I just got home from local auction. Not many people and few items. Picked up a IH McCormick 46 hay bailer for $10.00. Tires are good and still had air. Kinda rusty but flywheel and parts still moved.
I know very little about repairing bailers. Just downloaded tying mechanism manual and owners manual.
I was told it was used until a few years ago and would not tie knots on one side and would not cut the twine.
From the archives that I have read, it seems it could be anything from dull knives to timing. I have also read about poor performance from these bailers.
I look at it like it gives me something to "piddle" with and maybe getting it working again.
It's not too bad of shape, by my standards.
Should I invest the time and little money to see if I can get her going again?
It's dark now and I can't go down to get a pic of it. I'll post pics tomorrow.
Sorry, I meant to post this in the implement forum
Thanks
Greg

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
