I bought around 40 hay rake teeth for 2 steel wheel Case side rakes. Put them on and ran them. The teeth were too long. In operation, which I noticed later afrter the damage, they actually knocked the rust off of the center bar. I bent up around a doz. I got these from T _ _. I was going to buy replacemwents from them, but they had a fire in the bldg. so I went home and ordered them from a catalog parts house. Found out the first was 2in too long.
QUESTION
Can I cut off 2in from the ends of those remaining and put a slight bend in them and make them work. I thought id cut them with a torch and bend them and set one in a can of oil. Do another and pull the first out and put in the next, and so on. Do you think they will work alright?
I bought a whole full set of the right ones for one rake. That's pretty expensive buying. I cant take these back as ive already used them.
