Bryce, those rakes had the stripper bars spaced every third tooth instead of just about all other makes, Old 3 bar Case was like that but the 4 bar was every other tooth like all the others. If you were in driving distance of me I would take it right now at the $200. Getting back to working shape I would get $500 from an Amish Machinery jocky and he would put it on his lot for $700 and get it. You could get a kit for the later 594 rakes to move the stripper bars to the every other tooth setting like most rakes and it would work a lot better in shorter hay. Look on your frame and if it is drilled for a every tooth spacing on those bars it is a later one and that was also a kit that you could get for very short stuff, most with the every tooth stripper bar were called mint rakes. And the high axle you can get over a previous winrow to rake 2 together where that McCormick No. 5 in your picture with the low axle you cannot do that as it will just want to drag. And that No. 5 rake takes a unique tooth that only fits that one model. I have a frame of a No. 5 setting here I bought just to get the teeth to finnish up one I had gotten last year and converted over to steel as that is what My buyer wanted but now he thinks he will be stuck with it because of that stupid low axle. I am going to be cutting up this No. 5 frame as they are not worth fixing up. Bought it at auction for less than it would have cost me to get the teeth I needed new and then the clips that hold the teeth on I can use on other rakes as they are the same for the 3 & 4 bar high wheel rakes that are also in big demand. You cannot drive any faster with that McCormick than you can with the Deere or you would be beating the hay to bad. Did not keep a good count on rakes this year but think it was about 10, perhaps 12 that I redid and last year was a dozen and year before could not do any because of ilness but in previous years have done several. Probably have handled at least 50 of those type of rakes and have hauled 250+ mile one way to get them. I have used the frame of two different rakes to make one and then parts off yet some more.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
