JD hay rake #594

[mp7959]

Does anybody have the parts manual for this vintage of hay rakes?

Get yourself a Shoup catalog and order parts from it by model number.

Are you positive this is the correct model number?

Here is jdparts for the model 594

Welcome to TBN
beenthere is correct JD didn't manufacture a rake with model # 549 but did manufacture a rake with model 594. JD parts catalog # for a model 594 rake is PC238.

Now Easy on the older than dirt as that rake could only be 10 yrs older than ME:dance1:

Hi
Thanks for the response's, yes it probably is the #594 model (I must have wrote 549 after one too many trips to the shed where the Fireball storage locker is located). Yes it is part #11 in the JDparts manual link that 'beenthere' shows, however it does not give the actual part # that I would need to order another one. I've contacted several bearing supply companies on-line and they do not have a match for the dimensions of this cylindrical roller bearing without a inner or outer race unlike most shaft bearings .
See attached pic (width/ 'C' = 2-3/4", I.D/ 'A' = 1-5/8", O.D/ 'B' = 2-1/2")

I replied to a similar post on another discussion forum & stated the brg part # AL66E is available from ""Parts Dept"" but to get parts from them one must utilize a participating equipment dealer. IIRC Parts Dept had 4 AL66E brgs.

Try to edit the subject line of your thread to reflect the correct model number.. think you can within a certain time limit. Will help the TBN archives for future members.
Also, inspect the parts that go through the bearing and that contain the bearing to see if a machinist could bore and machine those parts to fit one or two new bearings.
If in question, post pics of the two parts involved.

There are several threads on TBN pertaining to the model 594. Might be interesting to you to read through them.
