John Deere did make 2 models of the sidewinder wire baler in late 40's, think 46 to 56. The bigger and most popular was the 116W that was the larger and they made a early and a late version. The smaller was the 114W that was not made for as many years as the 116W. John Deere was a Jonny come lately with the wagon loading shute after they saw a shute made in a blacksmith shop in West Liberty, Ohio and the small company that made them never pattened them so Deere could copy it and sell it as the baler was just designed to drop bales on the ground. They drew the wire from both top and mottom rolls, 4 total in use at a time and had a knot at both ends of the bale and they did leave a short piece of wire at both ends of the bale. That is what killed John Deeres sale of balers her in Ohio. And they did not have a backup for any of the wire rolls when you ran out of wire so you did not know untill you saw open bales on the ground. The 14T came out one year before the end of the 116W production. The one good thing for the 116W baler was that it could be narrowed to 8' for storage but in workinh position it too 16' wide to get threw a gate. Before I left the farm I had both an early and late version of the 116W balers with the West Liberty wagon hitch and male chute. Both I think went for scrap. I did know the owner and shop forman that designed the bale loading chute. Both gone now as well as the second of the owners. When I took the baler thru the parade in town it made the owner and shop forman's day. John Deere Did make a baler before the ii6W but if I remember correctly it was a hand tie. I do have the owners manuals for them yet. The early Deere balers were a pickup pressith a platform added. Dad met Mom when he worked for Mom's Dad (my grandpa) punching wires on that first model pickup baler in 1940.
