Okay, so, talked to the guy on the phone. REALLY nice guy, said that he has owned it 3 years, and it had been stored in a barn for 8 years before that. The story is, when he got it, it would break a shear pin EVERY bale, he said that some old guy told him DO NOT mess with it, just keep putting pins in it until every thing gets the rusty worn off, and lubricated again, he said it then started working really well again, and he ran quite a few bales through it that year.
Next year, breaks shear pins every 10-20 bales, and he said that the hay was all on one side of the bale, and you couldn't even pick them up off the ground without them falling apart? He said he then tried to mess with the feeder forks, and broke one of them with the plunger, and that was the end of the story. Said he was in a pinch, and just bought a round baler to finish the season. It sat there the rest of last year, and so far this winter. He said he doesn't have the time or knowledge to mess with it.
What do you guys think? I am going to go look at it tomorrow morning. He said he would have it dug out of the snow, and I am taking cash, he said it will pull right down the road no problem.
