Description: Having described the invention what is claimed is:-

1. In a power take-off mechanism, a vehicle supporting platform, a bin at one side thereof, a hopper beneath the platform to receive material from a vehicle upon said platform, an elevating mechanism between the hopper and bin, a discharge spout extending from the elevating mechanism over the bin, a conveyor extending from the hopper to the elevating mechanism, and means operated by a vehicle upon the platform to drive the conveyor and elevating mechanism.

2. In a power take-off mechanism, a vehicle supporting platform, a bin at one side thereof, a hopper beneath the platform to receive material from the vehicle upon said platform, an elevator between the hopper and bin, a conveyor extending from the hopper to the elevator, a hopper in the bottom of the bin, a conveyor extending from the bin hopper to the elevator, a discharge spout extending from the conveyor to direct material either into the hopper or into a vehicle upon the platform, and means operated by a vehicle upon the platform to drive the conveyor and elevator.

3. In a power take-off mechanism, a vehicle supporting platform, a bin at one side thereof, a hopper beneath the platform to receive material from the vehicle upon said platform, an elevator between the hopper and bin, a conveyor extending from the hopper to the elevator, a hopper in the bottom of the bin, a conveyor extending from the bin hopper to the elevator, a discharge spout extending from the conveyor to direct material either into the hopper or into a vehicle upon the platform, means operated by a vehicle upon the platform to drive the conveyor and elevator, and an adjustable abutment at one end of the platform.

4. In a power take-off mechanism, a vehicle supporting platform, a bin at one side thereof, a hopper beneath the platform to receive material from the vehicle upon said platform, an elevator between the hopper and bin, a conveyor extending
from the hopper to the elevator, a hopper in the bottom of the bin, a conveyor extending from the bin hopper to the elevator, a discharge spout extending from the convey to direct material either into the hopper or into a vehicle upon the platform, means operated by a. vehicle upon the platform to drive the conveyor and elevator, and a combined abutment and vehicle elevating member at one end of the platform.

5. In a power take-off mechanism, a bin, vehicle operated means to transfer material from a vehicle into the bin, and vehicle operated means to transfer material from the bin to a vehicle.

6. In a power take-off mechanism, a bin, an elevator, a bin loading conveyor to transfer material from a vehicle to the elevator, a vehicle loading conveyor to transfer material from the bin to the elevator, means to direct material from the elevator either to the bin or vehicle, and vehicle operated means to drive the conveyor and elevator.

7. In a power take-off mechanism, a bin, an elevator, a bin loading conveyor to transfer material from a vehicle to the elevator, a vehicle loading conveyor to transfer material from the bin to the elevator, means to direct material from the elevator either to the bin or vehicle, vehicle operated means to drive the conveyor and elevator, and means to tilt a vehicle during the bin loading operation.
