Just picked up an old Ford baler today. It was said to have baled 265 bales recently and seems it may have - there's relatively fresh looking hay in the chamber still. Not sure what model it is, but from what I've read in the archives here, think it may be a 250. It came with a book for a 150, but the pics in it don't quite match the baler. I made out 504 for the component number on the tag. I can look and post sn tomorrow. It's red with a white pickup, has a feed auger, and a side fork that pushes the hay into the bale chamber. Twine is new and the baler isn't rusted through anywhere. Anxious to try it out in corn stalks. Going to bushhog and rake some Monday and see what it'll do. It needs a new bale counter - not sure where to buy one reasonably. Also - anyone tie plastic twine with one of these old balers?
