Taking a 5 bar AC side del rake and making 4 bar

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Long story short-  I took out all 5 bars now I need help

I am confused as to what holes the bars should go in to make 4 bars.  I thought I had that figured out,  but I think I have atleast one bar in the holes for 5 bars.

How far apart should the bars be?   (Physically measure is what I am asking)

On the way home puling it behind my pickup, one of the bars was rusted on a bolt hole that goes into a rake tooth and it broke- so in order to have factory bars and no welds, I decided to make a 4 bar hay rake.  I tried to get another bar at the salvage yard with no luck.  So now I am making it into a 4 bar rake

Any help would be appreciated- And I don't have a book for it either

Thanks!

	Darwin, I am not in front of a rake, but this is how they go. The five bar and four bar will have a separate set of holes. It could be very well that one set of holes is used on the 4 and 5 bar rakes. It will only be one set though, that does this. It may be marked or have hole or two surrounding it. Also if you count the bar holes in the pattern of holes you should have an equal spacing for the four bars and five bars. The starter hole is where you have to get correct to begin with, then they will fall in place. HTH Tracy

	pick two sets of holes 180 degrees apart, then the other two should be easy to figure out
