503 rake

[NEFord]

I have an old 503 rake that needs a few parts. Where can I buy 6 hangers that hold the double rake teeth and two shields to go over the teeth?
Also, is there any advice out there for operating this rake?

Haven't had to buy the parts you mention, but my 'local' NH dealer (45 miles away) ordered in the parts I needed for mine last year, no problem. As far as operating advice.... make sure the castor height and top link lenght are adjusted so the teeth don't hit the ground, and use sway bars to keep it straight behind your tractor. And if you decide you don't like it, give it to me.
