I recently acquired an International #15 hay rake. Does anyone have one of these that they could take close-up pictures of the tongue? I am missing the lower part (I think it is some sort of stand). Also, the two main rails - they start at the rear axle, and curve forward to the front - aren't the same level off the ground. Is this normal? Any pictures would be great!
Thanks, Tex

Texp, your rake likely had an adjustable swing up stand which was common on rakes, when you had it adjusted for your tractor you dropped it down and backed up a few inches and the stand would catch the ground and as it straightened it would lift the rake tongue up from the draw bar enought to pull the pin and drive away. There was usually a chain and pin to lock it in that position so the rake wouldn't "fall down" of the stand.When you wanted the rake you backed up hooked on , pulled the pin and drove ahead till the stand folded and you pulled it up out of the way and locked it up with the same chain. As for your main rails, they should be parallel, the frame may be bent slightly. the main thing is that the "basket" that carries the tines is parallel to the ground, being the same distance off the ground at each end. There is an adjustment for them, usually a threaded rod that you adjust up or down at either side, usually on the side frame. I used one of those I borrowed from a neighbour, it worked well. I have a New Idea rake which is of similair design. As to your stand you can buy a cranking stand at TSC and mount it on the tongue and it will work very well, maybe more convenient than the original. Mike in Exeter Ontario
