Bryce - a couple of things you may or may not know - just picking up on things you typed here.
All you need is an overrun clutch and a pto shaft and you can run your baler by pto (probably want to pull the belts off, but may not HAVE to). The clutch just screws right to the flywheel.
The pto shaft has a bracket that mounts to the tongue of the baler... if you look at a picture of one, it'll be obvious.
I've got the whole clutch/shaft assembly, but unfortunately just promised it to somebody a few weeks ago. Otherwise I'd send it to you to play with.
Another thing - you'll rock less using the wisconsin engine. When you're running it with PTO, that'll put a sort of repetitive load on the tractor, adding to the sea-sick feel. I'm sure on a C you'd feel it pretty good.
And last - you said you were in 1st gear at idle... makes me think you weren't running the wisconsin engine at top speed like you should be.
Maybe somebody else can chime in here because I can't remember the number - but they always rated those old balers in strokes per minute. I can almost guarantee you won't naturally open up an engine that fast and hard on your own to get the baler up to the right speed.
But if you count the plunger strokes, you'll find you've really got to crank that little engine for all it's worth.
Running at the right speed, you'll be able to move around better, probably in 2nd gear with no trouble. Depends on the hay and windrow size of course, but the baler speed really makes a BIG difference in performance. You might even see the bales come out a little more consistent, but I'm not sure about that.
