Thanks for the reply. Don't know if I made myself clear- The hitch is broken only where it connects to the tractor drawbar. Actally the lower lip where the drawbar pin goes through is OK-not even bent. The broken piece is the top lip that the drawbar pin goes through. That piece is missing/lost but should be a quick fix. The rake neck going to the hitch is fine. I don't know how it got broke but it had been fixed before-there is an old weld bead where it broke. I don't see any evidence that it hurt the rake anywhere else. I imagine that it broke going through a deep ditch or something-????? My imagination sometimes ain't much good. I was asking about converting this rake to one that has the permanent wheel on the front and is pulled (while in use)by a tounge like a wagon. That is the only style I have personally used but have had several guys tell me that they are much better( more manuverable, shorter turning) than one without the wheel in front. Do you (or anyone) agree or disagree with that? It appears that the wheel apperatust would be a bolt on job-judging by how the hitch is now bolted to the neck. I called the JD dealership to see if they had a kit but they could only order the indivudual parts and after he got to about $600 with a bunch more parts needed I told him to "juss ferget 'bout it" Thanks, Greg
