which are connected to the transport frame at points fig1 13 and to the telescoping support braces at points fig1 4 and fig1 12 the braces rest at points fig1 17 and fig1 18 but are connected at points fig1 19 and fig1 20 actually comprise a complete hay rake system when mounted on a conventional trailer type frame as depicted in fig1 referring to fig3 as depicted in a disassembled view the wheel rakes fig3 6 are attached to the wheel rake arm fig3 7 can be raised or lowered with a unique actuating arm fig3 9 with a stopping pin fig3 8 that supports the wheel rake arm this actuating arm as depicted can raise or lower the wheel rakes by virtue of its own weight yet provides free upward movement of the wheel rake this feature is accomplished by actuating the arm forward or backward at point fig3 22 of the actuating arm either mechanically or hydraulically this feature is important and useful because it raises the wheel rakes into road or traveling position yet it has the ability to lower the wheel rake for raking purposes but will not force the wheel rake to be lowered too far allowing the wheel rake to possibly drag on the ground and become damaged furthermore the actuating arm fig3 9 makes tedding hay possible by raising the wheel rakes just high enough so that it can be allowed to pass over and remove the top half of the hay in the windrow thereby letting the sun dry the bottom half of the windrow this is a very desirable feature in slow drying weather furthermore this dual purpose of raking and tedding the hay eliminates the cost and maintenance of a second machine the above mentioned features as illustrated are.
