Yep - once he mentioned it I went back to the photos and noticed the arm location. On many of these old balers the stuffing forks can be messed up depending on the care. Looks like the OP found a gem.
Good find on the baler.
Getting harder to find old equipment. Many, many perfectly useable old implements went to the salvage yard when the price was up. I hated to see that.
Friend of mine runs a yard. Two years ago I bought a 12' tandem wheel disc that needed one bearing replaced for $120 from him. Got a 3x14 Massey plow for $50. Two prong big bale carrier for $25. 6' Ford 917 Flail Mower that needed two bearings for $100.
Makes me sick that our AG heritage has mostly been sold off to China and we buy it back in the form of a hammer.......
I also have an IH46. Bought it at an auction and have used it for the past three years. Usually it would miss tying a bale once every 100 bales or so, but last year went great and it didn't miss a single one. Did about 600 bales last year. It has been a great baler.
No wagon hitch and ramp, but she's a beaut!!!!!
