Abstract
A power rake comprises spaced apart front and rear axles and ground engaging wheels mounted on the axles. A housing is supported on the axles for wheeled movement over the ground as well as for generally vertical adjustment relative to the ground. A reel member is carried by the housing parallel to and between the axles for rotation about an axis fixed relative to the housing. A side plate or foot guard is supported on the axles independently of the housing. The foot guard includes a lower edge which is maintained in a closely spaced relationship from the ground regardless of the vertical adjustment of the housing relative to the ground.
