 |  14:29 02/21/17 A/C Roto-BalerIn my travels I acquired not one, but two A/C Roto Balers. One is going to be a parts machine. The other appears to be usable. I lashed up some belts from both machines and got it running. I took it over to the neighbors and we made three barley straw bales. (IMHO, if you can bale barley straw, you can bale anything!!) Apparently the trip and all for the wrap mechanism is all corroded and such. It would stop the feeder, but not activate the twine arm. Also, I had to manually trip the "eject" cycle. But that was OK!! I didn't even put any twine in the thing. I figured one catastrophe at a time!!! But it made bales!!! So one of these days, I'll drag it up to the shop and go through the clutch/wrap mechanism. One of the neighbor kids is in FFA and drools over that machine when ever he comes over. Guess I'll give him a call when I start working on it. Any one out there familiar with these machines? Any tricks I should know? It's one of the early versions, not a white top. Thanks for listening!! Jon K
BTW, this is also posted under the A/C tractor forum. | | | Comments | Carl R.

What are Project Journals?
Project Journals are a place where YT Community members can document their tractor and farm projects. Each journal created, can have many photos and accompanying text entries. You can also enable comments to allow other members of the YT Community to comment on your journal. If you do enable comments, it is up to you to moderate what people enter in your journal according to the site policy of Yesterdays Tractors. Journals may also be used as photo posting area, to post your photos of your farm, tractors and related photo topics. If you would like to create a journal, just be sure you are logged in to the Classic View of the forums, and a link will appear to do so when you next come to this page.

Today's Featured Article -
Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
