Going Over The Baler

all right well I figured today he's a good a day as any to get the baler ready to go really don't have anything to do to it for the most part other than clean it up and grease it and put twine in it and run it and make sure there's no funny sounds cuz I pretty much just used it and put it away last time I did have some issues with it but I think it was don't think it was issues with the baler I'm pretty sure there's issues with junk ass twine but I'll explain that later in the video I really need haul some fuel over this thing because I don't know how accurate that new sending unit is I put in it but it's pretty low this thing needs a bath too I've been worried about it too much that's I don't know what's going to happen with the wheat ground if I was going to run the finisher over it or not so I figure get wheat cutting in this thing will be on the list to get washed only I let it run in charge of battery but with the fuel being that low I'm not gonna do that hopefully I get hooked on this thing without having to move the car mine I didn't realize it was that close oh I think we're gonna be just fine is that my head too high [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] when this jack [Applause] it's gonna be kind of fun getting that back in there I'm gonna hit that hole that's right anyway I'm gonna shut the barn back up and I'm gonna catch you at the house well first order actually the first order of business was to clean the toolbox out because of their mouths decided that that was a good spot to make a nest so all the mouths piss rusted the wrenches I had in there and they tore some holes and some bags and I had one bag there was one old cloth bag of parts in there they ate the whole bag all I found was the part so anyway the next order of business is to blow this thing off and get it not covered in crap and get rid of this mouse nest because you know that doesn't need to be in there there's nothing smells worse than Mouse piss like I'll take I'll take common or hog manure I'll even take chicken manure Mouse piss now they're just nick just nasty [Music] [Music] I'm thinking I got you out in time to just see another Oliver drive right press that intersection we'll see how good I am yep it's a guy down the road here they used to do a lot of drag racing and their family always firm with Oliver's well apparently they decided that drag racing wasn't fun anymore and a couple years ago they sold out of the drag car to started buying tractors so that was their 1855 they got a they got a whole bunch of them now I think in the last two three years however long it's been they went from having nothing to probably 15 or 20 of them but anyway got all this blown off got it all greased checked the oil in the gearbox yeah it was like a half a quart low so I dumped some 8090 in it um side the first time I used this thing years ago when I got it I actually changed the oil in that gearbox so and the way you do that on these is there's your fill plug with a breather and then you pull can't really that make that that bolt right there is a through bolt you pull that bolt and that's your that's your level plug it's supposed to be a 3 quart reservoir and then also on these Baylor's they got three zerks that are if you don't think about them being there they're missing they didn't miss them they got one for your quill support bearing on your main input shaft they got one great feel for your cross shaft which drives your pickup and all your accessory over there and then there's a second one for that shaft right there which also it's all covered in grease so you can't tell but it's also got a little mini chain coupler right there and then that bevel Garrett that bevel gear drives a shaft that goes out the front that drives your stuffer arm so you got those three jerks to be aware of when you're greasing that's because if you don't know they're there you don't even think about them and while I was greasing this thing well actually while pulling the pulling the stuff out of the toolbox I remembered that there's this Idol there was this idler arm in here and this spring that I assumed always went with it but I never really thought about I figured it was just to spare or something max had around and while I was greasing it I noticed that conspicuous looking bushing right there with nothing in it so you know I got curious and I came and pulled the old shop manual out that's where that arm supposed to be if you can right there and then there's a hook there's a hook down below for the spring and there's the spring and there's the arm why it's off I don't know I bet that I don't know I've never had an issue I've bailed a lot of bails with that baler and I've never had any issues because that's the pickup drive and I've never had any issues with it so I don't know but I'm gonna put that back on and this was this whole manual here this is this is worth talking about on its own I've still got the envelope max kept it in Max's baler book and you could tell a baler is just one of those pieces of equipment that the manual just tends to be out a lot I wish I knew I wish I knew 1963 is the first date there 6:23 60 something I wish I could read some of that stuff because I want to know what he was writing down but 1963 is definitely the first date there and it seems like it's wrote down in here somewhere when he bought the baler maybe it's not in here I'm pretty sure if I remember the story right he bought that baler in 61 and they sold the cows and quit making hay in 64 and he just kept the baler because everyone's smiley bale straw or do some custom work with it but for all intents and purposes that Baylor's only got four full seasons on it of actual production hay making but yeah I just I really should get a different manual for it so that I don't have to use this one and make it any worse but it's just something to think about when you got a manual like that as you're touching something that has been used a lot down through the years probably opened with a lot of four-letter words preceding it because you know baler things but it could be worse it could be an IH baler because if you hear if you find anybody that has anything good to say about an IH baler from a model 46 on up let me know because this seems like I H is just universally known as the shittiest baler ever made sorry IH guys I'm just it's a thing most IH guys leave it admit it's like yeah they're garbage Baylor's but anyway I'm gonna get that guy put on and go from there I have no idea why he'd add that off it it's everything I don't know I can't explain it and the only guy that could tell the story passed away four years ago now I think four or five years ago now I think is when Max passed away so that story's lost a time but anyway the next thing on the agenda is the twine these are actually brand new balls I put in here but they're also three or four years old now so I don't trust them but that's this is a Brazilian gold I think is what it is I think sorry it's that Co cebra before it was Brazilian gold but anyway last time I use this thing because I used to do custom bailing for a guy and I'd use his twine and he always got I can't remember what it was it used to be TS C's old brand before they switched to county line and that twine worked great he always ran nine thousand sisal whatever the hell brand that twine was and then TSE switched to county line and he started buying that and that stuff this baler I don't know if it was just garbage twine or what but this baler did not like that whatsoever and that's what we were running last time I used it and it kept 'miss tying knots and I think part of the problem was that twine if you pull the if you pulled ten foot out of the ball and looked at it it was the diameter was like this there was no there was no consistency to the diameter I think that was missing with matters because of the way they held the twine and I was talking to a guy know out in Iowa that still runs one lead and he swears up now about this new holland herb well about 72 run the night and day difference but I bought this 9,000 back when I was still doing that baling because I was gonna try it and I ended up not bailing again and I got this from a Deere dealer and I say I could have swore it was Brazilian gold but now I'm thinking of something else but anyway because that's been in here so long I don't trust it any it's got something it's got some mold in it now just from sitting do all his bailing he always bought New Holland he bring here a New Holland Baylor's and he always bought New Holland twine and never had a lick issue till he quit going there till he quit having to buy a new Holland twine I started buying TSC twine so that being said I was doing some research because rumor had it that New Holland quit making their own twine or quit having it made and everything on the internet said that they didn't have their own client anymore so I finally called down to the New Holland dealer and he says yeah we still got it so I guess we'll find out if it's actually New Holland twine when I get the outer wrapper off but I'm hoping that I mean new howling there the bailer people I'd like to think that even if they're having somebody else make it for them and they're just packaging it that you know being New Holland they would they would have a little bit of quality control to it of their own standard but you know since New Holland went Fiat you never know man and normally you got to pull the string from a certain side I'm used to it on seed bags definitely not that side has got to come from this what the hell well you know what screw it open with a knife my doll really needs to be sharp in the night I wasn't too excited about this stuff being green over orange either because I never remember anybody having very good luck with green twine but is what it is it's supposed to be more Mouse resistant anyhow so it's definitely you know pull it bail out here cut this off because I'm not gonna use it I do have another two more balls of 9000 down in the barn that I'm gonna tie into this 7200 because I didn't want to buy four bales at 7200 and have it not work so I'm gonna buy to run it and then if it worked out I was going to just get rid of the 9000 definite a little bit I don't know how well you can see it on the camera but there definitely a little bit of a difference there in diameter and if you look at like I found where the hell the guy found it I don't know but back when I was having issues with this I was thinking around on eBay one day and there was a guy that found somehow someway a package of brand new New Holland baler twine from judging by the script on the bag like the 50s or 60s because it was the old block letter Newhall and there it was before Sperry just said New Holland and I mean that stuff looked like rope it was huge and that's the kind of twine that these Baylor's that that was what they were designed to run so I figured bigger twine should work better in the nighters which is between what I was thinking and what my god what the guy in Iowa is telling me hopefully this works they can't be any worse but I know it's not the nighters because when I was having these issues I went through and made every double-checked triple-checked every adjustment on these things in a this Baylor has no hours on it and B those there there's everything on those nighters is right there adjusted they're tight they're perfect they should make a knot so unfortunately with the baler you never know until you go bail with it so anyhow slap these guys in here and get it read it up to the matters so as it would turn out I put them I throw the bag away must have thrown the bag away this is Brazilian gold and as it turns out apparently I did by 7200 I thought I'd bought more 9,000 so technically they're the same size although looking at them next to each other I still think that New Holland twine is a little bit bigger but anyway you know I still didn't trust that twine just because it's better than this box for so long so I'm gonna need two more bales regardless and this will be a good test because I think I think this Green will get me through what I need to do but if not I can get into this yellow and see if the new how and versus which one actually works although the new island wasn't all that I was expecting it to be more that New Holland like 49 bucks for us for a pair so New Holland wasn't all that expensive honestly but I read that all through you go through this go through this feral and then up around the night or frame through that fare all through the front of the needle and then down and you tie it off to the NADA frame or not the niter frame the needle frame and then I'll set you here [Music] what am I hooking on interesting I really don't know what I'm hooking on his shouldn't be out of time it was fine when I used it last hmm had a dumbass moment because it's been so long so had this baler out I forgot when you got this thing swung over in the transport mode the plunger arm comes around and smacks on top of the drawbar so he can't make full revolution so I got to swing this thing out into into field position and then yeah whoops I forgot okay try this again without scaring the out of myself [Music] [Music] why are cannot escape he going yes oh shoot some oil on that [Music] [Music] [Music] did we make a knot or I didn't make it not and we get hooked up into the twine discs and it'll even tell you right in the book when you do this by hand not everything works exactly like it should because you're not running pto speed so you check your billhooks to make sure it strip the night you see that one dead hand that one didn't see just go in there come on you know you get that knot off of there and make sure you're hooked into your twine discs which it is and get the little nubbins out of there that i cut off from the other twine and then once you're in there that one made a knot that other one obviously made a knot so then you just come down here and the important part is it made a knot and it cut the twine which if it'll cut the twine rolling-over by hand it ought to cut the twine while you're at baling speed or while you're at pto speed might get your excess pieces off of here and wham bam thank you Sam yeah thread it yourself a baler well time to see if she still runs no funny noises that's always a good sign I'm thinking one of these days I'm probably begin to pulling that plunger and doing the slides in it but why is there a kernel of corn in there [Music] maybe that's why that tensioner wasn't not in there to belt rides funny [Music] I also I'm not 100% convinced that that's the right belt either it seems tad bit short but I could be wrong [Music] I think we're gonna leave it like that for now [Music] but let's run in go ahead and oil the chains about your small net box yep that canned about attic it's all she wrote anyway go through an oil change and I think that's about all I got to do to it really milk that that ought to about do er don't really know I say there wasn't really anything wrong with it when I parked it other than it didn't want to tie knots cuz I'm 95% sure that that twine that guy was buyer that guy was bailing for was getting was junk so unfortunately the thing about a hay baler unless you got hate of stuff through it you don't know no one always tell it's too late but I think we're gonna be alright like I say them not as I've been over multiple times there the natto should be good I can't find anything wrong with any of the adjustment on them I think it was just that junk a swine so yeah I say we all we will see but outside of that she should be ready to rock and roll and before anybody makes the comment about the pitman arm being able to come around or the plunger I'm being able to come around and smack the drawbar well being a hazard of breaking something well it would be if the PTO shaft would reach while the baler was in transport mode but it won't so it can't you physically have to have this thing swung over into field mode before you can get to PTO shaft up which I'm sure was by design because this has got the short PTO shaft on the later 60t I don't know if it was on later sixty tees or on the 62 tee well it doesn't have to be the teks there's a sixty there's a 60 W and a sixty - do you - and over the wire baler so well let's go with I don't know if it was on later 60 or on the 60 - they had the option to get the longer tongue with the midship bearing the two-piece PTO shaft but this one obviously doesn't have that and to tell you the god-honest truth I've run Baylor's both ways the neighbors new Highlands had the long tongues with the midship bearings you can cut a lot tighter corner with this short shaft I can almost make a 90-degree turn and this PTO shaft won't hammer which is odd because I figured it'd be the other way around being a short PTO I figured it hammer like a son-of-a-bitch if you tried to make a short turn but like when I was bailing with my 66 is the only one I can do it with because it's the only one narrow enough but I could take my 66 and bring the funk bring the rear tyre right around to here cut in the corner and that PTO shaft won't hammer so personally as far as maneuverability goes I like that short shaft better than the long shaft but that's just me the downside to it is you got to be careful on a tractor with a three-point because the arms getting away so that's the downside to it but and the other upside is you've only got two universals to worry about instead of three or four depending on how the company did the midship bearing but anyhow like I say I really don't know what else to do or talk about all right check the tire air in that tire I just put new tires on this thing this spring so that one's squatting a little bit but it's also kind of a tiny tire so that's understandable but I put the tires back on it to the book pellet four so it's right I just had well I had it this tire blew when I pull it out of the barn when I got it and the other tire was good ish it was black and it was rounding a hill there that's about all I can say about it but I put that one over here and then I had it different 15-inch rim with a truck tire on it over there to made the baler set funny and I also didn't like the way it looks I finally broke down and put new tires on it to the right size so anyway I'll quit rambling so I guess that's it for this one and we'll catch you at also that's not what I'm bailing with I just went over and got it with that because that's faster on the road I'm probably to pull the baler with the 18-hundred because that thing in front of the baler is just about perfect so anyway with that out of the way that's it for this one we'll catch you all on the next one
