Went hunting today and on the backside of an abandoned farm where I hunt is this rake. Took some pictures of it with my camera phone. I think it is a 77G. Are these more rare then other rakes? It has been sitting outside for quite some time. I don't know who owns the farm so I am gonna have to do some investigating but I see they are doing some clean up around the old barn so I want to make sure I get ahold of someone before it makes a slow trip to China. What is it worth in this condition? Here are some pics.   ------------- 1955 WD45 diesel 203322 was my dad's tractor, 1966 D15 23530, 1961 HD3 Crawler 1918, 1966 D17 IV 83495, 1937 WC 41255, 1962 D19 6221 |

| If you are saving it from a farmstead cleanup and when I take its condition into account, I say $150. I bought an older NH rake, excellent working condition, from a good home for $500. |

Not a one, but our season goes through Sunday. I left early from work and went out to one of the "honeyholes" I thought I had, only to find two other blinds setup on either side of where I normally hunted. So I went somewhere else for the rest of the night but didn't see anything. I have a few more spots I will go to, the wife is going out to one of them tomorrow morning. I will hunt on another in the afternoon. A bad day hunting in the woods is still better then a good day at work!! ------------- 1955 WD45 diesel 203322 was my dad's tractor, 1966 D15 23530, 1961 HD3 Crawler 1918, 1966 D17 IV 83495, 1937 WC 41255, 1962 D19 6221 |

| Well, I don't know if I'd go too high for it. Appears to need a bit of work to get operating. I picked up a nice 77G for $500 six months or so ago, so I agree that is probably the going price for an operating one. Then found a 77M a few months ago represented as "field ready" for $450. So far, for new tires, 50 teeth, 11 clips, and still working on the field ready 77M I've got another $200 invested. So, if you have to buy parts, it does add up pretty fast. So, I probably wouldn't go any more than $50 - $100 for it. |

The drive belt will set you back over $100 if you get it from AGCO. These are the specs on the belt as I remember them "109" long, H/C cross section". That is from memory, and probably 75% reliable. I got mine from Motion Industries by giving them the specs.
541718 is the part number for that belt. ------------- Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives. |

| Looks like the one we had as a kid so can not think that it is a '''rare''' one. |

My neighbor has a real nice one of those in the shed. The only problem, he thinks it's fine with the muffler clamp keeping it in gear. I guess they derail the belt if they take it down the road any ways. ------------- 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 |
