| 78 has the bent rear axle like that. 77 is straight across on the back with the same length frame on both sides. |

| Paid more than I wanted to but the sale is only 10min. From my house. Doubtful I'll ever find one closer! Looking forward to hay season! |

| Plan is to add it to our collection but also make it work. We have about 20 acres of hay. Should work nice behind our wd45! |

| I always thought it would be fun to have a snap coupler version of that rake(though i bet the pull behind model does a better job) seen pictures in the "bible" but never one in the flesh |

dr p, those rakes are rare. Heard about one at an auction I didn't get to attend once. IH made a Fast-Hitch model, those are rare also. Buddy of mine has an IH one. I have a 78 but it's kind of rough. It's on my project list for after I retire!

We had a 78 rake like that when I was a kid. I raked a lot of hay with it. Very good rake! ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |
