Hello-
Just picked up a mccormick 45 hay baler a few weeks ago in working condition for $150. Rusty, but seems to bale. All I did was grease up the machine, and adjust 1 twine knife. Pulled it up in the barn to bale up some broken bales, and it tied all 20 that I have ran through it so far. I am going to try it in the field next stretch of dry weather.
Anyone know exact years of production for this baler? Did it come out in 1945 along with the mccormick 50T baler? I believe the last year of production for the 45 was 1957, then the 46 baler came out. I have two 46 balers as well. The 45 baler's serial number is around 74000 something with the letter P as a suffix.
Thanks!
