[QUOTE="Chuck, post: 92397, member: 579"] Didn't think of this in my previous post, but the slamming problem Bez mentioned when you open or close the rake while moving can be cured by putting a restrictor in the port on the cylinder where one of the hoses screws in. Cost is a couple of dollars. I have done the same thing on the cylinder that raises and lowers the cutter bar on some disc mowers. Not safe to be anywhere around some of them when you pull the hyd. lever, even at an idle. The restrictor slows it down to a nice speed. If it is too slow you can take it out of the cylinder and drill it out 1 size at a time until you are happy. Not to insult anybody, but make sure you TAKE IT OUT OF THE CYLINDER to drill it out. Then make sure its clean and free of metal shavings before you put it back. Yes,I have seen this happen. More than once. [/QUOTE]
