Hay Stacker Question

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.
Thanks, Roland
 
Thanks for the reply. I found a picture of the booster buck online. That's not it. The rails on the stacker my dad owned are vertical and do not move. The rake assembly runs up and down the rails on wheels.
Thanks again, Roland

Another maker of those machines was "JayHawk". Possibly built in Kansas?
 
I bought a Jayhawk mounted stacker and it went on my WD allis Chalmers tractor. A heavy Hydrolic cylinder was mounted to underside of tractor between front and back wheels to raise it and another cylinder pushed the hay off on the stack. Worked fine and was made strong. Also had a manure scoop that went with it and was good sized to move dirt ect. Can't remember where it was made. That was back in the 60s. Elva Would like a reply. I live in Iowa
