My grandpa purchased a model 10, new from the dealer in High Point, Missouri. My uncle still talks about the troubles it gave before it was converted to a regular baler. When it was converted, the dealership left off one very important part, the arm/rope that you pull to turn the conveyer on to feed a little more hay and to ketch the twine. (He swears that's what wore his knees out.) We found it in the woods, on a farm 15 miles away. The current owner had removed a lot of parts and had left it for dead along with 5 other balers. (He still has two in operational condition and they are stored inside.)
The baler isn't much, but it was saved from a one way ride to china
Where the missing arm would go
Now on the farm we have 2 white tops that are fully operational, 1 parts orange top, 2 converted model 10s (c398 and grandpa's c1008) and another converted 10 to go get. I hope to have a converted model 10 with grandpa's serial number fully operational (high speed tie) for play hayin' next spring.
Here is one of the white tops, I took this one to the local show, spur of the moment, to clean up the wheat straw from the thresher.
