Do any of you know of a supplier who has wire used in a stationary John Deere baler?

I don't think so. What he is talking about is pieces that are about 12' long with a eye woven in one end and are straight never having been coiled so that when you push them in by hand they slide in the groves in the wood blocks that seperate the bales without catching for the person on the other side to get a hold of and pull it on thru and push it back thru the next wood block for the first person to twist by hand. What you are thinking of at Rural King is the coil for automatic tye balers. What he is wanting comes in a tube shaped like a about 3-4" diameter pipe.

They are called bale ties and industrial supply houses carry them. Roger mentioned a good one. Grainger has them also.

As I recall they were 10' 3" long with an eye twisted on one end. We used a poker rod kind of like a pointed screwdriver with a notch in it. The eye is poked through the slot in the block. I don't Remember but the guy in the other side must have used the same tool to poke it back. Automatic balers were a great invention.

During WW 2 some farmers re-used the wire. I cannot figure out how they carried it with the baler.

Never heard of the eye being pushed thru, always the cut end, the eye was too big for the slot where it went through. And with the cut end it was easy to push without needing anything to help.. And the reusing the wire you just had to straighten it out and it woild go through the slots OK and would also carry in the tube just as new would. Probably were different lengths of wire avaible as with that some also liked the longer bales and the 10' would hardly reach for them, smaller good. I have heard of times the block was not droped in time so made what was called baling by the yard and would have to splice 2 wires together to get around the bale. My Dad's job was punching the wire on my Grandpa's JD pickup baler in about 1939 and that is when he met Mom. They lived 2 mile apart.
