Have located a JD pull type rake Model #858A, serial#88972. Sitting in pasture, both tires gone.
Does anybody know what year it was made?
Good points of this model?
Bad points of this model?
Are JD parts and operator manuals available?
Can widely available teeth such as TSC be used?
What kind of tires; special lugs?
Parts availability?
Thanks

It seems to me that an old side-delivery rake with a straight drive axle is better than a newer rake with a U-joint axle because U-joints need greasing and replacing. We had a 640 U-joint rake and went to wheel rakes.

This was a pretty good rake, from what I have read. The only complaint would be that the axle is not parallel to the basket, which really only makes a difference if you have uneven ground. Later rakes had this feature. Most parts are available from mother Deere as are the manuals. The TSC and similar rubber mounted teeth, do not last as long as those from Deere. If the rake is going to spend most of its life outside, get coil spring teeth, the rubber will deteriorate too quickly. I have the similar design, but lighter duty model 896, and it works just fine. As the other post said, I would look for some "traction" type tires. Snow tires are better than ribbed implement or plain car tires. Mine has the original tires which have a different style traction tread, not a lugged tractor style , but a raised wavy tread. I'm sure this tread is no longer produced. I would go with a tractor lugged style tire, which I believe is still available.

Tom,
Think those were made in late 50's, early 60's. Very good rake. My brother still uses the one my father had. Don't know about manuals for sure but bet they are available from Deere. I do know that the rubber mounted teeth are available from TSC or other farm supply stores and also from Deere. It would be best if you used a severe tread tire on it as they will slide pretty easily with just a ribbed or regular highway tread type of tire. Just my honest and humble opinion. Good luck.
