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
