Identify hay rake IH

[koshari]

hi all,

we have an international hay rake iam trying to identify that looks like a bit of a hybrid model looking at the common models (14, 15, 16, 35 etc..._).

absolutely no markings i can find other than a part number on the cast ratcheting hub which draws a blank search.

unlike other rakes ours has the wheel drive sprocket mounted inboard of the Axel journal, it also has ratcheting hubs on both wheels,
height adjustment in via a single crank linked to the 2 outboard levers.

any ideas??

chain drive,

height adjustment,

hub,

ratcheting hub markings,

I reckon it’s an Australian special, just for this market.

not unlike my A414 in the background.

yeah they actually work pretty well, and i think your correct about being exclusively Au model, everything else is subtley different.

You can just make out A 21 but it it is in fact an A21-3.

It’s described in the following document ….

Still going strong, 50 odd years old.

few pages from the manual,

looks like it had an option for hydraulic lift which is pretty cool.
