    I finally bought myself a vintage hay rake to go in my landscape. I can't wait to get it painted and plant flowers and vines all around it.

    That will be an eye catcher. Great find, there can't be too many left.

    There are plenty in Amish country. But getting them to sell is the problem!

    This is a great addition GDC. Those old seats were perfectly molded to the rear :D

    That's way cool, congrats.

    I have two of the teeth/tines. I picked them up at the junque yard we visited last week, there are hundreds just laying around.

    I could see a bunch of those being used as a border around a flower bed.
