In that era, NH balers outsold everything else.
The 2 JD models you list were also good.
No other color of baler was at all popular, and don't have any kind of parts support.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
