Jeff: I've got a Ford 501 rake, which I suspect is pretty close to identical the 503. The long sheet metal 'thingy' is called a stripper and basically cleans the hay off the teeth as they move up and down...should be adjusted so it's about 1/4" to 1/2" away from the teeth at their closest point. You can get a manual reprint from New Holland, which might help you with adjustments and such. Mine was a great rake 'til I ran it into a half-open gate while daydreaming (forgot it's 11' wide!). Wanted to buy a new stripper, which got bent severely--thing is still available but is about $200 from the dealer, so I bought a new rake that I don't like as much. The 501 is now a yard ornament (sad face). anyway, good luck with it. New Holland stocks parts for all the old Ford products, though the specialty parts (like the stripper) are pricey. good luck, Tom
