Michael... Yes and no! A friend gave me a working JD 214 baler last fall, so at least the expensive machine was taken care of, but was looking for a sickle mower and rake when I posted. Found the first pair through Dan from Ellensburg who spotted them in the Yakima Herald classifieds. Connected with him here in this board, and he kindly offered to keep an eye peeled. I was about to go up and look at them, but then found some closer to home through a in-house classified at work that then showed up in the Giant Nickel. Bought a 7-ft New Idea mower that used to be pull and was converted to 3-pt/pto for $150. Needs one guard and one small weld, but otherwise, supposedly works. Bought a 3-pt drag scoop/bucket from the same seller for $50 that just needed a couple of cat 1 pins and the bucket pivot balls cleaned and lubed. After that, he threw in a Ferguson side-delivery rake that "needs work" :) that he had been asking $30 for. After looking it over at home, I think I could fix it, but too many projects this winter so don't have the time. So, am back to looking for a rake. Trying to connect with the one in Yakima again, but it may be sold. Thanks for replying!
