I can still remember bouncing down the windrow at 3 in the morning trying to get the alfalfa baled up before the dew was to heave but had enough to keep the leaves on. We had a Case NCM. Sis on one side, me on the other, Dad on the old H and if I n4ever see another blocking frame or Wire frame again I will die happy. Because when we got through baling then wed go to breakfast, feed and milk, turn out what we needed to, make sure the water troughs were full, unhook the baler and go buck the hay we had just finished baling. By nine it was usually pushing 85 or 90. hooked up the rake and went and wind rowed the next field or two or cut the next that needed it and then hooked back up tot the baler went in did chores, milking etc took a bath and ate dinner. went to bed and dad woke us up at 2 am or so to do it all again. And yes, if I close my eyes I can still remember the sound of both the H popping along and that Damn Wisconsin 4 cylinder screaming in my ear as sis and I would holler at each other as we hand tied each and every bale. I always road the left so the exhaust was on my side. That little round piece of tin that looked like a messed up trumpet bell. Well you guys who were around them know what I am talking about. Happy New Year. LarryT

Terminal ends have corroded, rusted or just plain evaporated away. Aged wires not only keep an engin
