I have not posted on this site for about 10 years, but now I need a little help from someone that is a real old timer.
I have a very old hay rake that I have used for years. It has three tooth bars and two large steel wheels. There are also two small steel wheels in the rear. (One of mine is missing) There is a gear box on the right side that has a triangle shaped hinged cover. It also has traces of green paint on some of the angle iron. I thought it was a JD until I discovered it has a small metal tag on the back side of the brace that the tongue attaches to. It says New Idea R-87. I assumed that R87 was the model number. But a search of New Idea R87 returns nothing. Can anybody help me figure out what this is?
The link is a picture of a rake that looks about like mine. The owner of that rake says it is a R140.
Since I broke a bar last season it is now time to fix it/tighten it up a little.
