When you’re raking hay and notice bare spots or uneven windrows on the left side of your swath, it’s usually time to replace that worn or broken left-hand rake tooth. This .262 wire black spring tooth fits Farmhand (Morrill) Model F-76 Rakes, Darf (ID4803R), and New Idea (400341) equipment, getting your rake back to gathering every stem cleanly and efficiently.
What You’re Getting

- Left-hand specific design that mirrors the working angle for proper hay flow
- Black finish that resists corrosion and maintains flexibility through temperature changes
- Direct replacement that mounts using your existing tooth holders and hardware
Built for Real Farm Work
This tooth works on several popular rake brands including Farmhand’s reliable F-76 series, Darf models, and New Idea equipment. These rakes handle everything from first-cutting alfalfa to heavy grass hay, and this replacement tooth is built to match that demanding duty cycle whether you’re working smooth fields or dealing with rocks and uneven ground.
Made to Last
The .262 spring steel wire provides the right balance of strength and flexibility for hay raking conditions. Rake teeth take a real beating during hay season – they’re constantly flexing, hitting the ground, striking obstacles, and working through all kinds of crop conditions from bone-dry to slightly damp. This AgSmart tooth uses quality spring steel wire that maintains its flexibility and strength even after thousands of acres of raking.
Installation Notes
Simply remove the worn tooth from your rake’s tooth holder and slide in the new one using the original mounting hardware. Pro tip: Replace rake teeth before hay season starts to avoid breakdowns during critical harvesting windows. Consider replacing teeth in sets to maintain consistent rake performance across the entire width. Keep spare teeth on hand during hay season for quick field repairs when you hit unexpected obstacles or experience normal wear and tear.
