this is no lie!! an old farmer i used to help when i was 12 to 19 years old had on of those old monster new holland balers with the dinosaur teeth that used to move up and down and shove the hay into the chamber. well it had a hand crank only,4 cylinder wisconsin engine on it. hot or cold,,sunshine or rain, wind or still,tuned-up or a year of running; this motor would not start, no matter how many times you cranked it, would not start until 3 magic words were said. the first time i used this baler i cranked it over at least 35 times while he sat there with a grin on his face, and then he told me the secret code; well i called it an S.O.B. and on the third crank it fired and no lie, with witnesses to be had many a time people of the local area came to see this baler do its thing and it never failed.i`ll never forget it caused i brung it to our farm to bale hay; our baler was down,, and when i got off the "M" that pulled it, my dad was there and as soon as i faced the motor and open the fuel valve on it i said "OK you S.O.B. lets go",,i felt pops hand smack me across the back of the head! i explained it to him , he believed none of it so i asked him to please start it and after 23 crank-overs he "talked" to it and on number 26 it started. he told me to go bale the field and take it back when done ,cause he was gonna repair our baler before we cut any more hay,,he didn`t want it back on the farm !
