Abstract: A hay rake tooth assembly for use with a mounting clip on a hay rake wheel. The hay rake tooth assembly has a tine with a ball-shaped retaining member that is configured to permit a shaft of the tine to move along the length of the difference in diameter between the shaft and a tine opening of the mounting clip in which is the tine is assembled.

Abstract: A mounting clip includes an elongated channel having a first end, a central portion, and an elongated second section. Along the elongated section are at least two laterally widened sections that provide greater surface area for receiving an elastomeric block of a tooth. At least one of the ends of the channel extend beyond one of the laterally widened sections.

Abstract: A hay rake tooth assembly having a base plate. One or more tines that extend through and are captured by one or more holes in the base plate. A molding connected to the base plate and molded about the tine extends.

Abstract: A foldable hay rake has two rake arms comprised of first and second rake arm structures with rake wheels thereon pivotally secured to a base frame to pivot in a vertical plane. A center rake arm structure is pivotally associated with the base frame with a center rake arm frame located adjacent a rearward end of the base frame between the first and second rake arm structures. At least one of the hay rake wheels has a plurality of teeth extending therefrom with a tooth spacing between adjacent teeth of less than five inches and an outer diameter greater than 60 inches. A castor wheel is pivotally attached to the outer end of the main support frame, with an axle dampener operationally associated with the castor wheel to dampen wobbling of the castor wheel.

Abstract: A foldable hay rake has two rake arms comprised of two or more arm members with rake wheels thereon. The hay rake arms are pivotally secured together to a pivot assembly to pivot in a vertical plane. The pivot assembly is pivotally secured for pivoting in a horizontal plane to a vertical post having positioning wheels at a lower end. An upper end is pivotally secured to outer ends of wing arms comprised of parallelogram members which are pivotally secured to a central base frame, which has a power cylinder to pivot the wing arms in a horizontal plane.

Abstract: A device for raising or lowering the individual raking wheels on a foldable hay rake has a rake arm with a plurality of raking wheels, the device comprises a lift tube that is slidably mounted to the rake arm and is hingedly attached to the plurality of raking wheels. The device further comprises a hydraulic cylinder with a fixed end attached to the rake arm and an extendable cylinder rod attached to the forward end of the lift tube. As the cylinder rod operates, it pulls the lift tube from the forward end, thereby raising the raking wheels.

Abstract: A "V" type pull rake includes a rigid primary frame to which rake arms are pivoted for movement about vertical and horizontal axes. The rake arms include at their outer ends upstanding posts to which control assemblies are connected and extend over the rake wheels and raked material to the primary frame. The control assembly includes a pair of pivotally interconnected members with the control assembly of each rake arm including two pivotal connections allowing pivotal movement about vertical and horizontal axes. Rake arms extensions are pivotally connected to the outer ends of the rake arms and actuating rods for raising and lowering the rake wheels extend along the rake arms over the pivotal connection to the rake arm extension and include a pivot rod for allowing the actuating rod to function when the rake arm extension is pivoted relative to the rake arm.
