The square baler guru was here two days ago. He's 80 now. Every year I worry about somehing happening and him being gone. I don't have enough trouble with it to remember how to make it hum, but I need to have it hum through about 4000 bales a year. It's been years since I did anything but twine for it, so he just looked it over for me and told me what he thought was in need. I can do it, I just don't have the depth of knowledge. When that man is gone there will not be anyone in the county that can work on one competently. Literally.
One of my nephew's friends is working for the BTO where they live and doing very well. They have put him in charge of the farm at age 20.

The days of "he's good wih his hands and can fix anything" aren't as revered as they used to be.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
