Thanks all!!
Ripper works pretty good for getting the driveway loose, it's compacted shale from when I built the house so it packs in really tight. When I was using just the rake i would have to make about 50 passes up and down it before it was even loose. Now a few passes with this and it's ready to rake. My driveway is about 1500ft long so this is a huge time saver. Thanks again!

That thing is too cool and would be perfect for some work I'm going to be doing this fall!, I'm going to have to build one.
Quick question, how did you cut the holes for the for the shanks? Were they torch cut? Scott

Thanks guys!
Well, I got a quote from a guy who had a waterjet table to cut the holes, he told me about $100 bucks. So after some thinking I said well for a $100 bucks I'd rather do it myself and pocket the money. Long story short, I used a big drill bit (3/4") and then a 4.5" grinder (not much I can't do with a 4.5" grinder) and cut the slots. The problem was they were still to tight. In the end I ended up using a torch to stretch the slots just a little more. If i had used a larger drill bit it would have gone much smoother and faster.

Thanks all the compliments guys.
When I get the rake done I'll try and post up some pics of it as well. The tine replacement is going to take a while, they are no longer made, so having to use the A&I universal ones is going to take some time.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
