 Topic: What's this hay rake worth?
Posted: 11 Apr 2012 at 6:42pm |
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.

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!!

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.
