Built by the Invisible Farm Equipment Company of Timbuktu. Can't tell the model from here. Worth quite a bit if you can get your hands on it.

Never needs tires, grease or repair parts! Talk about no maintenance!

I deserved that one, must be the air in Hawaii. Now I cant resize the picture to fit. It is a pto rake, if you are standing in front of it there are 2 wheels to the left and that swivel and two at the back, on the left side that are stationary.

Sorry, the two wheels at the back are on the right if you are standing at the front looking back at the rake.

Don; It looks just like that one, except that it has dual wheels front and back.

The rake pictured is the latest stealth technology.
The rake described sounds like a #7

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

Also, the two wheels front and back are an option that allows the rake to cover rough fields better. We used some of them with the two wheels in MD on really rough ground
Good Luck!

As I was into making my second round, Murphy’s law intervened, something had gone wrong with my favorite AC hay-rake. It had either slipped a key, lost a dowel pin, broke a shaft, or worse. Now I’m desperately a need a shop manual, parts pictures and lists for what I think might be a Model #7 PTO driven Allis Chalmers hay-rake. Likely manufacture late forty’s into the mid fifty’s.

If it is like the one pictured, it would not be a #7. AC Pto Rake. #7 had both wheels behind the frame having an over the top frames leading to the 77/78 concept. Gear box did not have two speed and the PTO had to be changed from Rake input shaft to the tedding input shaft....Dale

Any guess as to this machine's model number still remains. It has a single input gear box run off tthe PTO. It has a two speed hay raking and one reverse teding speed with a neutral single shifter gear box.
An absolutely fantastic machine with its gentle nature is (was) is (has) such a gentle way of handling alfalfa.
A 4-bar Case, an 5-bar IH, and a NH inverter (2nd best) don't hold a candle to this mystery model hay rake.
It is the combined total of two simliar machines. An early model grown over and brought out of a windrow. The 2nd later model was passed on to me rather than junked by its formor owned with a broken gear box. This the later one that was in better condition. I added the second wheel to the right hand end from the earlier model. Set up with four wheels it has been very very good at avoiding bottoming out.

Do the number 7's create corner clumps like the ground drive side delivery rakes did?(Two big steel wheels in front/crazy wheels in back) Just curious?
Not that I would buy one as I am happy with my AC 77 rollabar style rake.

Your rake is described in Norm Swinford's book on Allis Farm Equipment. It is a side delivery rake produced from 1947 to the mid fifties. There doesn't appear to be a model number assigned to this rake. The #7 rake came out in 1957 and was an improved version of the earlier one.
