[AT] Question on a hay Rake

[Larry Goss]

I'm not an authority on that, Bill, but I recognize it from the 50's.  There are things about that rake that I have never fully understood.  It's designed for being towed by a tractor, so why does it have a driver's seat on it?  I remember seeing it advertised in Successful Farming.  It was red with yellow lettering painted on the steel, and it was a brand like Massey-Ferguson.  That's what I remember, but it could be all wrong.
