Hi JJL, we had an IH 46 Baler and #10 thrower for many years. The thrower has a locking pin on top to hold it straight for transport position.
When in use there is a mechanism that connects to the wagon pole and steers the thrower.
Later we welded a bracket to the baler and thrower and installed a hydraulic cylinder to steer the thrower with. This allowed controlling the placing of the bales on the load. The other problem we had was the spring in the small adjustable pulley on the drive shaft, spring becomes weak and belt will slip or go all the way down to the center. Simple solution was to drill 3 holes in the pulley, add the appropriate number of spacers and put 3 bolts through the holes to make it a fixed pulley. Now just control the throw of the bale by the speed of the PTO.
Re 46 baler, good baler, must keep twine knives sharp and knotters clean. Never had a problem with axle. Likes consistent good quality twine. Does not like thick and thing twine.

Hope this helps
JB2
