I just bought a IH Model 46 baler that had been sitting in a field for years. I had a "devil" of a time getting it home due to its size, flat tires, etc.

When I finally got it home, sure enough, the serial number is 666 A.

Do any of you have an idea about when it was made?

Mark and Russ I have an IH 46 as well. I have most trouble with the twine knives. It is tricky getting them adjusted just right if not the knotter cloggs and you miss bales. I had a knife that was notched and worn so I replaced with new from dealer(they are generic for several diferent models) what a night mare so I went back to the old and now have found a great set of replacements for reserve. Only use hemp twine and bale with the correct rpms for the flywheel 65-70. I bale with an 8N ford in 2nd gear with no problems. Let me know how you do. Manuals can be had from your dealer a must. Good luck Dan

Greetings, contact me off line at my email. I don't know the answer about the year but I recently bought this exact model baler, and will be using it this summer. Mine is working and I will have to do some minor fine tuning and I thought we could share some discoveries. I already know that I should find some new knives and have my existing ones sharpened. I have a baler manual witch came with it. The previous owner must have gotton it here at YT. One quick thing, the pick up teeth must be straight or the slip clutch will not let them spin. I had to take a pair of vice grips and bend them until the pick up would turn using a crow bar. Then greased everything well and started the tractor. Boy does that tractor know somethings is back there. I am trying to figure a way to put a cover over the u joints in the pto drive system. This looks like a good (bad) way to get someone hurt.

Good luck.

Mark

Some years back an older gentleman stepped over a pto shaft on a baler with no cover. It pulled his pants off along with his scrotum. Hope not to offend, but people, just because these things are old doesn't mean they won't hurt you. Safety is a KEY issue even more so with older equip. Try rain guttering, but it has to be able to slide.
