I bought a 10' piece of 2x2x3/16 angle. I cut it in half for the front and rear of the frame.

It weighs about 70lbs. I still need to get some lift arm pins, I borrowed these off of the pond scoop. The lift arm pins are on it loose in the pictures. I am going to probably use this style of lift arm pin. I may add a slight bend to the tines like most dethatchers have, I think it will work better. I tried it out a little today. My yard does not have a lot of thatch on it. It does pretty good. I also raked up some sticks and leaves with it. It will also level small piles of dirt or rocks. I had to buy the teeth, 10' of angle, and the hardware. I still need lift arm pins and bushings for it. I will have around $80-90 in it plus paint when it is completed.
