IH side delivery rake, model 5 or 15? (needing a part)

[Grover-MN]

I have an IH side delivery rake that needs a part for the tine bar drive end. I have to find a "retired" rake to scavenge, no dealers even know what the model is. I think I have a 5 or a 15, IH 10", 4-bar, side delivery rake...on rubber tires, 2-15" on the front and 2 wheelbarrow size trailers. The rake is all rusted and there is no plate I can find giving the model number. Most of the parts have a number stamped on them, including the one I need, so if I can advertise the right model number, maybe someone out there has what I need in their boneyard. I can"t seem to find any info about the model on the net or calling dealers/salvage yards. I saw a picture yesterday on the internet of an IH rake that was labeled a Model 5 L-W? that was real close to what I have. Any help appreciated.

Grover;
I dont believe you have a #15. A #15 is a roll bar rake with 5 bars, a long frame with a tongue jack and 2 15" wheels in line in back. With a solid drive axel. A #35 has the shorter frame like a NH #56.
If you might be interested? I have a #15, rusty but it worked the last time I used it. I have retired from farming 4 years ago. And I still have most of my equipment. It is located 32 mile East of lafayette IN.

Sounds like the #5 I used to own. Saw a manual at the flea market at Mid Iowa on Friday. Didn't buy it.

Sounds like the one I have and still use (raked today with it). Pretty sure it is a #5. Long tougue, 15" wheels on front, and (if memory serves) 4.00-9 split rims on rear. Dad always called them 'crazy wheels' as they swiveled. Neighbor bought this rake new along with a #45 baler. Baler is long since gone (good riddance), but rake lives on. Good luck with your part seach.
