novel hinge construction at the juncture region between the two sections allows the hinged door section to be freely swung between its raised and lowered positions and also, when desired, to be lifted from its supported relationship relative to the fixed section for complete removal from the combine, thereby establishing an increased working area for grain pan removal or for purposes of repair or replacement.
