When I was about 9 or 10, my dad had a Regular that he bought a hay stacker for. It had a "rake" assembly that looked like a sweep rake. Wooden teeth probably 6 or 7 feet long; about 7 or 8 feet wide. It had vertical rails that the rake assembly ran up and down on. The rails were probably 15 or so feet tall. It mounted at the front on the tractor cultivator mounts and had braces from near the top of the rails that went to the bolts in the top of the rear axle housings where cultivator lever assemblies would mount. It was powered by the belt pulley. A short belt went from the tractor pulley to the pulley on the stacker. It was operated by a rope that connected to a lever on the stacker. If I remember correctly, pulling back hard on the rope made it go up and releasing slightly put a brake on. Letting the rope go let the rake go to the ground. Hay was gathered and pushed up to the hay stack with the load on the ground, then lifted and set up on the stack. The dimensions are approximate, remember, I was only about 10 years old.
I was wondering if anyone knew what company made the stacker and maybe remember the model number, and if anyone might have a picture of one.
