Finally found an EZ-Rake model 100

After looking for a long time I found an EZ Rake in southern Illinois. It was posted in the classified ads in Lawn and Garden Collector magazine. I purchased it from a very nice gentleman who told me that he purchased it 40+ years ago and never used it. He believed it was never used. After receiving it, I believe he is correct. It does have surface rust but that’s fine as I am going to restore this unit. I had it shipped through Fastenal from there to eastern Long Island for $165.00 which I thought was very fair. However the mount on it is not for a Wheel Horse. So my question is, has any mounted one of these to a C-series tractor that I view? I have some ideas to mount it to the front mount Tach-a-Matic and lift it similar to a snowblower. In this picture I have just propt it up to get some ideas.

Can we see pics of the underside?       I don't know if it would work for the rake, but I have mounted a tiller on the front of a dozer frame that operates  well and is very stable.

IMHO, I believe you are on the right track with the snowthrower style mount and lift, great find and good luck.

Thanks guys, I have searched for the factory mount stuff to no avail. I realize that this unit is probably from the late 60s early 70s. I could mount it on my commando 8 but prefer a C series of which I have several. I’d love to have this done for the big show but as we know this thing called work and life get in the way!
