What causes the driver hubs on the wheel of these belt driven rakes to break? I looked at a few different rakes and they have been broken on a lot of them...I recently bought my dad's old rake back and that one has one wheel broken also...the only thing I could think of is the drive clutch slamming into gear while at high speed...just wondering if it has happen to anybody here while they were using one of these rakes...looking to fix this one and I want to try to avoid it happening in the future if I can...thanks in advance ------------- Matt Folkers FOLKERS RESTORATION Restoring vintage things to last so the future can enjoy our past. |

My neighbor has one that must have started slipping out of gear. He put a hose clamp on it many Moons ago, to keep it in gear, and just derails the belt to transport it. I've tried to get him to let me fix it, but the last time I looked at it, there is nothing left of the shift mechanism. The cables and cranks for setting the height are also cobbed up.  ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
