Today's project baler plunger.

Well the retired JD mechanic came to the farm at 10 this morning, we started taking apart my baler to get the plunger out, unbolted everything, put flat washers in to hold the hay dogs out of the way tied the needles out of the way and then used a come along to pull the plunger out. Wasent to bad of a job. Now I'm soaking the pitman arm bearings to get them out to replace them. Here's some pics.

Looks drier there than it is here. But I think it's drier most anywhere than it is here!
Got about .65" over the last couple of days, now there's water everywhere. And now we're getting soaked again!

If needle frame brake is in operable condition there's no need to tie needles out of the way as the operational needle brake will do that chore.

My son has pulled the plunger on our Oliver 720 baler 3 times. He says it's easier to sharpen the cutting edge when it's out than trying to get the hex head bolts out from the inside.
