Mine looks exactly like it OTHER than having a Case 4 cyl air cooled engine setting sideways in front, and having a duel wheel on the plunger side.
 
Do you have a 140t(twine tie) or 140w (wire tie).I believe the wire ties came out later as Tom stated. I have 2 140T balers less than 100 serial numbers apart. One has green wheels and the other has desert sand.I think the color change coincided with the introduction of the 400 Case tractors. I think one is a late 1954 and the other is an early 1955. I have a 140T First edition owners manual with a print date of 4-54 on the back. Nick

CNT--What years were the model 133 built? My dad bought a new twine tie pto one in the 50's. When the book said 60 plunger strokes a minute they meant it.
 
The gentleman that Dad bought his farm from, Louie Begalka, was responsible for the modifications on a 130 that made it a 133. He had a heckuva time keeping the Case people from spying on him, trying to steal his mods without paying him. Did finally come to an agreement though.
 
Our neighbor had a late forties or early fifties Case baler with a Wisconsin motor on it. Pulled it with a SC. That thing was slow and seemed like it worked that Wisconsin to death. Had a twine box behind the pickup. Never did see a number on it.
 
We had a 140T for years with a Wisconsin on it up at the farm. We pulled it with the LA. and always pulled hay wagons behind it. I started running the LA on the baler when I was 11 or 12. I can spend hrs. telling you guys about all the adventures my uncle and I had baling on our hills with that outfit. he always road the wagon stiching in bales to build big straight loads.

I should imagine that that LA held that bailer in check pretty well. My granddad had a IHC #45 bailer and used it in steep hills of the Mo River Foothills. He said that everytime he went downhill and made a turn it seemed like the bailer was trying to grab him.

I had an F-30, and the cross drawbar was 1/2 broke at the center hole. I made a in line drawbar, but it didn't fit the closest holes tight, so it had a bit of slop. If/when I had to stop, that bailer would make the rear wheels swing outside the middle of the tread on the bottom of the ground
 
Lets just say the LA sometimes spun out and sometimes it slid down hills and sometimes the wagons tipped over due to a combunation of sidehill and woodchuck holes. Also lost a wagon due to the pull hitch on the bale chute pulling off.

My dad bought one in 63 that was reconditioned. Ran 10,000 plus thru it a year from 64-67. It was PTO wire tie. Piece of fence post done it in. Of course had 8n it wasn't big enough so bought a 430 Case new in 64.
