124s are all twine, 126 is the wire version.
I have been down this road with several of these. Very good balers once some minor repairs are done.
If it has been sitting, the tightness is probably the shims which hold the plunger down to its rollers. They rust and swell making it tight.
Expect all the ball bearings to go out in the first year or two, be pleasantly surprised if some don't. All are available cheaply aftermarket if you look around and cross some numbers.
New chains are cheap insurance.
Make sure the plunger stop works.
Sharpen the twine knives razor sharp.
Sharpen the plunger knife set and it will run more smoothly and take much less power.
I use poly 7200 or 9600 of 170# knot strength, least troubles.
The needles are easy to weld if you break one as they are fabricated steel.
