Case Rake

[Ande]

Had this rake, a few years. Never used. Most of them now get crushed

Have one was my Grandfather's. Last time I used it I had twine in one pocket, wire in the other. Stopped frequently to add some . Now it's parked by the road for the passers by to appreciate.

Dan,

My Dad had one with a tractor hitch and my Uncle Dave had one with a horse pole. We used them until they were completely worn out. Good rakes for their day. When I was a kid there were more Case hay rakes and grain drills than any other brand in this area.

My Grandpa had the same rake back in the day, first side delivery I ever operated. Started raking at six years old after one of my Uncles showed me the ropes as how to rake hay was pulling it with a B Allis. What a thrill for a young boy! Sadly it was sold at Grandpa's Auction in the early 70's, Your picture brings back a lot of good memories.

We have two of them sitting in the pasture, one had rubber tires the other on steel.

I believe that rake can also be set to Ted hay. I dont know how, but I've seen advertisements on it.

I had a Case hay rake very much like that one some 40 years ago. I bought it from an auction sale for $26.00, and it had done very little work before I got it. I probably dragged it around near ten years, and it still was working when I parked it and bought a brand new NH rake/tedder. It was sitting at my dad’s place and he sold the big wheels off of it as lawn ornaments, and sent the rest to scrap.

Would you be willing to sell those wheels with tires?

I belive the model is an F70.

I have three like it...use one every summer. As a kid Dad had one on 15" rubber...mine are all high steel.

We cut motorcycle tires and wired them on for road travel.

I'm sorry they're beyond useable condition. Tires and wheels.

That model sounds right.

Don, I think I might pull it out of retirement next year and monkey around with it!
