York Rake Rescue....FINISHED!

[Rbertalotto]

Picked this up on Wednesday and finished it today, Friday...... I was surprised how easily it came apart. An impact wrench and some BP Blaster......Wire brushed and pressure washed....Painted and reassembled

That's a nice piece. Any idea who made it? I could really use one like that!

It was manufactured by "York Rake"....There was a label riveted to the frame. I removed it and trying to recondition it.

These small York Rakes are near impossible to find. I've been looking for months. Found this one on Facebook Marketplace and an hour away on Cape Cod for $150!

A while back I rented a larger York Rake but my tractor (lawn mower) couldn't pull it. I had to rent a Bobcat to pull it!
