Tractor on baler is a 1944 John Deere B, baler is a 1954 McCormick #45. Wagon is home made on 1935 Ford axles. Tractor on rake is a 1937 John Deere B. Rake is a John Deere of unknown origin. I dug it out of the woods 20 years ago and it still works. Anybody know what model it is? 4 bar on steel.

How did you ever get that 45 to tie that many bales in a row?? Have sat on the twine boxes and tied them by the hundreds.
 
Me too, at first. I have owned this baler for almost 30 years. I got to know the knotters pretty well from taking them apart and putting them back together. Still it misses a few. That particular load had 84 bales on it and it mis-tied one time. That's about average for the old girl, depending on twine. The stationary knives have to be really sharp to keep from getting a bunch of fuzzy twine in the discs. I still look at them and clean out any bits of twine each load. As you can tell we're not trying to put up 1000 bales every afternoon with it either.

Really like the photo of the unstyled B and steel hay rake.

Looks like your 44B is 'stout' enough for your baler.

I like to see the older equipment in action.

Keep up the good work.
 
I was wondering where the farm is from town. I grew up 4 mi NE of Sunnyside. Looked like a lot of trees have grown up there where you Bailing. That used to be all cotton there around Muleshoe.

These pictures were taken by Paul in MI. I just posted them for him. Not that many trees around Muleshoe that's for sure. I don't think we would know how to get down the road if we couldn't see for a 100 miles each direction here. (LOL)
 
I was wondering where it was. I was around there a lot before everyone begin drilling the wells and then it was dry land cotton and wheat. A lot of that country was native grass until then.
