I remember my dad always ran winter snow tires on our rake. They did not skid on the ground like the summer tires did. Made for a more positive drive of the teeth wheel or whatever you call it.
Thanks for the tips on parts difference, especially the teeth. Seems like common sense, but now I understand some of the issues I had with second and third cutting.
Great repair video, good to watch folk that keep the older machines in good order 👍
Thank you- it took more work than I expected lol
Yes when you were showing the issue with the teeth, that was my idea also to cut off the extra to fit the holder.
Me too 😉
Good video, when yr doing u-joints, take grease nipple out, put a good gob of grease in caps so niddles don't fall out when putting new u-joint in place, the access grease will push out grease fitting hole
Nice repair video on 256 rake should be like a brand new one those rakes do a good job raking in my mind with the kind of ground we got.
Thanks! They do a good job, and are pretty affordable too.
Nice fix cutting the teeth loop shorter. When I do u joints I put a little electrical tape around the other side of the cross to hold them caps on while I’m putting the first part back together. Normally I’m beating and Banging and drop a cap off and lose the needles. Lol. Have a good week buddy
I'll have to remember that trick with the tape! One time, I lost one needle bearing on my baler PTO shaft, and had to go buy the whole u joint just for one tiny piece lol
A cpl of decent older rakes. Looks like you got this my friend. Take care
Nice job on the ol' 256 rake. Stay safe.
Thank you! It was more work than I thought it would be lol
Awesome video, lot of good information
Thank you- I tried to make it informative 🙂
Very informative channel. Nice video, I enjoyed watching 😊 ❤️ 👍
Thank you. I need to replace a drive shaft and teeth on my 260 rake. This was helpful.
Trying to remember. That pin that had to be removed to disconnect the driveshaft, that's the one that's removed for road transport?
it was very helpful
A lot of those rakes came with the rubber mounted teeth. We used to tare them up all the time. Changed to old school spring mounts, they hold up better on ground drive rakes!! BTW, I hate the axle driveline on the 56 and newer rakes!! The old 55 rake had a straight axle driveline, no U joints to bust up👍
Our 216 V rake has all rubber mounted teeth, they are heavier and hold up well!! But it's hydralic drive too..
We've always put good M&S car tires on the little rakes, just gotta fill the tires👍😎
Shoupe has good inexpensive rake teeth....
Cutting the end off the loop is what I would have done too!!
That 1/4" difference between teeth probably isn't an issue, look at the difference between a new one you put in vs the old one next to it...
We've actually cut new teeth off because an inch longer is too much
This is the first rake I have owned with rubber teeth. People say they are better, but I am not paying almost $10 each for them lol These driveshaft assemblies are strange. The other rake in the background of this video is a 256 and has a different style driveshaft on it. Who knows why?? 😂
@@dehavenfamilyfarm ya, we went from rubber to spring tines on the little rakes because we beat the teeth up so bad.. spring teeth have held up better.
On the hydralic drive, I think the heavy rubber are better though..
Great video!
Thanks! I tried to make it helpful for others.
Great video, thanks much
Good work. Those tires should cut down on ground slippage. We had a 256 around for a long time. Ours had the rubber mounted teeth. Did you consider changing over to those? I forget if they are more or less expensive but they are easier to put on, just a bolt. I assume you checked, but the components in the overriding clutches behind the wheels (dogs, springs, pins) can wear out too. I replaced the drive shaft once, I think I took the gearbox apart and removed the top yoke. Been too long ago for me to remember if that was a PITA.
The rubber teeth were almost 3x as expensive as the spring teeth. I just could not see spending that much money lol I like your new profile pic 🙂
I bet you those ag tires are cheaper than regular rake tires. Nice looking rakes. Did you get a double rake hitch? Do the bars have 2 or 3 holes in them. I run 3 teeth through the middle and 2 teeth on the ends of my IH rake.
Thanks! I was unable to find a double hitch for them that wasn't a lot of $$. This rake just has the 2 holes- I think it would definitely be better with 3. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Nice, I just bought an old IH35 and was wondering if I need that small long shaft that runs from the left side tire to the right and was wondering what do they call that shaft, it looks like it does nothing for it..
Zip 5mm off the eye of the new finger with a angle grinder, may fit in old clips then ?
Love your video! I'm working on a NH55. Where did you order your new parts at (drive shaft,spacers etc)?
I'd have cut the hook too. Will the bar accept rubber mounted teeth too or is that a different style altogether
It would take the rubber teeth, but they cost three times as much lol
Be just like brand new
Pretty close to new without the price tag of a new one lol
How do I know when to replace my teeth? I'm looking to get into hay next year.
What happen to your case 5220 maximum
I sold that years ago. It was a good tractor, but didn't have power shift- which is extremely helpful on our hills around here. Thanks for watching.
