What brand of rake?

A customer of ours is selling her hay equipment and is wondering what brand of rake this is? I was guessing a New Idea or a IH?

I cannot see the ends of the real close enough to be able to tell if it is a McCormick 4 bar enclosed gear rake or a Massey Harris. They are so close that it is very hard to tell and parts interchange. I had a McCormic with bad reel and got a what I thought was a McCormicl real, slightly later model and put it in. years later I found out it was a massey real. From your name I think you are quite a ways from me but I am looking to buy any and all rakes in any condition in that type but I think Iowa is too far from Ohio. Deffinatly not a New Idea. Wish I could find a couple of dozen of thse style New Idea rakes.
 
You know I never thought of Massey Harris. I didn't recall seeing the tie rod connecting the tail wheels before. Thanks guys.

Yeah it is in Iowa and will be on a sale in Waukon on April 21st if anyone is interested.

See if yo can find any stampings on gearbox or axel end caps.
Such as IH JD MH NI if you find any of the sort you know vhat kind it is.
 
Here is a picture of one we have at Farmamerica. It is a Minnesota; made in the Minnesota State Prison. It looks similar to yours.
I had a second pic, but couldn't get that one to upload.

After looking at that picture I am going to agree that it is a Minnesota. I have not seen it in person, the pictures were emailed to me.
 
I have an old hay rake. I think it is a New Idea, it is on rubber. Could be for sale. It is in Ohio.
