Bill: The 45 baler was really IH's first light weight pickup baler and needless to say they didn't get it right. The heavier 50T and 55T were fine balers. They went on after the 45 with a line up of very respectable balers.

In my area the 45 was such a disaster that it basically wiped them out of the hay equipment market. My cousin and her husband became established New Holland dealers in 1958. They had one of the largest IH 45 bone yards in Eastern Canada, mainly because IH was there first. They had 45 balers there 3-4 years old, some of them hadn't baled 10,000 bales of hay. They sold a few of them, but mostly parts. Eventually they cut them up for scrap. In the end he wouldn't even take a 45 on trade, they were worthless.
