On my property there are two IH model 45 balers. One still operates, more or less, and the other has a broken knotter casting. Both are entirely clothed in rust with little sign of the original red paint.
I"m on the fence trying to decide if I should scrap them or save them for the day I have time to tinker with them, using the two to create one restored baler.
I"m just curious how common operating model 45"s are now a days. Is there hobby/collector interest in these things? If working examples are still common as fleas, I"m less likely to try to save them. But if they"re becoming an endangered species, then perhaps I"ll mothball them for a future resurrection.
