Was looking at another forum (bad boy I know) when I came across a help identify this item post. Don't know if it was for sale and the poster was interested in it or not, but it was a bar rake, painted blue.
The replies were either Ford or New Idea, and at first glance looked possible. Got to looking at it later on again and my wife came into the office, looked at it and said "other than the rear axle being straight that looks just like our AC". I realize you have the right to paint your stuff whatever color trips your trigger, but to me if it's something you're selling make sure to paint it the right colors or be sure to let the purchaser know who manufactured it. There was a manure spreader for sale near here a few years ago, painted JD colors, but to my knowledge JD never made a end discharge flail spreader. Hope that whoever bought it knew or was told that it was a New Idea.
