The part with the tines, or teeth, rotate clockwise, looking at it from the end view, inside the outside wire loops. It's driven off the right front wheel, which appears to have had a rubber tire on it, from the looks of the rim. Power on these rakes to the "basket" was usually transferred by a sprocket on the axle shaft to another sprocket attached to the center shaft of the part with the teeth, by means of a detachable link chain.
Couldn't see up close real well, but this one appears to only rake. I have one that is my back-up rake, in case my 3pt. rake goes down on haymaking day, and it will also ted, or fluff the hay.

Four bar tow type side delivery hay rake. The actual bars that held the rake tines have been removed, probably to be used as repair parts on another rake many years ago. Google "side delivery hay rake" There will probably be a
complete one shown.

Thanks for all the help ID'ing this thing. I learned a lot.
Interesting, I have been hauling scrap out of here for over two years. I came across the castor wheel for this, when we moved in on another part of the farm. I almost hauled it off to the dump a day before I got the hay rake out of the ground. The other castor wheel was buried, so I never made the connection.
Now they are reunited, first time probably since what 1920-1930?
Now I don't know if they are getting cut up and going to the scrap dealer together or not.

- Getting old. Sold the ranch. Sold the tractors. Moved back to the city.
I don't think that is a dump rake.
This is a dump rake, I believe.

Mr Flusher, your's is a picture of a green and yellow side delivery rake, It could be a John Deere. I have seen Ford 8Ns that were painted green and yellow, that does not make them JDs
Duffster is correct about the dump rake picture.
The OP's rake is well beyond any use other than scrap.

What?
I can display it out in the yard and bang up against it for at least 20 more years.
Exactly....my wife loves that kind of "yard art" --center piece of a flower garden.

It is incomplete. People driving by will think the owner does not know what it is.
Would you put a semi-dismantled Pontiac GTO on display? I don't think it would have the same curb appeal as a complete one.

Most people around here don't know what a farm is let alone was.
I myself am still trying to get it together, and by the looks of it, a lot of other people did not have the complete picture either.
Too bad for us all. A small piece of history is gone.
I do have some more parts I got out of the ground. Watch this thread for details. I am not sure if they belong to the hay equipment or what. Did these things have weights on them?
The weights look like cones....

I have the same hay rake. The name plate on mine says "NI". I belive that stands for, New Idea, they made a lot of implements for a long time.

Have seen a hayrake similar to this when I was a young feller but it had a seat on it,probably had 2 leather straps for steering it
